New Kylie album coming next year

Kylie Minogue will release a new album next year on EMI, Music Week can confirm.

 

The LP has been recorded at Abbey Road and will contain reworkings of classics from throughout Minogue's career. It celebrates 25 years since the release of her debut single Locomotion.

 

Minogue was at Abbey Road last night as part of the EMI New Music Sessions. She revealed she’d actually been working there for the past two weeks, as well as details of the album.

 

The news comes after she tweeted pictures of herself inside a studio last month pointing towards a 12th album.

 

“I’ve been at Abbey Road for about two weeks in total,” she revealed after performing a stripped down, orchestral version of her 2000 hit ‘On A Night Like This’.

 

 

“Not just for this, I’ve been working on a project for next year. Next year’s my 25th anniversary so we’ve been recording acoustic and orchestral versions of a number of my hits.”

 

The Aussie singer went on to compliment the staff at Abbey Road saying commenting on a lack of ‘attitude’ at the studio despite the music icons it has accommodated over its illustrious history.

 

The music industry gathered at the treasured studio for the New Music Sessions with acts including Chiddy Bang, The Good Natured, Emeli Sande and Professor Green performing live sets.

 

More details on Minogue's album are expected soon.

:w00t: So is it an acoustic studio album, or a greatest hits of acoustic versions of her songs?

 

Whatever it is, it's definitley the most exciting news I've heard for 2012 in music! (beating Madonna's new album and the reunion of Girls Aloud!)

:w00t: :w00t: EPIC NEWS IS EPIC! I really cannot wait for this.
I hope it's a proper album! I loved Aphrodite and more stuff like that would be fine. I won't object to something else though.
I would like an acoustic-style studio album, and a deluxe version that had acoustic versions of some of her hits! :D
I demand a studio version of her version of Wonderful Life.

Ive a mixed reaction to this, im happy to be getting another kylie album so soon, and i love following the charts even more than normal when kylie is in them. The bad side is im not an acoustic fan and from what i have heard acoustically from kylie im not overly in love with. The acoustic/ reworking of old hits album i will purely be buying it for collectional purposes but i doubt it is a collection i will enjoy.

 

Now, if we also get a brand new studio album aswell i would be super excited and it could happen, as im sure kylie will want her 25th year in the music business to be as abig as possible so im hoping a great killer single in 2012.

all the lovers is the better of the 2 but neither do a huge lot for me done in this style,,,but i was always gona say that as im biased....il have toget over this soon as when the album comes out i will probably get ate alive here as i will be saying i dont like acouctic in every 2nd sentence....i really should open my mind up more though in relation to it...i will give the album afair go when it comes round and hopefully i might get a few pleasant surprises.

Don't worry, it's probably only going to be her upcoming album which will be acoustic, Kylie is after all a POP star, so she will most likely stick to that. :)

I want a new album + a bonus disc with reworkings

Yes, i think that is what i would love aswell and it would be a strong package that could do well,, when releasing cd singles they could use one or 2 of the aouctic tracks as singles to promote aswell.

I wouldn't mind an acoustic reworked album actually, obviously I'd prefer a proper album but I love hearing her show off her voice :wub:

THIS.

I was looking forward to an acoustic album until I saw these performances. Not impressed at all. I hope the studio versions are a lot better.

I agree, it just sounds a bit bland and Kylie really failed to utilize her vocal range.

I'm not surprised or excited by this, though I do understand the logic. An acoustic album will be cheap to make and easy to market, given the whole 25 years angle. It will give EMI and Kylie what they need, in these difficult industry times - a low risk project that turns a decent profit.

 

I can't see Kylie releasing an original album at the same time, as the two concepts would be in competition with each other. However, I hope she follows it up with new material in the next 12 months. If she wants to surprise and reward fans, that's the only way to do it, as I think we're all expecting a long hiatus.

 

For me, she's a little in danger of becoming an artist that survives on past glories. That's a shame, because Aphrodite - while not a big seller, by anyone's calculations - was a creative high point. She needs to capitalize on that, as she did between 'Light Years' and Fever'.

Apparently there's a new single on the way:

 

"Good morrow. Just heard that new Kylie single, it's surprisingly rather good, different to what she's done in the past!"
