Kylie Minogue will work with Paula Abdul on her next studio album, it has been claimed.

Minogue has reportedly been offered a number of songs by the American Idol judge, who penned her previous chart-topper 'Spinning Around'.

"Kylie will be in the US on a mini tour at the end of the summer and she hopes to record some new music with American friends around those dates," a source told the Daily Star.

"Paula has just completed her first new album in a while and has bags of songs left. The ideal thing would be to try to repeat the success of 'Spinning Around'."

The 41-year-old, who released her last record X in 2007, insisted that she intends to stick with a "pop dance" style.

"I'd love to find a slightly new style, something that's the next step for me," she said.

"I kind of have an idea but I can't really tell you. I'm working on it."
