LONDON, Nov. 14 (UPI) -- Australian pop singer Kylie Minogue says getting back into the recording studio after beating breast cancer was a cathartic experience.

Minogue discussed her illness as she co-presented the Jo Whiley show on BBC Radio 1 to promote her latest CD, "X."

"I think the anger came out as energy and I wanted to know that I could do what I had done before," Minogue said. "I kind of went nuts in the studio for a week, which was cathartic."

Describing herself as being like a "bat out of hell," she added, "I just wanted to record anything and everything."

The singer said the new album probably would have turned out differently had she not previously been sick.

"Now I know more than before that life isn't a straight road and it takes us on some unexpected turns and it's the experience that matters, and what you do with that," she said.
