On Tuesday, Madonna wiped her Instagram account, teased lyrics from “Hung Up,” and updated her website to have the phrase “Confessions II” flash across the screen
Time has gone by so slowly since Madonna released her 10th studio album, Confessions on a Dance Floor in 2005. But the reigning queen of pop music gave the surest confirmation yet that a sequel is on the way.
On Tuesday, Madonna wiped her Instagram account, teased lyrics from the original album’s lead single “Hung Up,” and updated her website to have the phrase “Confessions II” flash across the screen.
Though no release date or further information was given, Madonna has been teasing the project since December 2024. (Rolling Stone previously reported that a dance album was expected some time this year.)
Over the past year, Madonna has confirmed that she’s been back in the studio with Stuart Price, the producer behind the original Grammy-winning album. And in September, Madonna re-signed with Warner Records, where she got her start in 1982, under the label Sire Records.
“I’m putting my heart and soul into my new music and I can’t wait to share it with you,” she shared with fans last February.
The Confessions follow-up will be Madonna’s first album since 2019’s Madame X. A representative for Madonna did not immediately return Rolling Stone’s request for comment.
