Kylie Minogue has unleashed her sixteenth studio album, ‘Tension.’
Led by the infectious ‘Padam Padam’ the album explores themes of love and individualism.
That Grape Juice has been spinning the LP since its release. Join us below to find out which five tracks are essential on ‘Tension.’
More details below…
5. Things We Do For Love
Steeped in euphoric synths, Kylie has the potential to have another hit on her hands should she chose to release ‘Things We Do For Love’ toward the end of ‘Tension’s album cycle.
**********
4. You Still Get Me High
Carly Rae Jepsen’s ‘Emotion’ is a seminal album in pop music, and Kylie comes close to recreating the magic here with ‘You Still Get Me High.’ Ripped straight from a John Hughes movie, ‘You Still Get Me High’ is a nostalgic pop banger.
**********
3. Tension
The album’s title track made the most sense as the project’s second single. It picks up where ‘Padam Padam’ left over and deliver’s its own take on pop brilliance.
**********
2. Hold On To Now
For the album’s third single, it makes the most sense to choose ‘Hold On To Now’ with its similarities to Robyn’s ‘Missing U.’ An energetic electropop tune, ‘Hold On To Now’ stands as one of Kylie’s best songs this decade.
**********
1. Padam Padam
What would a proper list be without this song at #1? ‘Padam Padam’ is a true comeback moment for a pop star that has nothing left to prove and showcases her true talents as a force to be reckoned with.

“10 Out Of 10” and “Hands” are more interesting than “You Still Get Me High” to me
Hi. So here are my top 5
1. Hold On To Now – amazing pop dance electro banger
2. Tension – sleek s*** dance trance hypnotic
3. Story – so so lovely and those only Kylie can deliver high notes are unparalleled
4. Padam Padam – pure dance pop sleek fun
5. Things We Do For Love – sweet s*** 80’s synth euphoria joy
Sassy b******
Good pick TGJ
My top 5 lists:
1. Padam Padam
2. Tension
3. 10 out of 10
4. Vegas High
5. Things We Do For Love
Hands, love train, Vegas high and story are highlighted! Only song I dislike is one more time
I’m sorry, but this album was okay. Not something I can listen through all the way like disco album.
I love Kylie. Have been a massive fan since 2002. I could listen to her since the ABC’s with a Dance beat. Tension is a great album, but definitely not her best. It will be hard to top Aphrodite and Disco for me.
My top 5 in order are:
Vegas High
Padam Padam
Tension
Love Train
One More Time
Im not really into the 80s synthpop tracks unfortunately.
I really like the song “Hands” on her CD. I thought it would be at least top 5. Just my opinion though.
My top five tracks are
Green Light
10 out of 10
Padam Padam
Hands
Tension
Even though she said there’s no theme, the rest of the album sounds like 80s synth-pop, which I’m not too crazy about. Those horns on Green Light are euphoric though!
1. Vegas High
2. Tension
3. Padam Padam
4. Hold on to Now
5. 10 of 10
1. Padam Padam
2. 10 out of 10
3. Tension
4. Vegas High
5. Hold on To Now
Great choices, but how could anyone overlook “Vegas High” as the perfect radio friendly track to promote her residency?!
It is rumored to be the third single or promotional single.
I’m hoping it’s the 3rd single 😃😃😃
