The follow-up to 2005&rsquo;s genre-defining Confessions on a Dance Floor arrives July 3rd via Warner Records after teasing the follow-up for over a year. Yesterday, she cleared her Instagram and changed her bio to read &ldquo;Time goes by so slowly&hellip;&rdquo;, a lyric from lead single, "Hung Up". This morning, she officially announced a release date.
Madonna made the announcement alongside the album&rsquo;s cover, which features her atop purple speakers in matching lingerie, with pink fabric covering her face. She also shared a trancelike visual teaser offering the first taste of what&rsquo;s coming, featuring a snippet of her new song titled &ldquo;I Feel So Free.&rdquo;

The Confessions follow-up will be Madonna’s first album since 2019’s Madame X,&nbsp;and a reunion with DJ Stuart Price, whose creative relationship with Madonna spans more than two decades. Price first teamed up with the pop singer&nbsp;as musical director of her Re-Invention Tour before producing&nbsp;the original Confessions on a Dance Floor. &nbsp;He has remained a recurring collaborator on her projects and live performances in the years since.
Confessions on a Dance Floor, is one of the most successful releases of Madonna’s career, which shaped the sounds of the 70’s disco, 80’s house, and broader club culture. The album went on to win a Grammy for best electronic/dance album.
Last November, she revisited her breakout era with a 20th anniversary edition of Confessions on a Dance Floor, where she hinted at a continuation which we now know of as ‘Confessions II’.
“I Feel Free”, which was released on April 17, reached No.1 on Billboard’s radio chart. The track entered the UK Singles Chart at No. 90, which holds a long-time five-decade streak for charting single hits.&nbsp;
Since then, her return to performance following the finale of The Celebration Tour in May 2024 has unfolded with theatrical precision that included a surprise appearance at Coachella alongside Sabrina Carpenter, where they reprised "Vogue” and "Like a Prayer" and debuted their new song “Bring Your Love.”

At NYC Pride, a 15-minute surprise performance and collaboration with Grindr in Times Square drew a large audience the day before her next surprise at the 25th Tribeca Film Festival, where she expanded the project’s world through film.

Directed by fashion-forward visual artists Solomon Chase and David Toro (TORSO), the 13-minute piece premiered June 5 at the Beacon Theatre and was followed by a roundtable discussion with Jimmy Fallon.&nbsp;
The musical film spotlights the first half of the upcoming album and appropriately includes a mix of notable cultural icons, including Kate Moss, Shygirl, DJ Honey Dijon, Lourdes Leon, Benedict Cumberbatch, and collaborator Sabrina Carpenter. The project mirrored Madonna’s long-standing relationship with art, fashion, and nightlife.
On May 18, MadonnaHQ released a 16-song tracklist on Spotify:
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1">I Feel So Free</li>
<li class="li1">Good for the Soul</li>
<li class="li1">One Step Away</li>
<li class="li1">Bring Your Love</li>
<li class="li1">Danceteria</li>
<li class="li1">Read My Lips</li>
<li class="li1">Everything</li>
<li class="li1">Love Sensation</li>
<li class="li1">Love Without Words</li>
<li class="li1">Bizarre</li>
<li class="li1">School</li>
<li class="li1">Fragile</li>
<li class="li1">My Sins Are My Savior</li>
<li class="li1">Betrayal</li>
<li class="li1">The Test</li>
<li class="li1">L.E.S. Girl</li>
</ul>
“Danceteria” stands out as an intentional nod to Madonna’s early New York days. The track shares a name with the downtown club she frequented before her fame. She performed her first single, “Everybody,” for 300 people on Dec. 16, 1982, which eventually led to her signing with Sire Records later that year.&nbsp;
In 1993, she was an “L.E.S Girl” in an apartment on 232 East 4th Street between Avenue A and B on the Lower East Side of New York City.

Together, these pieces etch out contours of a new chapter that already honor the Confessions legacy and the icon’s past, while expanding the universe by including longtime collaborators, friends, and newer talents who reflect and mimic Madonna’s longtime command of pop culture’s center of gravity.&nbsp;
Confessions on a Dance Floor: Part II arrives July 3 on all streaming platforms.&nbsp;
