KYLIE ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM

Gay pop favourite Kylie Minogue (41) has announced the upcoming release of her first studio album in three years.

The star made the announcement through a 30 second video clip on her official website at www.kylie.com.

Titled Aphrodite, the new CD is executive produced by Stuart Price, best known for his work with Madonna on her hit album Confessions on a Dancefloor.

Other collaborators on Aphrodite are said to include Calvin Harris, Jake Shears, Nerina Pallot and Keane’s Tim Rice-Oxley. The first single, All The Lovers, will be released towards the end of June.

“As I was recording it I knew that All The Lovers had to be the first single; it sums up the euphoria of the album perfectly. It gives me goose-bumps, so I’m really excited to hear what everyone thinks of it,” said Minogue.

Minogue’s website struggled to keep up with fans attempting to watch the video clip, which includes a snippet of music – but no lyrics – from All The Lovers.

“aaahhhhhhhh… you’ve overloaded the system!!! arrgggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!,” she said on Twitter.

The singer has sold more than 68 million albums around the world. Aphrodite, to be released in July, will be her 11th studio album.
