AVAILABLE IN 2 COLOR VARIANTS

Rather than release a deluxe version of Tension bundled with era extras on a second disc, dance queen Kylie Minogue issued a brand-new full-length, Tension II, as her official 17th studio album. Arriving just a year after its elder sibling, this sequel set continues the pop diva's early-2020s winning run of irresistible dance anthems. Tension II keeps those feet firmly planted on the dancefloor with a decent collection that ranges from breezy B-side-level filler, like the throwback disco of "Taboo" and "Dance to the Music," to marquee bangers such as the pounding "Lights Camera Action" and "Kiss Bang Bang." Other highlights include the shimmering "Hello," which sounds like a "Padam Padam" sequel, the breezy neon-sheen of "Shoulda Left Ya," and "My Oh My" with Bebe Rexha and Tove Lo, a slow-grower whose charm increases with each subsequent listen as the trio does a roll call on playful verses (most importantly teaching everyone how to correctly pronounce Tove Lo's name). Tacked onto the end are a wealth of previously released guest appearances, such as "Dance Alone" from Sia's Reasonable Woman, "Midnight Ride" with Diplo and Orville Peck from the latter's Stampede, and "Edge of Saturday Night" with the Blessed Madonna. For fans craving more of Kylie's excellent early-2020s output, Tension II delivers, even when it pales next to more immediate cuts on Disco and the first Tension.
