Kylie Minogue's new album The Aphrodite will be see songs merge into each other, producer reveals
SONGS on Kylie Minogue's long-awaited new album will be mixed together to create one piece of music.
Producer Stuart Price is busy in his London studio getting The Aphrodite album ready for its July 5 release.
He told The Razz he wants to create a natural, continuous flow, rather than the usual series of individual songs, for Kylie's first album since her battle with cancer.
Stuart, who stitched songs together in a similar way for Madonna's Confessions on the Dancefloor album, got involved with Aphrodite last October when he met Kylie in New York for a writing session.
His work with the star is a "house party" record, he said, adding: "She's got that glint in her eye."
Some of the world's top songwriters were brought in but songs were only picked because of their quality.
France-born Stuart, who worked under pseudonyms such as Jacques Lu Cont and Les Rhythmes Digitales, revealed Kylie sang while directly facing him, rather than being locked away in a glass booth.
It meant they could try out songs and check if they withstood their odd but reliable "Dolly Parton" test.
Stuart and Kylie knew a song would work if it made sense when sung as Dolly would - and insiders say Kylie does a fab country version of All The Lovers.
Kylie's management confirmed: "She's an incredible mimic and does a mean Dolly Parton impression but she won't be releasing that version as a single officially."
Popjustice.com editor Peter Robinson was given a sneak preview.
He told the Razz yesterday: "Aphrodite is shaping up to be her best album since Light Years."
Peter, a Kylie fan club member since he was 10, reckons first single All The Lovers - out on June 26 - is "a bit like I Believe In You with a more danceable edge" and is "something of a masterpiece".
