<\/p>\nMadonna will release her new album Confessions ll on 3 July and it marks a return to the dancefloor for the veteran singer.<\/p>\n
The new album is described as a “continuation of the iconic counterpart Confessions on a Dance Floor” and Madonna has released a first taste of album track I Feel Free with a visual teaser.<\/p>\n
\n
Speaking about the new album, she quoted a line from new song, One Step Away: “People think that dance music is superficial, but they’ve got it all wrong. The dance floor is not just a place, it\u2019s a threshold: A ritualistic space where movement replaces language.”<\/p>\n
She added: “When Stuart Price and I first started working on this record, this was our manifesto: We must dance, celebrate, and pray with our bodies.<\/p>\n
“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\u2019s a place where you connect – with your wounds, with your fragility.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“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\u2019t just hear it but we feel it. Altering our consciousness and dissolving ego and time.”<\/p>\n
Madonna – known for chart-topping hits including Like A Prayer and Vogue – updated her Instagram account on Tuesday and updated her bio to read “Time goes by so slowly\u2026”, a lyric from Hung Up, the lead single from her 2005 album Confession on the Dance Floor.<\/p>\n
Madonna first hinted to her new album in December 2024 with a video of herself in the studio with Confessions producer, Stuart Price.<\/p>\n
Last year, she confirmed that she had returned to her original label, Warner Records, the label who released all of her studio albums from 1983\u2019s self-titled debut to 2008\u2019s Hard Candy.<\/p>\n
Her last album, Madame X, was released in 2019. She has also released two remix compilations – Finally Enough Love and Veronica Electronica.<\/p>\n
She has also collaborated with Beyonc\u00e9, Fireboy DML, and Sam Smith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Madonna will release her new album Confessions ll on 3 July and it marks a return to the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":400313,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[93,61,60,278],"class_list":["post-400312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=400312"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400312\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/400313"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=400312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=400312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=400312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
