Info for CONFESSIONS II

Madonna’s new album Confessions ll is the continuation of her 2005 release Confessions On A Dance Floor — and a reunion with that album’s producer Stuart Price.

Madonna sums up her new record best by quoting the first few lines of her 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.” (Music & Audio)

“When Stuart Price and I first started working on this record, this was our manifesto: We must dance, celebrate, and pray with our bodies," said Madonna. "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.”

The Queen of Pop, 67, has reunited with British producer Stuart Price, whom she worked with for "Confessions on a Dance Floor" in 2005 which was a global success driven by the hits "Sorry" and "Hung Up".

Many music critics from Rolling Stone, Variety to The Guardian newspaper agreed that the Confessions follow-up was her best work since then, following the lacklustre response from fans for her most recent releases "Rebel Heart" or "Madame X".

Rolling Stone called the latest release a "64-minute nonstop groove that flows like a club-DJ set, each song fading into the next, drawing from all over the history of dance music".

The Guardian said that even though it was "not quite as good as Confessions on a Dance Floor", it was unequivocally Madonna's best album since.

"Everyone was expecting an album of ballads, something Broadway-inspired, but not at all," said Patrick Thevenin, a journalist at French music magazine Les Inrockuptibles and an expert on the artist.

Insgesamt platzierte MADONNA in 25 Jahren außerordentlicher Karriere 10 Alben auf Platz 1 der deutschen Charts. Spektakulär war vor allem der Erfolg des Jahres 2008, als das Album "Hard Candy" und die Single "4 Minutes (Feat. Justin Timberlake)" gleichzeitig die Top-Position in Single- und Albumcharts erreichten. Ebenfalls im letzten Jahr wurde MADONNA als "erfolgreichste US-Künstlerin des Jahres 2008" gefeiert! In den USA brachte sie 37 Top-10-Hits in die Billboard-Charts, davon 12 auf Platz 1.

This album contains no booklet.
