Pop diva Kylie Minogue is set to return this summer with her 11th studio album, which is set to feature quite the host of songwriters.
As Billboard reports, 41-year-old Minogue will release Aphrodite on July 6 in North America (July 5 in the UK) via Parlophone, but will treat fans to first single "All the Lovers" a week earlier, on June 29.
"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," Minogue explained in a statement.
"It gives me goose-bumps, so I'm really excited to hear what everyone thinks of it."
Aphrodite features executive producer Stuart Price (Madonna, the Killers, Gwen Stefani) and a nice stack of songwriters who contributed songs to the album, including dance auteur Calvin Harris, Scissor Sisters' Jake Shears, singer-songwriter Nerina Pallot and Keane's Tim Rice-Oxley.
The album will mark Minogue's first album since 2007's X.
