Kylie Minogue 'Skirt,' First Track Off New 2013 Album?

In "inexplicably not that big a deal in the United States" news, Kylie Minogue has just released her first new music since last year's "Timebomb," the infectious "Skirt." Keeping with a Memorial Day-ish tradition (both "Timebomb" and 2010's "All The Lovers" were both released around the holiday) Minogue dropped the Nom de Strip produced track via Soundcloud. History shows us that these tracks tend to be the first off of a new album for Minogue, so keep your ears peeled for new jams from the Aussie songstress. In the meantime, you can  listen to "Skirt" below:

The track produced by a man who's producer alias refers to stripper names starts off, unsurprisingly, like a strip-club track. However, the slinky sexiness of the first half-minute has to dive to get out of the way of Minogue's massive, arena-ready chorus. It's exactly the sort of jam we've come to expect from Minogue: a dash of the sultry and a pound and a half hook-crafting savvy and pop awareness.

In a sort of microcosm of the "Kylie who?" phenomenon in the US (Minogue has had two US hits, "The Loco-motion" in 1988 and "Can't Get You Out of My Head" in 2001), we think of the tracks as always dropping around Memorial Day. For Kylie, it's likely that she's dropping them around her birthday which is today (May 28).

What do you think of Kylie Minogue's latest "Skirt"?
