Don't be surprised if the next time you see Kylie Minogue, she is sporting a 1950's look, complete with the blonde hair and the vintage dress, as the reigning queen of the pop charts now wants a more grown up and refined image, which is why she has decided to be a jazz singer.
According to the Sun, 38 year old, Kylie reckons that making more laid back music and singing in jazz clubs should be more her style as she grows older and she is looking at reviving some of the lesser known jazz numbers.
The 'Slow' star has already recorded some of the songs for the albums and insiders claim that she is very happy with the results.
"Kylie will release a greatest-hits album first but then a jazzy album. She wants a more grown-up sound to reflect how she has matured. She's still going for a sexy look but is 36 and wants to be more refined," the report quoted an insider as saying.
"She has sung live jazz versions of Santa Baby and Better The Devil You Know and they suited her voice. Kylie has already recorded a few tracks for the album and they sound brilliant. Her fans are in for a very pleasant surprise," the source added. (ANI)

Kylie's fame too high a price for her man

KYLIE Minogue has admitted her high profile has strained her relationship with French actor Olivier Martinez.
But she does not think they have a serious problem.
Minogue, 36, left Australia early Friday after launching a hosiery line as part of her Love Kylie lingerie range.
The launch was overshadowed by rumours there were problems in her relationship with Martinez -- which were denied.
But Minogue has admitted that constant pressure from the paparazzi hurt her relationship with Martinez.
In the cover story of next month's Harpers' Bazaar, for which she posed as a 70s' diva, she said: "Basically, since I've met Ollie (her pet name for Martinez), I've decided to make some changes. Make sure there's time for us.
"Those magazine articles about me, be they true or absolutely fabricated, it's something I've had to get used to.
"But I don't think Ollie will ever get used to it. His life has been very different. He's been in incredible movies and worked with great directors and is very high-profile in that way, but this is all very different."
Then again, she says: "It's hard even for my best friends -- photographers following us down the street and people asking questions. The friends hardly get a word in."
Minogue's new look was created by Minogue with her personal stylist William Baker -- whom she describes as "my creative director, best friend and gay husband" -- and photographer Tesh.
Baker has been credited as the man who created her "best butt in the world" reputation. Minogue says her famous body is built without a strict exercise regime, preferring "everything in moderation. I have fitness in fits and bursts, mainly when I'm touring".
Pictures published in Britain showed Martinez, 38, dancing aboard a yacht in St Tropez with scantily clad actress Michelle Rodriguez.
A spokesperson for Minogue said she had not been worried by the reports.
