Kylie + Garibay (titled Black and White on Minogue's website) is the second collaborative extended play (EP) by Australian singer Kylie Minogue, and American producer Fernando Garibay. It was released on 11 September 2015 by Parlophone and Warner Bros. Records, and serves as a sequel to their first collaboration, Sleepwalker (2014). Produced by Garibay and Italian disc jockey Giorgio Moroder, the three-track EP was developed between February and August 2015, shortly after Minogue's departure with Parlophone and American-based management Roc Nation. Musically, it is influenced by electronica, ambient house and, in a departure for Minogue reggae and dancehall. Its lyrical content completes an story arc, begun with their previous EP, from loss to recovery.
Released with no prior announcement, Kylie + Garibay received positive reviews from most music critics. Majority of the reviews highlighted Minogue's return to mainstream dance music, and complimented the production by Garibay and Moroder. The EP's lead track "Black and White" received an accompanying music video directed by long time friend and collaborator Katerina Jebb, and even though intended as a low key underground project garnered acclaim in regions including Australia, France, Spain, and the United Kingdom. As a surprise, the singer appeared at Moroder's Los Angeles, California gig to play and sing along to their track, "Your Body".
In March 2014, Minogue released her twelfth studio album, Kiss Me Once. Achieving positive reviews and experiencing moderate commercial success, she subsequently commenced her Kiss Me Once Tour through Europe and Australia, between September that year to March 2015. During the first leg of her tour, the singer featured a short film titled Sleepwalker, which was presented to the audience before the beginning of the show. Produced by American producer Fernando Garibay, the tracks from the short film were distributed on Minogue's SoundCloud channel on 26 September 2014; the "experimental" recordings are "Glow", "Wait", "Break This Heartbreak", and "Chasing Ghosts". In January 2015, Italian disc jockey Giorgio Moroder confirmed a new musical project with Minogue and Garibay, revealing to American website Idolator: "She is doing another EP with our friend Fernando who did most of Lady Gaga's Born This Way." He described the approach as "very sexy and uncommercial".
