Not content with being a guest coach on the new season of BBC talent show The Voice, Kylie Minogue has sent the music world into a spin by confirming new single Into The Blue, alongside a new album.

Into The Blue has been confirmed for a release day on 16th March (though likely we’ll hear it much sooner than this), and whilst the as-yet-untitled new album has only a “later this year” tentative release date, Minogue has confirmed that the new LP (her twelfth studio recording), is to feature production and writing credits including Pharrell, Greg Kurstin, Metrophonic, Cutfather, MNEK and Ariel Rechtshaid.

Of the new material, Kylie said “2013 was a year of big change, planning and preparation for me and I’m so excited that 2014 is finally here so I can share this new music. Into The Blue is really special to me as it encapsulates a lot of what I’ve been feeling – I can’t wait for it to be out there.”

The new single, written by Kelly Sheehan (of Nicki Minaj/Rita Ora-fame) has been described as “a euphoric return to the dance floor”.

Looking forward to that 16th March release date then!
