The 67-year-old singer posted the album cover on Instagram on Wednesday, which sees her sitting on a platform wearing a lacy lilac outfit, with a sheer pink cloth draped over her figure.<\/p>\n
She told her 20.3 million fans: \u201cConfessions On A Dance Floor: Part II \u2013 July 3 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

The song in the teaser is reminiscent of the dance music that Madonna has often visited throughout her career, which Confessions On A Dance Floor was renowned for.<\/p>\n
Over the pulsing, synthesised instrumental, Madonna says: \u201cThanks for coming. Sometimes, I like to just hide in the shadows, create a new persona, a different identity.<\/p>\n
\u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
Madonna\u2019s upcoming record marks her first studio album in almost seven years, since the release of Madame X in 2019.<\/p>\n
