Madonna teases new music for 2025 with “Confessions on a Dance Floor” collaborator Stuart Price
The Queen of Pop is ready to reclaim her throne.
Time goes by so slowly. It's been nearly 20 years since Madonna dropped her last truly great album, Confessions on a Dance Floor, and just in time, she's reteamed with her collaborator on that disco barn burner, Stuart Price, for new music slated for 2025.
Madge teased her return to the dance floor in an Instagram post in which she can be seen writing, singing, and working with Price.
"Working on new music with Stuart Price. These past few months has been medicine for my SOUL," the 66-year-old music legend wrote in the caption accompanying her video. "Songwriting and making music is the one area where I don’t need to ask anyone for their permission. I’m so excited to share it with you. Who wants to hear new music in 2025?"
Madonna's last studio album was 2019's Madame X, though she's hardly been laying low in the intervening years. After surviving a serious health scare, she hit the road for the epic Celebration Tour in 2023, a musical retrospective spanning her 40-year career. She also released the remix compilation album, Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones, in 2022, containing all her No. 1 songs from Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart.
Last year, Madonna also recorded lowkey bop "Popular" with The Weeknd and Playboy Carti for the ill-fated HBO series The Idol and a duet with Sam Smith, "Vulgar."
Still, news of the Material Icon reteaming with Price will surely get fans' pulses racing. Consistently ranked among her best albums, Confessions was a blockbuster that spawned the hits "Hung Up," "Sorry," "Get Together," and "Jump." It also nabbed Madonna a Best Electronic/Dance Album Grammy in 2007.

Madonna announced her return to music after recently voicing complaints over trying to get her long-gestating biopic made. She cited producers and agents telling her she couldn't make the film she wanted, forcing her to "downsize" her vision, and then offered an alternative idea.
"We cannot shrink and make ourselves smaller. If you want something badly enough in life— the whole universe will conspire to [help] you get it," Madonna said, adding, "Should I make the story of my life into a series or a feature film?"
