Global superstar and cultural icon Kylie Minogue has announced her greatly-anticipated new studio album Tension due for release September 22 via BMG.

Tension promises to deliver a record of euphoric, empowered dance floor bangers and sultry pop cuts. The album is comprised of 11 tracks of unabashed pleasure-seeking, seize-the-moment, joyful pop tunes. The hypnotic electro of ‘Padam Padam’ opens the album and will be the first single to be released from the record.

Discussing Tension, Minogue says, “I started this album with an open mind and a blank page. Unlike my last two albums there wasn’t a ‘theme’, it was about finding the heart or the fun or the fantasy of that moment and always trying to service the song. I wanted to celebrate each song’s individuality and to dive into that freedom. I would say it’s a blend of personal reflection, club abandon and melancholic high.”

Minogue has worked with a number of producers on the album with seven of the tracks being produced and co-written with her long-time collaborators, Biff Stannard and Duck Blackwell.

Discussing the recording process, Kylie Minogue says, “I loved being back in the studio with my collaborators but was also able to benefit from remote recording, which we have all got used to – my mobile studio never left my side for a year and a half! The album is a mix of songs I have written and songs which really spoke to me. Making this album helped me navigate challenging times and celebrate the now. I hope it accompanies listeners on their own journeys and becomes part of their story.”

The album tracklist is as follows:

  • Padam Padam
  • Hold On To Now
  • Things We Do For Love
  • Tension
  • One More Time
  • You Still Get Me High
