Kylie Minogue 'burst into tears' working with Pharrell Williams

The 45-year-old singer is a huge fan of the producer and admits she struggled to "keep it together" when they went into the recording studio to lay down tracks for her new album 'Kiss Me Once' because she was so overwhelmed.

She said: "It was a dream come true because I've wanted to work with him for a long time.

"I had two days with him and did two songs, one of which is on my album and it's called I Was Gonna Cancel - because I was having the worst day.

"Everything was too much. So my second day going in I was literally talking to myself saying, 'Keep it together, this is a very important day, it's Pharrell.' And I burst into tears as soon as I got there.

That's why he wrote 'I Was Gonna Cancel' as I didn't feel like going, but had to."

The first single from the album, 'Into The Blue', is accompanied by a "racy" video and Kylie loved getting close to French model Clement Sibony in the short film.

Speaking to Capital FM Breakfast Show hosts Dave Berry and Lisa Snowdon, she said: "The video's racy. It's like a long lost weekend. You're dangerously in love and you have the best time and the worst time. But he made it amazing.

"The director is Dawn Shadforth who did 'Spinning Around' and 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head'. It was a lot of fun."

Meanwhile, Ed Sheeran said he thinks Williams is a "humble guy".

The 22-year-old singer met the music producer backstage at the Grammy Awards on Sunday after he picked up four awards from his collaboration 'Get Lucky' with Daft Punk.

Ed told Entertainment Tonight: "We had fun, he's a nice guy. He's such a humble guy. He doesn't really take compliments. He just brushes them off and kind of carries on talking about stuff."

As well as picking up prizes including Record of the Year and Album of the Year for his work with

Daft Punk, Pharrell has also been nominated in the Best Original Song category at this year's Academy Awards for his track 'Happy' from the family film 'Despicable Me 2'.

The 40-year-old producer was left stunned by the nomination and said he didn't expect it.

He told Access Hollywood: "I said thank you first and then I was like, no offence to anyone, but I was kind of like catatonic for like 20 minutes.

"The thing is it's not my doing. You know, I did the song. And when you look at all the views and you look at all the purchases and the shares and the requests, those are the people.

"That's how you quantify success, is by what the people put into it. And so the people did these things for me so. I'm very thankful. I'm humbled by it."
