By reuniting with producer Stuart Price, Madonna opens a new chapter in the revolutionary universe created in “Confessions on a Dance Floor”, a GRAMMY®-winning 2005 album. Throughout the 16 continuously mixed tracks that make up “Confessions II”, the artist delves into themes such as love, trauma, loss and healing. The work reaffirms his conviction that electronic music goes far beyond entertainment: the dance floor is a space of refuge, connection, freedom and survival — a place capable of saving those who surrender to it. In the spring of the northern hemisphere, Madonna previewed the single “I Feel So Free”, which reached number one on the Billboard Dance Airplay chart. She also debuted “Bring Your Love”, a partnership with Sabrina Carpenter, during her performance at Coachella, celebrating 20 years since her debut at the festival. The track reached the top of the UK Club Chart.

The album features the participation of her daughter, Lola Leon, in the emotional “The Test”, composed by the two and marked by deeply personal verses that reflect the healing process and the evolution of the relationship between mother and daughter. Madonna also joins forces for the first time with Dutch DJ and producer Martin Garrix on “Bizzare”, a track that explores the complexities of love. Belgian artist Stromae gives his unmistakable style to the seductive “My Sins Are My Savior”. Andrew Watt and Cirkut also produce, alongside Stuart Price, "Danceteria" and "L.E.S. Girl", songs that revisit Madonna's early years in New York, paying homage to the legendary club, the friendships that marked her trajectory and the unique life that only she could portray.

"People think electronic music is superficial, but they're completely wrong. The dance floor isn't just a place — it's a portal. A ritualistic space, where movement replaces language" - Madonna

Recently, it was announced that Madonna will be one of the headliners at the first halftime show in the history of the FIFA World Cup 26™ Final, which takes place on July 19 at the New York New Jersey Stadium. With an estimated global audience of more than 1.5 billion viewers, the presentation promises to mark one of the most important cultural moments of the event. The track “Read My Lips”, from “Confessions II”, featuring Colombian singer Feid, became one of the tournament's anthems.

Last month, Madonna presented “Confessions II – The Film” during the 25th edition of the Tribeca Film Festival. Directed by TORSO, the film offers an immersive cinematic experience that brings the album's first six tracks to life through a bold visual narrative that breaks down the boundaries between music, film and performance. The production was enthusiastically received by specialized critics.

The night before, Madonna surprised the audience with an unforgettable performance in Times Square, New York. Announced just 30 minutes before the start, the show brought together around 50 thousand people, who listened live for the first time to songs from “Confessions II”, as well as hits from “Confessions on a Dance Floor”. The event transformed the heart of Manhattan into a huge dance floor and was broadcast live, exclusively, on Grindr.
