Kylie Releases Tension at Grammy Museum

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:00:46 GMT

Kylie Releases Tension at Grammy Museum: Australian pop icon Kylie Minogue has just released her 16th studio album, and Tension could well be her best yet.Sure, nostalgia-hounds will refer to her first three, under the Stock Aitkin Waterman hit factory umbrella, when she was regularly scoring number one singles in her native nation and the UK. Others will look to 2001’s Fever and the absolute international smash that was “Can’t Get You Out of My Head.”To be fair, Kylie has barely put a foot wrong this entire millennium. 2007’s X (not related to Twitter) should get more attention that it does, though 2020’s pandemic drop Disco was start to finish dance-pop perfection. Tension tops it.On Wednesday evening, in front of an enraptured crowd at the Grammy Museum, she told us all about how the album came to be. Sadly, there was no musical portion to the event as there so often is at this venue. But the moderated Q&A was still a lot of fun.(BMG)Before...

SAN FRANCISCO — The WNBA is coming to the Bay Area.That isn’t just a gift to women and women’s sports fans, but to everyone who loves basketball and high-level competition.And hopefully, it’s a gift to everyone who loves winning.Starting 14 years ago, Warriors CEO Joe Lacob built a new brand around the NBA’s most moribund franchise. Under Lacob and friends’ ownership, the Warriors were going to be winners, and they weren’t going to wait their turn or be apologetic about it.Lacob promised a title within five years when he bought the Dubs.Thursday, he made the same promise in announcing the WNBA’s 13th franchise — a team to be paid for, built, and run by the Warriors’ now-massive organization.I like where his head is at.I would love to be able to write about how meaningful it is to me to have a WNBA team in the Bay. I suppose I could provide some self-aggrandizing commentary telling you that I’m the husband of a wife and the father...
