Madonna is returning to the dance floor.
The pop icon has revealed that her new album, “Confessions on a Dance Floor: Part II” — a follow-up to her critically acclaimed 2005 dance record — will release on July 3. It marks her reunion with DJ Stuart Price, who produced the original “Confessions on a Dance Floor.”
She made the announcement via social media on Wednesday alongside the album’s cover, which features her perched on top of speakers in purple lingerie with pink fabric covering her face.
In a press release, Madonna shared she and Price’s “manifesto” while making the album: “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.”
