The Scottish teenager has been busy working with top music producers since he won X Factor's fourth series last year. His first disc will be released in October.
Minogue, who mentored Leon alongside Rhydian Roberts and Andy Williams, confirmed that she expects the record to be a massive hit.
"I last saw Leon at the Glamour Awards. I was collecting an award, so it was cool to have him there with me," Dannii explained.
"Leon is in the studio recording songs for his debut album. His voice has developed so much - his fans will be blown away. Andy has also had him pumping iron in the gym - so the girls are in for a real treat!"
Asked if she can guide a contestant to victory again this year, Minogue replied: "Ab-so-lutely!"
The X Factor returns to ITV1 for its fifth series on Saturday.
