Sep 19, 2023There’s enough originality pumped throughout each track that ‘Tension’ will undoubtedly stand as one of the most favoured contemporary Kylie eras. There’s no pretension to its greatness, just our Kylie, once again, humbly proving how easily she can forge gold and transform into pop culture phenomenon.
-
Sep 21, 2023Much like Disco, Tension is a master class in pop wizardry and escapist bliss. Releasing an album this expertly crafted and stunning in her fifth decade in the business is an absolute wonder to behold.
-
Sep 21, 2023Tension’s a knockout, and Kylie is this world’s gem.
-
Sep 22, 2023You Still Get Me High and Story are full-on 80s pop, expertly executed with hooks, vocal performances and a widescreen feel. Even better are breezy retro cuts such as Hands, a frisky disco/R&B; outing with rapped sections. One More Time, meanwhile, packs in handclaps, housey disco and more party-for-two promises.
-
Sep 22, 2023Shrewdly, she rarely repeats herself, keeping things fresh by always being adventurous. That’s worked throughout her career, and it works on Tension especially.
-
Sep 22, 2023That’s what listening to Tension feels like: 100 per cent “Whheeeeeee!”
-
Sep 19, 2023Only Tension’s title track, with its digitally enhanced vocal hook, veers into territory that could be described as “experimental.” Which is to say, for better or worse, Tension is another Kylie Minogue album.
