Kylie Minogue has unveiled a reworking of her Nick Cave duet, 'Where the Wild Roses Grow'.

The track has been re-recorded as part of Kylie's 'Abbey Road Sessions' album.

The LP sees the 44-year-old take to the legendary London studio to reinterpret a collection of her greatest hits, backed by a full orchestra.

In 1995 Kylie was best known as a former soap-star who made sweet, innocent pop songs- so her contribution to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' 'Murderballads' album was a bolt from the blue.

The 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' star told Gigwise why she has always been drawn to the unexpected.

"This isn't like 'What? What has she done?' OK, so when I did a Murderballad with Nick Cave, yes, that was scandalous,

"But that, through to doing a film about the last castrado with Sam Taylor Wood, to this [the album]- I've been attracted to looking at things from a different angle and seeing what I could do."

Other tracks that have been reworked for the album included 'All the Lovers', 'The Loco-Motion', and 'I Should be so lucky'.

The release of the record marks the queen of pop's 25th year in the music business, and is an indication to fans that the longevity of her career has not quenched her thirst to go beyond the obvious and stand out from the crowd.

She added: "What I think what we've ended up with through all the different things we've done is a real luxury to have fans expecting something different

Kylie Minogue's new album 'The Abbey Road Sessions' is released on Parlophone on 29 October.
