EMI have confirmed that pop icon Kylie Minogue is set to release a brand new album next year. 

The superstar was present at the world famous Abbey Road Studios last night for its special 80th birthday celebrations and revealed that she has been working there for the past few weeks.

She also treated attendees to a few more exciting details about her new "project" and said:

"I've been at Abbey Road for about two weeks in total - not just for this, I've been working on a project for next year!"

"Next year's my 25th anniversary," she continued. "We've been recording acoustic and orchestral versions of a number of my hits."

She performed a few of her songs for the intimate crowd last night, November 10, including a stripped back rendition of 'On A Night Like This', and promised her Twitter followers that she will upload exclusive footage of the showcase "later".
