Kylie and Garibay (stylized as Kylie + Garibay; alternatively titled Black and White) is the second extended play (EP) by musical duo Kylie and Garibay. Following Kylie Minogue's departure from her management company, Roc Nation, the three-track EP was released as a surprise on 11 September 2015 by Parlophone and her own production company, Kimberly Limited. Solely produced by Fernando Garibay, the EP served as an extension of the duo's first collaboration, Sleepwalker (2014). Initiated in September 2014, the recording process enlisted Giorgio Moroder, Sam Sparro, and Shaggy as co-writers and feature vocalists.
Musically, the EP is a combination of electronic, disco, and pop music. Its lyrical content completes a story arc that began in Sleepwalker, going from loss to recovery after a heartbreak. Music critics complimented Garibay's experimental arrangement, Minogue's performance, and the collaborations on the EP. Kylie and Garibay peaked at number 100 in Australia, with the tracks charting in low positions in France, Scotland, and the UK. Directed by Minogue's longtime friend and colleague Katerina Jebb, the music videos for "Black and White" and "Your Body" were published in September 2015.
