Kylie Minogue has been reinvented as a Greek goddess, as she announced details of her return with a new album.

She poses as the goddess of love Aphrodite - who gives her name to the singer's 11th studio album - for the cover of her new release, due out in July.

Kylie is seen in flowing, windswept blue robes, arms held aloft and looking to the heavens in the shot. It could be the answer to the prayers of her record bosses at struggling EMI, which owns her label Parlophone.

Details were released on the singer's website along with a snippet of her forthcoming single "All The Lovers" which is out on June 28.

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.

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."

Price said: "All The Lovers is a magical song and sums up everything that the album is: Kylie doing pop dance music at her best.

"When you look in your mind's eye at everything Kylie is, it's on this record."

Kylie snags the collaborator that gave Madonna her Kylie album.

how brilliantly incestuous.

Kind of exciting. Never really got into the last album. Some good songs, but overall blah.

Sounds promising.

Is that the album cover?

JackieBlue said:

Yep. I think I like it.

The cover looks more like a perfume ad but I'm still going to support it...

I think I like it. I at least love the blue, the flowing fabric and title font.

I, too, think that the cover looks like print advertising for a new scent("Aphrodite" by Kylie). But I like her & look forward to previewing the tracks.

ready to go worship

I thought the exact same thing.

That clip sounded a bit too poppy. I need to hear more!!!

somebody go check on Chico. I think he's passed out from excitement

Kinda excited

You know he had a spare double cheeseburger in his purse to calm his nerves

Gawd, Colorr Me Gay; I love it.

Even though the cover looks like an add for a cheap perfume, I hope the music is bubbly and mindless enough for me to dance my blues away.

You guys got me

The more I look at the cover and listen to the sample, the more excited I am. Seems like it could be a genuinely fun pop album....isn't that what the worlds needs now. The question.....when will the US get it? Maybe with the recent tour proving to be a hit, the label will wise up and release it all at once and Kylie will even do some promo here!

CHIC0 said:

It's an epic album cover, but the world needs EPIC POP!

YES! YES! YEEEEES!

Hope it's not as poppy as "X" though; I'd kill for a club/disco sound like BL or half of Fever...

Alright, I've listened the sample and it sounds like "X"

JoeTyler said:

They keep saying she is going back to her dance roots...I assume that is a dig at "X" and it truly will be dance.
