The Queen of Pop is inviting us back to the dance floor.
Seven years after the release of her 14th studio album, the Billboard 200 No. 1 Madame X, Madonna is finally dropping her highly anticipated 15th record, Confessions II. After teasing the album and sharing that she is working with her old collaborator Stuart Price, the pop megastar officially announced the new album on April 15.
Confessions II is a sequel to Madonna’s 2005 Billboard 200 No. 1 album Confessions on a Dance Floor. On top of being her first work in more than half a decade, the new record is also the singer’s first album since her return to Warner Records. The major label announced in September that Madonna would be coming back to where it all began after nearly two decades away. Warner Records became Madonna’s first label after she signed there in 1982. She remained with the label for the first 25 years of her career, during which she released 11 albums, including the original Confessions.
In a now-deleted Instagram post from September, the pop star celebrated her return to Warner Records and teased the new album, writing, “Almost 2 decades later — And it feels like home with Warner Records! Back to music, Back to the Dance Floor, Back to where it all began! COADF – Pt. 2 2026.”
“COADF – Pt. 2” is now officially on the horizon. On April 17, Madonna made a surprise appearance during Sabrina Carpenter’s Coachella weekend 2 headlining set to perform “Vogue,” “Like a Prayer” and an unreleased duet with the “Espresso” singer. Following the surprise performance, Madonna released the first song from Confessions II at midnight on April 18.
