Madonna announced her first studio album in seven years is coming.

She posed in a plunging pale pink sheer lace dress for the announcement.

The album will be a follow-up to her 2005 dance album Confessions on a Dance Floor.

Time goes by so slowly… but we are so back. After two decades, Madonna is back in her dance era. In a new Instagram post, the singer made the surprise announcement that she will be releasing a follow-up to her iconic 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor. The Y2K nostalgia is real. Naturally, the singer rocked an epic look for her epic announcement.

Madonna’s lace birthday look

Posing in a series of photos to mark her return to dance music, Madonna wore a plunging pale pink lace dress. The ethereal, boudoir-inspired dress featured a corseted waist with delicate buttons along with a flowing tulle skirt and matching sleeves. She wore the delicate dress with off-white lace net gloves, nude fishnets, and sparkly gold heels. She layered a series of cross pendant necklaces around her neck along with a range of mismatched bangles and bracelets. She wore her hair tossed to one side in blonde curls and finished off the look with a smokey eye and a pink lip.

The look is a natural successor to her iconic 67th birthday look from last month that saw her rocking a pink lace corset with no pants.

“Almost 2 decades later – And it Feels like home with Warner Records!,” she wrote in the caption, announcing her return to the music label after almost 20 years. She went on, “Back to music, / Back to the Dance Floor / Back to where it all began! / COADF- P. 2 🪩 2026.”

Madonna’s last studio album, Madame X, was released in 2019. As a follow-up to Confessions from the Dance Floor, her next album will undoubtedly see Madonna returning to classic dance music and offering up a few certified club bangers.

As Madonna told Attitude twenty years ago, she didn’t set out to write a dance album—it was simply what she found herself drawn to. “I did some other songs that were slower but I thought eurgh, I’m not in the mood for a ballad, I can’t be bothered,” she said. “I wanna dance.”

Apparently, she’s ready to dance again. And time will certainly go by so slowly until the album drops next year.
