Golden, due out 6 April, will be the 49-year-old’s first studio album featuring all new material since Kiss Me Once (2014), which gave us pop perfection with singles Into the Blue, Sexercize and I Was Gonna Cancel.

Back in November, she told The Sun that the album will deal with her breakup from ex-fiance Joshua Sasse.

“There’s a little bit of heartbreak, I would say. Mostly I try to reflect where I am,” she said of her new music.

“Definitely, in the last year, there’s been some of that [heartbreak] but we bounce back. Most of it is super positive and inspiring, as a note to self as much as anything else. I’m feeling great right now.

“The songs are very storytelling and story-based. It was so great to do things a little bit differently.”
