Madonna Announces New Album Confessions II After 7 Years
Key Points
  • Madonna announces Confessions II, her first album in seven years
  • Album features collaboration with Stuart Price and return to Warner label
  • Social media and website teasers build anticipation for the release

The album, which major media reports indicate will be released on July 3, is a collaboration with British producer Stuart Price. Madonna is also returning to the Warner record label, which she was with for the first 25 years of her career, according to official sources. Madonna announced the news herself via social media with a picture of the rosy-pink shimmering album cover, official sources confirm.

Major media outlets report that she has wiped her Instagram feed clean, leaving only a blurred headshot as the profile picture and a lyric from her 2005 song 'Hung Up' in the biography. Different iterations of the album name 'Confessions on a Dance Floor II (COADF 2)' are flashing on Madonna's official website, and a promotional photo on the site shows her legs in fishnet tights and metallic silver boots with a speaker in between. Madonna has released a teaser of new music on YouTube featuring a deep house track with a soliloquy, according to major media reports.

We must dance, celebrate, and pray with our bodies. These are things that we've been doing for thousands of years — they really are spiritual practices. After all, the dance floor is a ritualistic space. It's a place where you connect with your wounds, with your fragility. To rave is an art. It's about pushing your limits and connecting to a community of like-minded people. Sound, light, and vibration reshape our perceptions, pulling us into a trance-like state. The repetition of the bass, we don't just hear it but we feel it. Altering our consciousness and dissolving ego and time.

Madonna, Singer

The album's announcement has generated significant buzz among fans and media, with many noting the strategic timing ahead of potential summer releases. Fans believe Madonna could be gearing up to release a collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter or join her on stage at Coachella, major media reports indicate. According to Daily Mail - Home, an insider described Madonna's efforts to enlist Britney Spears for the album, saying she reached out in December and January for a studio session, but Spears has so far refused to engage.

The full tracklist for Madonna's new album 'Confessions II' has not been revealed, and beyond Stuart Price, there are no confirmed collaborations on the album. It is also unclear whether Madonna will tour in support of the new album, and the specific date in July for the release remains unknown, with only the month confirmed. Sources vary on the exact title, using 'Confessions II', 'Confessions on a Dance Floor: Part II', and 'COADF 2' interchangeably.

People think that dance music is superficial, but they've got it all wrong. The dancefloor is not just a place, it's a threshold: A ritualistic space where movement replaces language.

Madonna, Singer

Thanks for coming. Sometimes, I like to just hide in the shadows, create a new persona, a different identity. I can be whoever I want to be, create a new persona. Honestly I wish I could be like other people and just not care, but out here on the dancefloor I feel so free.

Madonna, Singer

My Valentine's Day gift to all my fans is to let you know I'm putting my heart and soul into my new music and I can't wait to share it with you!

Madonna, Singer

Confessions Part 2. Just nobody tell Usher!

Madonna, Singer

Madonna believes Britney is not just a brilliant artist, but a lovely person. They had a great time in the past working together and had touched on working together again.
