Kylie Minogue has spoken out about joining Jay-Z's Roc Nation management, and working with Pharrell Williams on her new album.

Minogue is on the Roc Nation roster alongside Rihanna, Solange, MIA and the Ting Tings, and it seems an unusual fit. However, the star says that it's actually bringing out something different in her music and allowing her to experiment.

Speaking to Rolling Stone magazine, Minogue said, "It's been very interesting to be making an album primarily here – just the slight difference in the way people work. And it's a great new energy being with Roc Nation. It's a very exciting time."

She continued, "It's bringing out something different in me, which is cool," she says. "I need to know what it is to do something different – different style of delivery, different beats, different subject matter. I think that I am a natural chameleon, so that floats my boat...

"I will maintain the DNA of what a Kylie track is, just because I'm on it. I like to try move the goalpost and experiment with different sounds. I can't tell you exactly what it is. I couldn't really describe it yet. But I can tell you I'm having a lot of fun in the process."

Minogue also spoke about wanting to perform the songs live, and looking forward to taking the new music on tour.

There are definitely tracks where I sit in the studio and say, 'Just give me the audience and this will be magic,'" she said. "I'm desperate for that moment."
