At one point, it felt like every single pop diva around was releasing a new album (sometimes within just a few weeks of each other, making for some fierce chart battles) &#8211; and we loved every second of it. We&#8217;ve seen powerhouses like Taylor Swift, Kylie Minogue, SOPHIE, Charli XCX and Kacey Musgraves all drop new music, making us fear for the drought we are about to experience in 2025 (come through and save us Mother Monster). But in the meantime, let&#8217;s revisit some of the most iconic records released by the biggest LGBTQ+ icons and allies this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev-gaystarnewscouk.gmg-staging.link\/uploads\/2024\/12\/tempImagebtX9b2.jpg?height=576&#038;width=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2487\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tension-ii-by-kylie-minogue\"><em>Tension II <\/em>by Kylie Minogue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Is there a word stronger than mother? Kylie Minogue has been in the industry longer than most of our favs and she\u2019s yet to let the gays down. <em>Tension II <\/em>is an album many artists would spend a lifetime trying to make, but for Kylie, it\u2019s just another day at the office. The endless bops combined with her massive tour announcement had us all feral, and for that we say thank you, Kylie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev-gaystarnewscouk.gmg-staging.link\/uploads\/2024\/12\/tempImage729hAq-scaled.jpg?height=576&#038;width=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2492\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-crash-by-kehlani\"><em>Crash<\/em> by Kehlani<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kehlani\u2019s first album since <em>Blue Water Road<\/em> saw the star get more personal than ever, with airy guitar pop at the core of <em>Crash<\/em>.
