Kylie Minogue has served as pop royalty for 30 years and her latest comments suggest no plans of slowing down.
Ahead of the release of her album Golden, which drops in April, Kylie has spoken out about her joy of recording, which she still finds ‘fresh’.
Commenting on her decades in the limelight, Kylie said: ‘It’s [been] a long time. And strangely I feel, as far as the recording goes, and the challenge and the stimulation of making an album, that still feels fresh to me.
‘I feel like there’s so much to learn and to do’.
The comments follow Kylie’s sharp change in direction, having recorded a country music album in Nashville, Tennessee.
Commenting on Nashville, Kylie said: ‘I can’t wait to go back. It was really very modern, cosmopolitan, but the sense of it being a musical city is really unavoidable.’

The star also enjoyed the anonymity of the city, where she went unrecognised the whole time which felt ‘really free’.
Golden was something of a comeback for Kylie, who hadn’t had a single in the charts since 2012’s Timebomb.
Kylie’s last album, Kiss Me Once, climbed to number two in the album charts but both singles, I Was Gonna Cancel, and Into The Blue, failed to chart.
In that sense, Kylie, whose eponymous first album was released in 1988, is making up for lost time with the record which was the singer’s way of owning her image in the media eye.
‘I just had a phrase in my mind, which was, I’m not young and I’m not old. And then I thought, well, just be golden,’ she told OK! magazine.

‘I’m asked a lot about being my age in the industry and I get sick of being asked about it. But I understand the interest and the need for the question. You can’t be younger than you are and you can’t make yourself older’.
‘So just be yourself and shine as best as you can at that point in your life’.
Kylie’s personal life is still the focus of attention for many. After a long engagement, Kylie broke it off with her fiancé Joshua Sasse in February 2017 and has said recently she fears she may never find ‘the one’.
