Kylie Minogue celebrates new single 'Dancing': I'm 'overwhelmed'

Jan. 19 (UPI) -- Kylie Minogue says she was "overwhelmed" by the response to her new single.

The 49-year-old Australian singer thanked fans in a tweet Thursday after debuting the song "Dancing" from her forthcoming album Golden.

"Thank you so much to everyone for tuning in for the first play of #Dancing..." she wrote. "I am completely overwhelmed and sending out so much love."

Minogue introduced "Dancing" Thursday on BBC Radio 2's The Chris Evans Breakfast Show before releasing the single at midnight. She celebrated the song's debut by sharing Golden's cover art and release date.

"#Lovers!! The excitement of today is too much! So ecstatic to share the #Golden album artwork and reveal the album release date... April 6th! 'Golden' is available to pre-order," the star tweeted.

Golden will be Minogue's first studio album release since Kylie Christmas in November 2015. She told BBC Radio 2 she recorded the majority of the record in Nashville, which she said gives the album a "country feel."

"A lot of it was done in Nshville, and that taught me about putting more story into the song," the singer said. "And then you can take that song and produce that any way you want."
