Kylie’s highly-anticipated latest album, ‘Tension,’ has now been released via BMG, offering an exhilarating blend of dance floor anthems and seductive pop tunes.
This critically acclaimed record boasts global smash hits like ‘Padam Padam’ and the titular track, ‘Tension.’ ‘Padam Padam,’ which dropped in May, quickly became a viral sensation, racking up 157 million global streams, securing a four-week presence in the UK Top 10, and even reaching number 1 on the UK airplay chart. It received remix treatment from HAAi, Jax Jones, and Absolute, and the public clamored for ‘Padam’ to be enshrined in the dictionary. ‘Tension’ made its mark by debuting in the UK Top 20 and climbing to number 7 in the UK airplay chart within its first week of release. TikTok users worldwide also embraced the track. You can listen to the full album ‘Tension’.
Speaking about ‘Tension,’ Kylie shares, “I started this album with an open mind and a blank page. Unlike my last two albums, there wasn’t a specific ‘theme.’ It was about finding the heart, the fun, or the fantasy of that moment, always trying to serve the song. I wanted to celebrate each song’s unique qualities and revel in that freedom. I’d say it’s a mix of personal reflection, the abandon of the club, and a touch of melancholic euphoria.”
To celebrate the album’s release, Kylie has launched a special pop-up shop in London, stocked with exclusive merchandise and personally curated products—a must-visit experience for all Kylie fans, collectors, and music enthusiasts. The shop is located at the iconic 55 Regent Street and is open to fans from today until Sunday, September 24, operating from 10 am to 6 pm daily.
Last Friday, Kylie was at the heart of London Fashion Week, with the British Fashion Council hosting an exclusive preview party for her new album. She led the crowd at Lío London in a spirited “Kylie-oke” singalong featuring her recent hit singles. The weekend festivities continued in Leicester on Sunday, where Kylie headlined the BBC’s Radio 2 in the Park event.
Starting in November, Kylie embarks on her inaugural series of headline shows in Las Vegas at Voltaire, the Venetian Resort Las Vegas’ newest nightlife sensation. Voltaire blurs the lines between an intimate club, concert, and non-stop entertainment venue, and Kylie’s exclusive US residency at the venue will commence with its opening on November 3. During this residency, she will perform tracks from her new album alongside many of her greatest hits.
Kylie’s remarkable career has seen her achieve over 80 million records sold worldwide, accumulate five billion streams, and secure eight UK Number 1 albums. Her numerous awards include three BRIT Awards, two MTV Awards, and a Grammy. She holds the distinction of being the only female artist to achieve a Number 1 album and Top 10 singles in five consecutive decades in the UK.
