Kylie Minogue has admitted she had a "slight meltdown" working on her new album from home during lockdown.

The 52-year-old singer, who has been recording her upcoming LP Disco at her London home during the coronavirus pandemic, revealed how the process "really wore her out".

Speaking to Music Week, she said: "I'd been going at such a pace every day and juggling different writers, producers and schedules and trying to be prepared – it really wore me out.

"I had a slight, well, meltdown. Probably sounds a bit dramatic, but I realised I’d been going at such a pace because I was driven to get this done."

"And we did get it done in the end. We really wanted to make it count and direct our energy. We all just threw our best into it."

Minogue said she had a "very different experience" making her new album and said "it got quite intense".

"It was a very different experience compared to going into studios where the doors shut, you have no idea what time it is and suddenly it is 7pm and you've not looked at your phone.

"It was lockdown and I was here on my own, so it got quite intense."

"There was a point near the end where I actually felt just so drained," she said.

Disco is set for release on November 6.
