Madonna - CONFESSIONS II

 

Madonna — Confessions II

Limited edition translucent pink colored 2LP

Sequel to her 2005 Grammy-winning chart-topping album Confessions on a Dance Floor

Confessions II reunites Grammy-winning multiplatinum-selling superstar Madonna with British producer Stuart Price and is billed as a study of the dance floor "as a ritualistic space where movement replaces language." The album is a sequel to her disco-fabulous Grammy-winning and chart-topping album Confessions on a Dance Floor.

Madonna said in a statement:

"When Stuart Price and I first started working on this record, this was our manifesto:

We must dance, celebrate, and pray with our bodies. These are things that we've been doing for thousands of years — they really are spiritual practices. After all, the dance floor is a ritualistic space. It's a place where you connect with your wounds, with your fragility. To rave is an art. It's about pushing your limits and connecting to a community of like-minded people.

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."

She also quoted from a new song, "One Step Away": "People think that dance music is superficial, but they've got it all wrong. The dance floor is not just a place, it's a threshold: A ritualistic space where movement replaces language."

She also released a teaser of new music on YouTube: a deep house track with Madonna uttering a soliloquy over the top: "Thanks for coming. Sometimes, I like to just hide in the shadows, create a new persona, a different identity. I can be whoever I want to be, create a new persona. Honestly I wish I could be like other people and just not care, but out here on the dancefloor I feel so free."

With its sleek and euphoric sound helmed by Price — also known for his projects Les Rythmes Digitales, Zoot Woman and Thin White Duke — Confessions on a Dance Floor restored Madonna to global mega-popularity after a slow-selling 2003 American Life. Lead single "Hung Up" went to No. 1 in 41 countries, including the U.K., where the follow-up single "Sorry" also topped the charts.
