Madonna says it’s a sequel to one of her early 2000s dance albums.
LOS ANGELES — Madonna is getting back to her roots by working with her original label nearly 20 years after leaving it.Â
The superstar announced Thursday she is releasing an album with Warner Records next year.Â
“Almost 2 decades later – And it Feels like home with Warner Records,” she wrote in a social media post. “Back to music, Back to the Dance Floor, Back to where it all began! COADF- P. 2 🪩 2026.”
Warner Records called her the “best-selling female artist of all time” in a press release and said her first studio album in seven years will release next year.Â
“Since the beginning, Warner Records has been a real partner with me. I am happy to be reunited and look forward to the future, making music, doing the unexpected while perhaps provoking a few needed conversations,” Madonna said in a press release.Â
Co-chairmen of Warner Records Tom Corson and Aaron Bay-Schuck say her work has defined pop music as it is today, but also has “reshaped culture itself.”Â
“Madonna isn’t just an artist — she’s the blueprint, the rule-breaker, the ultimate cultural juggernaut,” Tom Corson and Aaron Bay-Schuck, co-Chairmen of Warner Records, said in a press release. “This signing represents a historic, full circle moment, one that brings her back to the label where it all began and reaffirms her unparalleled influence, setting the stage for an exciting new era of creativity and impact.”
The album, which has no specific release date beyond next year, will be a “part two” to Madonna’s 2005 album “Confessions on a Dance Floor.”
The 2026 album will reunite Madonna with songwriter, producer and DJ Stuart Price, who has worked on songs alongside Dua Lipa, Halsey, The Killers and more.Â
