Australian pop icon Kylie Minogue has today (February 6) announced her surprise signing to Jay-Z's well-known and respected Roc Nation label.

A message on the label's official site explains: "We would like to welcome Aussie singer, recording artist, songwriter, actress and designer Kylie Minogue to the Roc Nation family!"

"In a career now spanning 25 years, Kylie has released 11 studio albums, two live CDs, eight live concert DVDs, a greatest hits double album, and multiple video packages."

The post continued: "She has released over 50 hit singles worldwide, including the Grammy-winning Come Into My World, and has sold more than 68 million albums worldwide. Needless to say, we’re excited to have Kylie join the Roc fam."

The 'All The Lovers' songstress also uploaded a photograph of herself to her Instagram account (shown below), which she accompanied with the caption: "Kisses from my new home @rocnation #KM2013ROC."

This is the label's second major signing of 2013 as last month it was announced that super producer Timbaland had joined the family.
