Kylie – Tension CD

Tension sees Kylie Minogue returning to the dance-pop territory where she has always been at her strongest, but with a distinctly modern and sensual approach. The album is built around electronic production, pulsating beats, glossy synths and instantly memorable pop hooks, creating a sophisticated club-oriented atmosphere from beginning to end.

The huge “Padam Padam” became the album’s defining moment, with its hypnotic production and instantly recognisable chorus demonstrating exactly why Kylie remains such a formidable presence in dance-pop. Elsewhere, tracks such as “Tension,” “Hold On To Now” and “Vegas High” explore different shades of electronic pop, moving from euphoric dancefloor energy to more emotional territory. A vibrant and confident album from an artist who has spent decades understanding exactly how to make pop music move.
