Kylie Minogue has set the music world abuzz once again with the surprise announcement of a forthcoming single, tantalizing her devoted fan base with a pre-save link letting them know new music is coming soon.
The tease, made during a live session, offers scant details about the track itself, yet manages to stoke considerable anticipation among her followers.
The unveiling comes on the heels of Minogue’s scheduled headline performance at BST Hyde Park 2024 in London on July 13, further cementing her status as a perennial favorite in the music industry. Her upcoming release follows the resounding success of “Padam Padam,” a Grammy-winning hit that marked her triumphant return to the top of the UK charts.
Collaborating once more with the producer Lostboy, who helmed “Padam Padam,” Minogue aims to recapture the magic that propelled her latest album, ‘Tension,’ into the spotlight. In a recent interview, Lostboy hinted at the new material’s infectious appeal, teasing fans with the prospect of more sonic delights on the horizon.
As of late, the singer told Billboard magazine: “I told someone at my label: It’s happening now. There’s no snoozing.
“I am wildly inspired right now. I’m at a point in my life where I know it’s not eternal. I just want to maximize this brilliant wave.
She also went on to add, “If you’re not out paddling for when that wave comes along, you’ve got no hope.”

Beyond her musical endeavors, Minogue is expanding her creative footprint with plans for a deluxe edition of ‘Tension,’ featuring additional tracks, as well as work on her next studio album. Sources close to the artist suggest a renewed focus on dance music for her upcoming projects, signaling a vibrant new chapter in her storied career.
Reflecting on her recent accolades and resurgence in popularity, particularly in the United States, Minogue expressed gratitude for the enduring support of her fans. With her Las Vegas residency and Grammy win for Best Pop Dance Recording, she sees this period as a validation of her longevity in the industry, driven by a newfound creative vigor.
During the COVID-19 lockdown, Minogue took the opportunity to hone her production skills, describing the experience as liberating and transformative. Embracing greater control over her music-making process, she emphasized the personal growth that accompanies such artistic independence.
The 55-year-old singer has seen her music’s popularity fluctuate over the years and following the huge global success of her most recent album ‘Tension’ and its lead single ‘Padam Padam’, she knows she needs to embrace all the opportunities that come her way or she has “no hope”.
Looking ahead, Minogue remains steadfast in her commitment to pushing creative boundaries and exploring new musical avenues. With plans for multiple album releases in the pipeline, including a reinvigorated ‘Tension’ and a future dance-centric project, she shows no signs of slowing down.
