Kylie has confirmed rumours that she has recorded a few jazz tracks to release on an unsuspecting audience.

She told the Melbourne Sun-Herald: 'I don't think I would retire from pop. I honestly don't know. I'm not good at projecting the future. There are a lot more pressing matters in the meantime, but when I reach that stage, that's what inspires me: the unknown. What will I do? But I enjoyed (jazz) and it is the most unlikely thing for me to do, but when I did it, it was received really well. And because it's so unlikely, it worked.

'I had no intention of talking about it but they are done, just as demos. A lot of research has to go into recording any of those standards and in the process of doing that I felt really challenged, really inspired and,surprisingly, some songs I thought would suit me didn't and others I thought 'Hmm' worked really well.'

The change of direction is not to be permanent, but it is an avenue that she would like to explore. This not the first time Kylie has gone off on a musical tangent. She has gone from cheesy pop with the likes of 'Locomotion,' to her version of indie, collaborating with artists such as Nick Cave and Manic Street Preachers, to the recent brand of chart-topping floor-fillers such as Spinning Around, to, so it seems, jazz.

Kylie has yet another hits collection, Ultimate Kylie, coming out on Monday, followed by her new single, I Believe In You, on December 6th. "
