Madonna Announces New Music for 2025, Reunites with Stuart Price
Madonna is making her highly anticipated return to the studio, announcing that she has reunited with her Confessions on a Dance Floor collaborator Stuart Price to create new music slated for release in 2025. This marks a significant moment for the pop icon, as fans eagerly await her next creative chapter after years of touring, recording collaborations, and overcoming personal challenges.
In an Instagram post, Madonna shared a glimpse of her creative process, revealing candid moments of songwriting, recording vocals, and working alongside Price. Accompanied by the video, she wrote: “Working on new music with Stuart Price. These past few months has been medicine for my SOUL. 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?”
The announcement has sparked excitement, particularly because Confessions on a Dance Floor—her 2005 collaboration with Price—remains one of her most celebrated albums. Known for its seamless blend of disco, electronic, and dance elements, the record delivered hits like “Hung Up,” “Sorry,” and “Get Together.” It earned Madonna the Grammy Award for Best Electronic/Dance Album in 2007 and cemented her position as an enduring force in pop music.
Madonna’s last studio album, Madame X (2019), showcased her experimental approach, but her recent years have been equally eventful. Following a significant health scare, she launched the Celebration Tour in 2023, a retrospective that highlighted her unparalleled four-decade career. Additionally, she released Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones in 2022, a remix compilation featuring her chart-topping tracks from Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart.
The pop legend has also been exploring collaborations in the interim, including the track “Popular” with The Weeknd and Playboy Carti for HBO’s The Idol and “Vulgar” alongside Sam Smith. Despite her creative output, Madonna has been candid about frustrations in other areas of her career, specifically her long-gestating biopic. The project, initially starring Julia Garner, faced hurdles, with Madonna voicing concerns over external pressures to scale back her vision. Reflecting on the experience, she expressed her determination to take ownership of her story, stating: “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’s reunion with Stuart Price signals a return to her dance music roots, a genre that has always served as a cornerstone of her artistry. Known for his ability to create electrifying, contemporary sounds, Price’s involvement heightens anticipation for what the pair will deliver next.
As Madonna looks toward 2025 with new music on the horizon, her resilience and passion remain unmistakable. After decades of shaping the music industry, the Queen of Pop continues to prove her artistry knows no bounds.
