By the Numbers
Minogue writes on seven of the thirteen tracks, which leaves six with no credit from her at all, including both singles-adjacent openers “Taboo” and “Someone for Me” and the Sia collaboration “Dance Alone”, written by Sia Furler and Jesse Shatkin alone. That has been the pattern across her career: she has always been a co-writer rather than a sole author, and on the pop-machine records the outside teams do more. Ina Wroldsen is the most frequent name here after Minogue, on four tracks, none of which Minogue co-wrote except the opener.
Tension II is Kylie Minogue’s seventeenth studio album, released on October 18, 2024 through Darenote and BMG. A companion to Tension from the year before, its thirteen tracks run under 37 minutes and were cut across studios in London, Los Angeles and Sussex. The Blessed Madonna, Bebe Rexha, Tove Lo, Orville Peck, Diplo and Sia all appear.
