People on online pop forums tend to be horrible judges on what is or isn't a hit tbh.

But is it a hit? I don't think a Girls Aloud track would resonate broadly in 2023.

 

Popjustice members are obsessed with Girls Aloud, they'd probably compare anything to them. Especially because those descriptions sound like it's been compared to many different songs.

 

I'm definitely way more excited to hear it, and I already was a lot!

 

I havnt heard any of the songs yet but I am looking forward to hearing tge tension track as from anything I've read it seems to be positive and might stand a chance of giving her another hit.

Tension is soooooo good! She’s got another hit on her hands.

Your getting my hopes high ;)

I’ve literally heard a 10 second snippet and I’m avoiding listening to it all but the reaction is amazing that I’ve seen to it all over the place! :w00t:

Can you imagine if she manages another hit on the same level as padam padam, we definitely would be thinking we've been transported back to the 00s.

The US Target Exclusive has been announced - it’s the same sleeve as the HMV Exclusive however in the US it’s the deluxe version of the album - https://www.target.com/p/kylie-minogue-tens...889#lnk=sametab

 

The HMV version is the standard - https://hmv.com/store/music/cd/kylie-minogu...mp;gclsrc=aw.ds

 

I’ve got a friend to order it for me as Target don’t ship here

OK. Tension has finally clicked with me. It has so many hooks! Having said that, I don't hear the supposed GA similarity at all. It actually slightly reminds me of Ritual by Rita Ora.

 

All night, touch me right there, baby break the tension... :music:

Where can I hear TENSION?? I so badly want to hear it.

I am starting to feel like tha ttoo, i have held back so far but i am starting to feel that i want to hear it now!

Tension is soooooo good! She’s got another hit on her hands.

I finally CAVED IN and heard it.... and OH MY FAAK its serving fabulousness to the high freakin' heavens!

 

I don't even think I fell in love with PP this instantaneously.

 

Tension is honestly like this relentless club banger that's a mishmash of sorts, got so many hooks and clearly aimed at more than just Kylie's fans (aka - not the usual emotopop). The song is so amazing, so different from what I had imagined having heard that 10sec snippet. Beyond incredible! Last time I fell in love with a Kylie song on 1st listen was "get outta my way".

 

I just hope this also becomes a sizeable hit and gets sufficient radio airplay that it boosts the album's popularity/sales. Definite winner.

I will not be listening until it is released lol

 

i am still too invested in Padam Padam and getting it more success around the globe

You had me very excited until i got to the part where you said "Last time I fell in love with a Kylie song on 1st listen was "get outta my way".

At the time of the Aphrodite release get outta my way was really hyped and when i eventually first heard it I was disappointed by it as i didnt get the hype and still dont, for this reason (not just because of your post) i wont get my hopes too high until i hear it to avoid another disappointment.

Not heard tension yet. I’ve heard hold onto now and it’s a good song but like with padam, it’s not as strong as her recent stuff like magic, dancing or say something.

I caved in and heard the snippet of tension and from the short clip I heard I am excited, def huge potential and I agree with what others have said and think kylie has chance of another hit. I really hope its not another like a drug moment that screamed single but was never picked.

I hear ya! Not sure if the record label wants to release a single centred around K wanting to masturbate lol

Aah yes GOMW did polarise fans somewhat!! Tension kind of seemed like a clone of several current pop songs but has that Kylie signature as well.

 

Overall if these 2 songs are anything to go by, looks like the theme is generic club bangers but with the “Kylie sound”.

 

Agree that SS is one of her strongest songs to date

A friend sent me Tension (song) and I'm like... do I listen now? Do I wait?
