Madonna has released ‘Love Sensation’, the latest club-ready single from her new album – check it out below.
The Queen of Pop is preparing to release her 15th studio record ‘Confessions II’ on July 3, the spiritual follow-up to 2005’s ‘Confessions On A Dance Floor’. Pre-order/pre-save the album here.
So far, she has shared two tracks from it – ‘I Feel So Free’ and the Sabrina Carpenter collaboration ‘Bring Your Love’ – and now she has dropped ‘Love Sensation’, a track she gave a live debut during her impromptu show in New York’s Times Square last night (June 4).
The song was released onto streaming platforms shortly after the set, a pounding, house-inspired track that sees Madge singing: “Love’s the reason why/ It’s a drug that I can’t stop taking/ Baby let’s get high/ Tripping up to the sky/ I’m your love sensation, good vibration, love sensation.”
Watch the official visualiser here:
An estimated 50,000 fans showed up at Times Square for her performance last night, where she played all three of the singles so far, as well as a trio of tracks from the original ‘Confessions’ album, in the form of ‘Hung Up’, ‘Get Together’ and ‘I Love New York’. It was streamed live on the Grindr app and was held in celebration of Pride Month.
‘Confessions II’ will be Madonna’s first record since her 14th album ‘Madame X’, which arrived in 2019, and it sees her reuniting with ‘Confessions’ producer Stuart Price.
“When Stuart Price and I first started working on this record, this was our manifesto: We must dance, celebrate, and pray with our bodies,” Madonna explained.
“To rave is an art. It’s about pushing your limits and connecting to a community of like-minded people,” she added. “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.”
In the run up to the album release date, Kylie Minogue has responded to rumours of a Madonna collaboration on ‘Confessions II’, and Linda Perry has expressed her desire to produce for Madonna, describing her latest music as “weak” and “trying to compete with Charli XCX“.
Madonna has also been confirmed as one of the co-headliners for the first ever FIFA World Cup halftime show, alongside Shakira and BTS.
