Kylie Minogue is back in the studio working on a repackage of her hit album ‘Tension’ – and a brand new dance record.
According to reports, the Aussie superstar, is planning to re-release her latest LP – featuring the singles Padam Padam and Hold On To Now, along with the title song, while work is also underway on its follow-up.
“Kylie has made it clear to her team this is no time to slow down,” insiders tell The Sun’s Bizarre column. “Plans are already in motion for the next two albums, one of which will be a repackage of ‘Tension’ with additional songs.
“As for the direction of album 17 it’s early days — but a full-on dance album is in the works.
“The plan is to release the ‘Tension’ repackage towards the end of the year, with probably up to five new tracks.”
Early in March, Kylie – who recently teamed up with Madonna during her Los Angeles show – was in the studio with British DJ Joel Corry working on new material, with the hitmaker recently admitting she “likes all change” and is keen to explore different genres.
“I just love collaboration and stepping into different [genres]. Being malleable and seeing what’s possible,” she shared.
“I like all change. Who would’ve thought I’d do a murder ballad with Nick Cave [1996’s Where The Wild Roses Grow]? Or sing with Kermit the Frog?
“There are so many artists I love, and every collaboration takes you somewhere you didn’t know you’d go. So watch this space!”
It comes as Kylie hinted she may experiment with indie-folk for her next release, and admitted it is one of her “happy places”.
The BRITs Global Icon winner – who won the Global Icon prize and performed a medley of hits during this year’s show – confessed: “I just listen to playlists of one song I like, which leads me down this trippy path.
“Who should I seek out tonight? Just putting it out there that indie-pop-folk is one of my happy places.”
