Kylie Minogue debuts music video for hypnotic new single ‘Lights Camera Action’

Kylie Minogue is back and she’s serving up another instant queer club classic.

Today (27 September), the singer and gay icon shared her latest single ‘Lights Camera Action’, the first track to be taken from her recently announced new album Tension II.

The track, which was produced by Lewis Thompson (Becky Hill/MNEK), was co-written by Kylie, Thompson and Ina Wroldsen, who also co-wrote Kylie’s viral smash ‘Padam Padam‘.

Filled with raving synths and hard strutting beats, ‘Lights Camera Action’ sees Kylie continue her command over the club as dons her shades and hits the dance floor.

“Tune it in, tune it out, all I want is the noise/Turn it up, turn it loud till you ain’t got a choice,” she sings on the chorus. “We’re turning sinful tonight, it’s about to go off/Tell me, can you feel it?”

For the music video, Kylie flexes her acting chops, adopting different roles from photographer to film star. Directed by Sophie Muller, the video was shot in Budapest and captures the high energy spirit of the song. Watch the clip below:

‘Lights Camera Action’ offers up the first taste of Tension II, the follow up to 2023’s number one album Tension.
