At eight-tracks long, the EP include early demos, alternate versions, and rarities that \u201ctrace the evolution of \u2018Bedtime Stories\u2019 R&B-influenced sound,\u201d according to a statement.<\/p>\n

It was first announced back in February that Madonna was planning to re-release \u2018Bedtime Stories\u2019 in time for its anniversary.\u00a0<\/a>The Queen of Pop took to social media earlier in the year to reveal the news, and shared a trailer to accompany the re-release.<\/p>\n

Last month, Madonna also announced her return to Warner Records with a new dance album, \u2018Confessions On A Dance Floor Part 2\u2019, scheduled for 2026. <\/a>It comes almost two decades after the pop icon departed the label, with which she was signed for the first 25 years of her career.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom being a struggling artist in New York City to signing a record deal to release just three singles, it seemed at the time my world would never be the same again and in fact that couldn\u2019t have been truer,\u201d she said of her return.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the beginning Warner Records has been a real partner with me,\u201d Madonna continued. \u201cI am happy to be reunited and look forward to the future, making music, doing the unexpected while perhaps provoking a few needed conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Madonna first teased a part two to the seminal dance album back in February<\/a>, telling followers: \u201cMy Valentine\u2019s Day gift to all my fans is to let you know I\u2019m putting my heart and soul into my new music and I can\u2019t wait to share it with you!! \ud83e\udd0d. Confessions Part 2.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new album will see her reunite with the producer of the original \u2018Confessions on a Dancefloor\u2019, Stuart Price, whom she already revealed she had been working with back in December<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s been working with the hit producer for over two decades now, with him most widely recognised for his contributions to the hit 2005 album. Since then, he has gone on to work with her on three of her tours, and recently reconnected with her last year as part of her acclaimed \u2018Celebration\u2019 shows<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tom Carson and Aaron Bay-Schuck, co-chairmen of Warner Records, said that they\u2019re \u201chonoured\u201d to welcome Madonna \u201cback home\u201d to the label. \u201cThis 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,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

It will mark her first LP since 2019\u2019s \u2018Madame X<\/a>\u2018, which was her 14th studio record.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Madonna has announced the release of a special \u2018Bedtime Stories\u2019 30th anniversary EP with early demos and rarities.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":65677,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[146,85,46,409,875],"class_list":["post-65676","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-music","tag-pop"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65676","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65676"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65676\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65677"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
