Kylie Minogue is back, and she’s turning up the heat with her brand-new single, “Lights Camera Action,” released today (Sept. 27).
The track is the first single from her highly anticipated upcoming album Tension II, out Oct. 18, via Mushroom Music.
“Lights Camera Action” sees the Australian pop legend dive deeper into the electronic world, continuing the nightclub-inspired sound that made her last album Tension a global hit.
Produced by Lewis Thompson and co-written by Kylie, Thompson, and Ina Wroldsen (the co-writer behind her previous hit, “Padam Padam“), the single is packed with high-energy beats fit for the dance floor.
The track serves as a celebration of all things glamorous, with the accompanying music video—directed by Sophie Muller and shot in Budapest—seeing the pop queen take on multiple iconic roles, from a film star to a photographer. Fans don’t have to wait long to catch the full visual spectacle, with the video set to premiere at 6 AM PT.
Kylie’s upcoming album, Tension II, is shaping up to be a powerhouse sequel to her previous album, with collaborations featuring The Blessed Madonna, Orville Peck, Bebe Rexha, Tove Lo, and Sia.
The release of “Lights Camera Action” sets the stage for the superstar’s next chapter, with the Tension Tour kicking off in her homeland of Australia in February 2025. The tour is poised to be Kylie’s biggest since 2011’s Aphrodite: Les Folies Tour, with tickets going on sale Oct. 2.
This year has already been massive for the icon, who nabbed the Global Icon Award at the BRITs and won a Grammy for Best Pop Dance Recording for “Padam Padam.” She also wrapped up her Las Vegas residency and headlined London’s BST Hyde Park to rave reviews.
