KYLIE MINOGUE is back and she’s about to sweep through your city like a fabulous, bedazzled tornado! That’s right, the “Padam Padam” queen herself dropped a glitter bomb of news on us this fine Thursday, September 19th, and it’s got us clutching our disco balls in excitement.
First up, Kylie’s not just bringing us an album — no, she’s giving us a SEQUEL. Tension II is coming on October 18th, and if you’re not ready to feel some serious musical tension, you better start stretching those eardrums now. This is a follow-up to her 2023 hit album Tension, because obviously one album of pure electro-pop excellence wasn’t enough. Kylie knows we crave more, and like the generous pop goddess she is, she’s delivering with nine brand-spankin’ new tracks.
And what’s leading the charge, you ask? A single that practically screams “I’m here, darling!” — “Lights Camera Action” will be dropping on September 27th, and we expect nothing less than dramatic hair flips, confetti cannons, and a dance break that’ll make your downstairs neighbors file a noise complaint.
Kylie, of course, made the announcement in the most Kylie way possible, with more emojis than a Gen Z group chat:
“LOVERS! 🩶🩵🩶 TENSION II … The sequel with NINE new tracks will be yours on October 18th! 🎉 Get ready for your close up … Lead single coming September 27th … LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! 💡📸🎬 But wait! There’s MORE…”
Yes, there’s more. This woman is unstoppable. She also teased us with the long-awaited Tension Tour, which is already set to hit Australia and Europe, and — cue dramatic gasp — dates for North and South America are on the way. So, if you live in a city where sparkly outfits and epic pop music aren’t allowed, it’s time to pack your bags and relocate.
Kylie couldn’t resist a bit of cheeky suspense, adding: “You have no idea how hard it’s been to keep all the planning and prep from you 🥹 But it’s time and I. CAN’T. WAIT! Head to Kylie.com for more info … See you sooonn!!”
Grab your sequins, start practicing your high kicks, and get ready to scream “PADAM” at the top of your lungs when Kylie comes to a venue near you. October 18th is around the corner, and trust me, you don’t want to miss the sparkle train!
