Madonna Revives Disco Magic with 'Confessions II' Album

Madonna has announced the release of her 15th studio album, Confessions II: a sequel to Confessions on a Dance Floor, her disco-fabulous 2005 release regarded as one of the jewels of her discography. The album will be released on 3 July, and like its predecessor, it is a collaboration with the British producer Stuart Price.

In describing the concept behind the new album, Madonna shared their manifesto:

"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.

Confessions II is billed as a study of the dancefloor as 'a ritualistic space where movement replaces language,' reuniting Madonna with her long-time collaborator Stuart Price. The album promises to continue the disco-infused sound that made the original Confessions on a Dance Floor a critical and commercial success.
