\u201cMadonna has been through so much in the past few years. She almost died in 2023 after contracting sepsis and she lost her brother Christopher the following year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe album will be steeped in reflections of what she has endured and how she has overcome everything thrown in her path.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking with Stuart has been brilliant for Madonna, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cConfessions on a Dance Floor back in 2005 was one of her best records and he has injected some of that magic into their new sessions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The gap between Madame X and her new record will have been the longest one Madonna has left between records since the start of her career.<\/p>\n

Reports of the new album come after the Sun reported Madonna is set to reunite with Britney Spears on her new record.<\/p>\n

The newspaper said the singer, the world\u2019s biggest-selling female recording artist, tried to connect with the Toxic performer, 44, in December and January with hopes of a joint writing or studio session.<\/p>\n

A collaboration between the singers would mark 23 years since they landed a hit with Me Against The Music.<\/p>\n

A source close to Britney, who is now in rehab after her arrest in March for allegedly driving under the influence, said: \u201cMadonna believes Britney is not just a brilliant artist, but a lovely person. They had a great time in the past working together and had touched on working together again.<\/p>\n

\u201cMadonna felt that Britney could bring something to her new album or perhaps join for a writing idea.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe feels a connection to Britney and has been a vocal supporter of her, despite all the concern about her welfare in the last couple of years.<\/p>\n

\u201cMadonna is one of the few people on the planet to understand the stresses and troubles of being one of the most famous people in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cMadonna has been through so much in the past few years.
