Kylie breaks the “Tension”, an ABBA legend returns, Souvenir finds a “Soft Place To Land”
As excited as we are for Miss Minogue, we’ve got tons of equally exciting new music coming our way in September, and this week’s bop after bop offers a glimpse at what’s to come…The tension among fans is building leading up to Kylie Minogue’s sixteenth studio album, and the project’s title track has broken it by unleashing another perfectly crafted yet experimental pop song.
There is a reason Minogue’s decades-spanning career has garnered a loyal gay following: her consistency in delivering high-quality bops that are pop to the highest degree.
With “Tension”, the pop icon teases the listener, opening with ’90s house-style keyboards and a propulsive dance beat before diving into an electro-pop climax in the chorus that is dancefloor euphoria, paired with Kylie’s vocals evoking a distorted, slightly robotic, and sensual demands.
It’s sexy, infectious, and she’s at the very top of her game and I honestly don’t know if we’ll be able to handle her album release on September 22.
