Katie Melua has announced plans to release a new album.

The sultry singer will unleash 'Ketevan' on September 16.

The title of the album, which will be her sixth studio release, comes from Melua's Georgian first name.

Her last full studio record came in the shape of 2012's 'Secret Symphony', which managed to hit No.8 in the UK chart.

Melua meanwhile recently told the Daily Mail that she was mugged in London this week after leaving a recording studio, revealing:

"It was quite late but with the weather being gorgeous I thought a stroll would be great. And because I'm not familiar with the back streets, I was holding my phone out in front of me and following the directions on a map home. I heard running steps behind me and before I could turn to see who it was, I felt their hands grab mine and wrestle my phone out of my grip. I was spooked and shocked. But I'm relieved they didn't take my bag too."
