Madonna has announced Confessions II, the sequel and companion album to her lauded 2005 effort Confessions on a Dance Floor.
The new project arrives on July 3rd via Warner Records, Madonna’s former label home. After releasing her last three albums via Interscope, she re-signed with Warner back in 2025. The new record will serve as Madonna’s 15th album and her first since 2019’s Madame X. She originally confirmed the existence of a companion album to Rolling Stone last year, who also noted that Madonna was seen working on new music with original Confessions producer Stuart Price in 2024.
Described as “a continuation” of Confessions on a Dance Floor, the new album will see Madonna returning to her and Price’s original “manifesto” around transcendence, community, and the dissolving of ego on the dance floor.
“We must dance, celebrate, and pray with our bodies,” Madonna shared in a statement. “These are things that we’ve been doing for thousands of years — they really are spiritual practices. After all, the dance floor is a ritualistic space. It’s a place where you connect —with your wounds, with your fragility. To rave is an art. It’s about pushing your limits and connecting to a community of like-minded people. Sound, light, and vibration. Reshape our perceptions. Pulling us into a trance-like state. The repetition of the bass, we don’t just hear it but we feel it. Altering our consciousness and dissolving ego and time.”
She’s also teased the first single from Confessions II, “I Feel So Free.” Set to be the project’s opening track, the teaser for “I Feel So Free” features Madonna delivering a spoken word passage about the album’s themes of transcendence and transformation over a lush club beat. Watch it below.
We named Confessions II one of the most anticipated albums of 2026. In other Madonna news, she also was announced to be playing herself in the forthcoming new season of The Studio, which will reportedly feature a storyline about Madonna’s shelved biopic.
