New album hasn`t been easy: Kylie Minogue

London: Pop star Kylie Minogue admits it has not been easy making her new album. The `Celebration` hitmaker, who is a judge on talent show `The Voice`, said she took risks on her next record which will be released after the series finishes, reported Contactmusic. "I actually didn`t know where I was going or what the future held at the end of 2012. There`s been a lot of change, this album is about taking the plunge and embracing the future and not holding on to things from the past. "It wasn`t the easiest road but singing with Roc Nation, spending a lot of time in America and doing The Voice gave me a challenge and I needed that to feel reinvigorated," she said. The 45-year-old singer said despite it being tough, making new music has been rewarding. But after years as one of the world`s biggest pop stars, she admits she still worries about what people will think of her music.
