On her highly anticipated new release, Confessions On A Dance Floor, Madonna brilliantly re-invents dance music for our time. A stunning creative leap into the dazzling dimension of ‘future disco,’ a dozen new original songs simultaneously capture the spontaneous thrill of the iconic superstar’s early hits.
Confessions On A Dance Floor once again establishes Madonna's preeminent place on the international club scene. It’s a mesmerizing sound that evokes and embellishes all the excitement, energy and innovation that first set her apart as a dance music pioneer over two decades ago.
While Madonna's recent music has explored her thoughts and feelings on everything from spirituality to politics, Confessions On A Dance Floor is, in the artist's own words, “about having good time straight through and non-stop. I want people to jump out of their seats.”
Recorded earlier this year in London, Confessions On A Dance Floor was primarily co-produced and co-written by Madonna and Stuart Price. Also known as Les Rythmes Digitales and Jaques Le Cont, Price is one of the UK's most electrifying young DJ's and remix wizards, who initially forged a creative partnership with Madonna as her Musical Director on both the 2001 Drowned World and 2003’s Reinvention tours.
“This is music that just comes naturally to her,” explains Price, whose home studio served as the setting for the freewheeling writing and recording sessions. “The songs flowed very quickly. Madonna was interested in capturing the moment because, when all said and done, it's that instinctive joy of rhythm and movement that comes across best on the dance floor.”
Also collaborating on Madonna's first new release in over two years is Mirwais Ahmadzai and the Grammy-winning duo of Bloodshy and Avant, as well as Anders Bagge and Peer Astrom of the Murlyn Music Collective and Joe Henry whose previous Madonna credits includes “Don't Tell Me.”
Confessions On A Dance Floor selections include the above mentioned “Hung Up” which includes a sample of Abba’s classic “Gimme Gimme,” as well as dance themed cuts “Get Together,” “Sorry,” “Future Lovers,” “I Love New York,” “Let It Will Be,” “Forbidden Love,” “Jump,” “How High,” “Isaac,” “Push” and “Like It Or Not.” The entire CD is seamlessly segued in a classic dance club format.
