Madonna has returned to where it began and has re-signed with Warner Records to release her new dance album, set for release in 2026 — marking Madonna’s first studio album since 2019’s Madame X.
The upcoming ‘Confessions Of A Dance Floor Part 2’ reunites Madonna with producer, songwriter, and DJ Stuart Price, her primary collaborator on her 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor.
A social media post read: “Almost 2 decades later – And it Feels like home with Warner Records!
Back to music,
Back to the Dance Floor
Back to where it all began!
COADF- P. 2 
2026”
Madonna added in a statement: “From being a struggling artist in New York City to signing a record deal to release just three singles it seemed at the time my world would never be the same again and in fact that couldn’t have been truer. Since the beginning Warner Records has been a real partner with me. I am happy to be reunited and look forward to the future, making music, doing the unexpected while perhaps provoking a few needed conversations.”
Tom Carson and Aaron Bay-Schuck, co-chairmen of Warner Records, said in a statement: “Madonna isn’t just an artist—she’s the blueprint, the rule-breaker, the ultimate cultural juggernaut. For decades, she has not only defined the sound of global pop music but also reshaped culture itself with her vision, innovation, and fearless artistry. This signing represents a historic, full circle moment, one that brings her back to the label where it all began and reaffirms her unparalleled influence, setting the stage for an exciting new era of creativity and impact.”
Madonna’s last album with Warner Records was 2008’s Hard Candy; she spent the first 25 years of her career at Warner after signing with its subsidiary, Sire Records, in 1982.
