Tension II

Tension II is the seventeenth studio album by Australian singer Kylie Minogue. BMG and Minogue's company Darenote released it on 18 October 2024 in various digital, physical, and streaming formats. It is a sequel to her sixteenth studio album, Tension (2023), and is described as the "high-energy, high-octane" companion to its predecessor. Unlike her previous records, Tension II features several new producers and collaborators, as well as returning collaborators Duck Blackwell, Richard "Biff" Stannard, Peter "Lostboy" Rycroft, and Ina Wroldsen.

Tension II is a dance-pop and electropop album that includes elements of club, disco, and synth-pop music, and the lyrics cover topics such as having fun, love, lust, envy, flirting, loneliness, and fashion. Furthermore, some reviewers said the album's sound and production were similar to Tension and her fifteenth album, Disco (2020). Before its release, "My Oh My" featuring Bebe Rexha and Tove Lo, as well as three other collaborative singles were released: "Dance Alone" with Sia, "Midnight Ride" with Orville Peck and Diplo, and "Edge of Saturday Night" with The Blessed Madonna.

Tension II received praise from most music critics. Reviewers praised its danceable nature and Minogue's attitude throughout the record, with some claiming it was superior to Tension and one of her best offerings. Few were ambivalent about the collaborative efforts and the album's lack of catchy material. "Lights Camera Action" is the album's lead single, released on 27 September 2024. The Tension Tour, promoting both records, began in Perth in February 2025 and travelled through Australia, Asia, Europe, North America, and the United Kingdom, with additional appearances in South America.
