Impossible Princess is the sixth studio album by Australian singer Kylie Minogue, released on 22 October 1997, by Deconstruction, BMG and Mushroom Records. The singer asserted greater creative control over the project — as a co-producer and composer of the material — compared to her previous work, assisted by Brothers in Rhythm, Manic Street Preachers, David Ball and Rob Dougan.
Production of Impossible Princess took place mainly at Real World Studios (pictured in 2013) in Box, Wiltshire
James Dean Bradfield (pictured in 2014) wrote and produced two tracks with Minogue
English musician Guy Barker (pictured in 2007, middle) played a trumpet solo on "Through the Years"
The title of the record, as well as the song "Dreams", is a reference to Billy Childish's (pictured in 2007) novel Poems to Break the Harts of Impossible Princesses (1994)
