Kylie Minogue, the Australian pop star has transformed herself into the character of the Greek goddess of love, beauty and sexuality, Aphrodite, for the launch of her album of the same name. The album will be released worldwide this month and the first single off the album, All The Lovers, debuted on the ARIA charts at number 14.
Minogue said that the album would make a good farewell to her illustrious past, “I think it’s joyful. It’s like the jus of all the best bits of my musical career…. It’s reflective in some parts – and I think there’s enough to it so that it doesn’t just bang you around the head.”
Aphrodite has been described as an album full of dance-floor anthems and summer tracks. The album sees her working with Madonna collaborator Stuart Price who is executive producer. He is also among the songwriters, as well as Scissor Sisters star Jake Shears, Calvin Harris, Nerina Pallot and Tim Rice-Oxley from the band Keane.
Aphrodite is the eleventh studio album by Minogue, and the first recording she has made in three years since 2007.
When asked about her latest transformation to Aphrodite, Minogue expresses the album as “euphoric pop”.
Kylie said: ”The single was one of the last tracks to be written for the album. 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.”
Rumours are doing the rounds of a possible Australian tour to promote the album.
