Kylie: 'New LP would be good farewell'

Kylie Minogue has admitted that her new album would make a good farewell if she decided to quit the music industry.

The singer, who is gearing up for the release of her eleventh studio record Aphrodite, said that the LP incorporates the "best bits" of her musical career and has a positive nature that could make it a fitting way to bow out of music.

She told Popjustice: "I think it’s joyful. It’s like the jus of all the best bits of my musical career. It’s reflective in some parts - and I think there’s enough to it so that it doesn’t just bang you around the head.

"When Stuart [Price, executive producer] and I were compiling the tracklist we decided that we have plenty of bangers and that’s when we decided we needed songs like ‘Closer’ to bring it down a little."

On whether the LP addresses her battle with breast cancer in 2005, she said: "I still haven’t written on this album anything about that time, because it didn’t feel like the right time. This album is more about being in a pretty happy in my moment in my life."

Minogue releases Aphrodite on July 5.
