Kylie's new album Tension II, is out on October 18. Described as 'the high energy, high octane partner of the Number 1 album and global smash Tension', sees Kylie head further into the electronic space, and is packed full of dance floor anthems.

The album includes nine brand new Kylie studio tracks plus the latest dance hit Edge of Saturday Night with The Blessed Madonna as well as the collaborations with Orville Peck, Bebe Rexha and Tove Lo, and Sia.

Kylie said: "The Tension era has been so special to me … I can’t possibly let it be over just yet! Welcome to Tension II."

2024 has already seen Kylie take home the Global Icon Award at the BRITs, win the Best Pop Dance Recording Grammy for the smash hit, ‘Padam Padam’, attend the Met Gala, complete her inaugural Las Vegas Residency, perform at WeHo Pride and release a series of high profile collaborations. July saw Kylie perform an awe-inspiring and critically lauded headline show at London’s BST Hyde Park.

Described by The Guardian as “a glorious celebration of pop perfection" and by Metro as "outrageously good", Rolling Stone’s review said: "This pop queen’s London takeover proves her unchallengeable place atop the throne remains perfectly intact." 

Kylie released her number one album Tension in September last year, which has now surpassed 500,000 sales worldwide and nearing half a billion streams.
