Madonna<\/a> has seemingly responded to Charli XCX<\/a>\u2018s \u201cdancefloor is dead\u201d comments.<\/p>\n

Charli\u2019s recent single \u2018Rock Music\u2019 has gone viral for its bold declaration: \u201cI think the dancefloor is dead, so now we\u2019re making rock music\u201d.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Brat\u2019 singer also previewed the lyric in an\u00a0interview with\u00a0<\/a>British Vogue<\/a>,\u00a0where she elaborated: \u201cIt\u2019s fun to flip the form. We know there\u2019s gonna be people who are bothered by it, but that\u2019s fine\u201d.<\/p>\n

Now, Madonna has seemingly responded to Charli XCX\u2019s comments on social media. The pop legend is currently gearing up to release the long-anticipated sequel<\/a> to 2005\u2019s \u2019Confessions On A Dance Floor\u2019 with \u2018Confessions II\u2019.<\/p>\n

On an Instragram post, Madonna captioned a series of photos: \u201cIf your Dance floor feels dead \/ Maybe you\u2019re playing the wrong music\u201d.<\/p>\n

Charli XCX is currently preparing to release her second single \u2018SS26\u2019 later today (May 21).<\/p>\n

She has responded to reactions to her pivot to \u201crock music\u201d<\/a>, calling the consensus \u201creally interesting\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy friends and I have been discussing how, in ways, it reminds us of the initial discourse around pc music, how the label was deemed as almost critiquing or looking down on pop music or something,\u201d she said, adding that she also felt a similar way when she dropped her third EP, \u2018Vroom Vroom<\/a>\u2019, in 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all kind of fascinating. I love talking about music and art with my friends, so I\u2019m happy people are throwing out thoughts,\u201d she continued. \u201cI\u2019m not gonna explain where I was coming from with \u2018Rock Music\u2019, but all I know is that things can be funny, earnest, sincere, and joyful all at the same time and that\u2019s what I feel about a lot of the things I make.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyways, just was thinking about things and thought I\u2019d put them on the internet, will probably regret it,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Madonna\u2019s new album is set to drop on July 3. She has reunited with the producer of the original album, Stuart Price<\/a>, whom she already\u00a0revealed she had been working with back in December 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Stuart Price and I first started working on this record, this was our manifesto: We must dance, celebrate, and pray with our bodies,\u201d Madonna explained. \u201cThese are things that we\u2019ve been doing for thousands of years \u2014 they really are spiritual practices. After all, the dance floor is a ritualistic space. It\u2019s a place where you connect \u2014with your wounds, with your fragility.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo rave is an art. It\u2019s about pushing your limits and connecting to a community of like-minded people,\u201d she added. \u201cSound, 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Confessions II\u2019 will be Madonna\u2019s first record since her 14th album \u2018Madame X<\/a>\u2019, which arrived in 2019.<\/p>\n

So far, she has released the singles \u2018I Feel So Free<\/a>\u2018, and her Sabrina Carpenter collaboration \u2018Bring Your Love<\/a>\u2018. Madonna had previously appeared with the \u2018Espresso\u2019 singer during her Coachella headline set.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Kylie Minogue has responded to rumours of a Madonna collaboration on \u2018Confessions II\u2019.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Madonna has seemingly responded to Charli XCX\u2018s \u201cdancefloor is dead\u201d comments.
