NewsMadonna / Confessions II
Madonna back on the dance floor
Madonna’s new studio album will be Confessions ll a follow-up to Confessions on a Dance Floor, which was released in late 2005.
Like its predecessor, this record is produced by Stuart Price and Madonna says “When Stuart Price and I first started working on this record, this was our manifesto”:
We must dance, celebrate, and pray with our bodies. 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.
Quite. There’s a teaser trailer, which you can checkout below.
In terms of formats, the album will be available on single CD and single red vinyl editions which feature 12 tracks and are “non-stop mix” editions (which presumably means the tracks all segue). The CDs here are in a jewel case and the vinyl comes with a double-sided poster.
Then there are 16 track 2LP on pink vinyl and ‘softpack’ CDs which both feature 4 bonus tracks. It appears that these versions offer “12 individual songs” rather than the “non-stop mix” on the single discs. Certainly that’s how the spec reads to SDE at this point in time. The double vinyl includes a double-sided poster and an “exclusive numbered coat check” (which we think is a card ticket).
There is also a 16-track deluxe CD pocketed in a “unique 7 x 10.25 inch soft cover photo-book featuring exclusive images from the album’s photoshoot”. Additionally, a 16-track translucent pink cassette tape is being made available.
Most of the formats have different/alternate covers, making you wonder which, if any, is the ‘proper’ cover of the album. The main image on the post shows the cover of the 2LP and deluxe CD editions. Inevitably, there will be a plethora of coloured vinyl exclusives, most likely based on the single vinyl LP variant with the 12-track version of the album.
No tracklisting has yet been released and Confessions II will be released on 3 July via Warner Records. The pre-order links in the widgets below a very slow in coming through, but will update automatically.
