Kylie Minogue has told Attitude magazine that she started recording tracks for a jazz album before working on her new LP 'Aphrodite', and had originally planned to release a covers album of songs by late US jazz singer Blossom Dearie. 

"There are so many things floating around. I wanted to do a Kylie Sings Blossom album and I actually met Blossom Dearie just before she died. We had to track her down, I wanted her to play piano or have something to do with it. I started recording her songs. A couple ended up on the 'White Diamond' soundtrack because they sounded great." 

Kylie releases her new LP 'Aphrodite' next month on July 5.
