Madonna has promised to “destroy” the dancefloor with her new album, Confessions of a Dancefloor II, which will be released this year on Warner.
Seven years since her last album, Madame X, the 67-year-old diva has made it clear that her new album is not about reliving past glories. Rather, it’s “designed to disrupt.. not just to dance”.
Having been outspoken about a huge range of issues throughout her career, from homophobia, AIDS-awareness and inequality to child welfare, sexuality and gender equality, one can only assume that Madonna will have Donald Trump and other so-called “disruptors” in her sights. Sources close to the project have confirmed that it will incorporate sharper, more confrontational themes.
The album sees Madonna reunioned with producer Stuart Price, widely known for his pivotal role in shaping the sound of the first Confessions of a Dancefloor album. Insiders are calling it a “spiritual sequel”. The collaboration promises that the new material will lean into pulsating electronic beats, although Madonna re-enters a changed music landscape with different dancefloor preferences, so we can expect more experimentation.
The English producer has also produced albums for the Pet Shop Boys, Kylie Minogue, Seal and Scissor Sisters, and is also known for his own acts including Zoot Woman, Les Rythmes Digitales, Paper Faces, Man with Guitar, Thin White Duke and Jacques Lu Cont.
While no release date is announced, Madonna’s take on a classic 1968 tune by Italy’s Patty Pravo, La Bambola arrived in January. It was recorded for a Dolce and Gabbana commercial but it will not be featured on the Confessions II album.
