Australia’s favourite pop export – possibly of all time – has embarked on a new avenue of mythological proportions.
Kylie Minogue recently released her highly anticipated new album titled Aphrodite. 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.
In an interview with UK music website Popjustice, 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. A number of songwriters have contributed to the record including Calvin Harris, Jake Shears and Stuart Price.
Aphrodite is the eleventh studio album by Minogue, and the first recording she has made in three years since 2007.
Over the course of her three decade long career Kylie Minogue has portrayed various characters; the girl next door, a disco diva, and now the Greek goddess of love, beauty and sexuality; Aphrodite.
The star cites her most inspirational muse for each makeover to be Madonna, “…she is the queen of pop and I am the princess”.
When asked about her latest transformation to Aphrodite, Minogue expresses the album as “euphoric pop”.
Rumours are doing the rounds of a possible Australian tour to promote the album.
