Kylie Minogue review – house, techno … doom metal? This is a thrilling reinvention of a pop deity
Her Tension world tour reaches the UK, and it’s the work of a relaxed but inherently flamboyant singer with a bold new vision for her back catalogue
This relaxed mood continues as she moves to the B-stage, where she sings a cappella snippets of fan requests: early single Never Too Late, Nick Cave duet Where the Wild Roses Grow, even Spinning Around B-side Paper Dolls. A sweet acoustic sing-along of 2020 single Say Something harks back to its lockdown-era genesis (its parent album Disco was “finished in my kitchen” during the pandemic) kicking in to full party mode before we think too much of real-world worries, past or present.
