Earlier this month, the Queen of Pop announced that her new album \u2018Confessions II\u2019 will be released on July 3<\/a>, the sequel to her seminal 2005 record \u2018Confessions\u00a0On\u00a0A\u00a0Dance Floor\u2019 and\u00a0the album she has been teasing since early last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s since officially shared her new single \u2018I Feel So Free\u2019 on major streaming platforms<\/a>, after the song was given its debut on LGBTQ+ radio station Pride Radio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, she\u2019s unveiled her collaboration with Grindr \u2013 the social networking app for gay, bi, trans, and queer people. It comes following decades of allyship with LGBTQ+ people from Madonna, with the star famously having a large fanbase in the community.<\/p>\n

As one of the \u201cfew brand partners hand-selected by the OG Mother,\u201d a press release announces, Madonna is \u201ctaking over\u201d the app to bring \u201ccommunity into her world \u2014 just in time for Pride season.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Grindr users, it means that their profile grid will now always contain one square devoted to Madonna. When they click on the square, a message from the pop icon herself pops up.<\/p>\n

\u201cHi Grindr. It\u2019s Motha. I made an exclusive vinyl of my new album just for you. I could have dropped it anywhere but I wanted to go where the hottest action was, so I got on the grid. Are you ready for Confessions II?\u201d<\/p>\n

The in-app experience features exclusive content, location-aware moments that appear in the Global Gayborhood and limited-edition product drops \u2014 one of which is an exclusive picture disc of \u2018Confessions II\u2019, handpicked by Madonna, available only for Grindr users.<\/p>\n

Grindr has teased that it is \u201cjust getting started\u201d with the artist takeover, which will extend to further offerings on the app and in the brand\u2019s socials.<\/p>\n

Since announcing \u2018Confessions II\u2019, Madonna also made a surprise appearance during Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s headline set at weekend two<\/a> of the California festival last Friday (April 17).<\/p>\n

Shortly afterwards, she told fans that the clothing items she wore on stage had gone missing<\/a>, and she is now offering a reward for their safe return.<\/p>\n

Madonna reunited with\u00a0Stuart Price<\/a> (the producer of the original album) for \u2018Confessions II\u2019, which will come in two variations: a standard issue featuring 12 tracks, and a deluxe version containing four bonus songs.<\/p>\n

She has explained that the new LP \u2013 the follow-up to 2019\u2019s\u00a0\u2018Madame X\u2019<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 is best summed up in the opening lines of the track \u2018One Step Away\u2019: \u201cPeople think that dance music is superficial, but they\u2019ve got it all wrong. The dance floor is not just a place, it\u2019s a threshold: A ritualistic space where movement replaces language.\u201d<\/p>\n

Madonna had\u00a0revealed she\u2019d been working with Price again back in December 2024<\/a>, and\u00a0then teased \u2018Confessions II\u2019 throughout 2025<\/a>\u00a0and into this year. Last autumn,\u00a0she confirmed that she had re-signed with Warner Records<\/a>, and said she was \u201clooking forward to the future, making music\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Queen Of Pop last played a run of live shows as part of her acclaimed \u2018Celebration Tour\u2019<\/a>\u00a0in 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Madonna has teamed up with Grindr for an exclusive vinyl of \u2018Confessions II\u2019.
