Confessit II Posted January 12 Posted January 12 3 minutes ago, jonski43 said: It could be like Beyonce or Dua Lipa where there is the standard single version then a remix like Levitating with M. I think she could this route as well. It seems to be common practice now for many who release dance/dance inspired albums to follow up singles with single-like remixes with features/samples. Madonnas Confessions2 is the absolute perfect album to follow this strategy! It spotlights the album even more and would open up more stream revenue for Madonna if she gets a feature involved in it. +Madonna has lent her own voice in this exact strategy for Dua, and Beyonce sampled Vogue when she did it, so she is familiar with the strategy.
robster Posted January 12 Posted January 12 DeuxBlue on Popjustice is saying: Early morning announcement, just information about the new era with dates and name of the first single. Remember that the WB announcement also came out around 6/7am EST.

That’s exciting though, but I do think whenever they announce the era it will be album & lead single together….? I would have thought the announcement would happen right before the lead single drops? So if we are getting the announcement this week, I suspect the lead single will drop this Friday…. Isn’t that how they usually do it nowadays, rather than a big build up? Or do you think they will tease the lead single for a week or 2 before the drop?

robster Posted January 12 Posted January 12 I am soooooo ready but als soooooo prepared that tomorrow will come and go without a single shred of info. We've been to this rodeo so many times before, being edged until our balls were purple... I've got my fingers crossed and try not to get my hopes up. BUT usually things are announced when I have limited access to my phone and tomorrow afternoon will be a VERY VERY busy day with limited access to my phone, so this tracks... I'm manifesting

I hear you. It’s just that after she officially announced Madame X, just 3 days later the lead single dropped. Maybe they are going to tease over the next 3 weeks leading up to the Grammys and the actual drop of the single. If they announcing pre-orders and holding off releasing the lead single for another few weeks I think that must mean a few weeks of teasers of the lead single

I hear you and I agree with everything! It wouldn’t make sense to drop the lead single the week after D&G, yet at least need to give it a few weeks to embed. I think she would benefit from teasers & buzz as well. Hopefully if the announcement is happening tomorrow we will get a snippet to hear along with the album cover & pre orders starting. Get the world talking a bit and hopefully she shows up somewhere to talk about it
Rain Posted January 12 Posted January 12 So we're talking collabs ? Who are we rooting for? Rosalia? Miley? Bunny?

Get the world talking a bit and hopefully she shows up somewhere to talk about it if it's 2.5 weeks away, i wouldn't expect a snippet tomorrow. maybe just the titles and release dates, hopefully a pre-order link. there's plenty of time over the following two weeks to post teasers/snippets.
robster Posted January 13 Posted January 13 DeuxBlue has added: “focus on the main single with some details about the album and main producers, not all surprises will be out yet and not the full tracklist tomorrow, they definitely want to have something out for the Grammys weekend.”
robster Posted January 13 Posted January 13 2 minutes ago, Shaun said: Wonder if we’ll get the album title and release date? I wonder if we’ll get anything at all! Fingers crossed. I’m off to bed! If DeuxBlue is correct we SHOULD know within the next 12 hours or so…
Crux Posted January 13 Posted January 13 1:43am and there's no way I can sleep now. This is so exciting.
bard Posted January 13 Posted January 13 any song title guesses? if it's the TRUE HEIR to "hung up," then... picking up call waiting send to voicemail slide to answer slide (into my DMs) no bars
AlvaroLiam Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Before someone brings this up… User DeuxBlue, who is anticipating something for tomorrow, has just posted that we shouldn’t be surprised for the vocals on the lead 'cause LWW was a tease for that. LWW, a “remaster” of a 1994 song… that's how credible this person is. On other news, Dazed has said that the vocals on the song he has heard sound similar to Sorry in 2006 (but he doesn't know if that song is the lead or not).

Thanks for this note re: Dazed, because I hadn’t seen that one. For what it’s worth, Dazed has said he knows nothing about anything potentially coming tomorrow — he said he’d love to be wrong, wants the album as soon as everyone else does, but that if we get something tomorrow or this week, it will be a surprise to him. (Unless something has changed very recently — that’s something I read he said after all these rumors have started flying that make it seem like info is coming imminently.) I’m trying not to get too excited, in case this is all a bunch of fake hype. (I’m super hyped for new music from M! I just mean about the precise timing - lol!) Edit to add: @AlvaroLiam, I found that post from Dazed … he said it sounds like Sorry but in 2026 (rather than 2006)… just wanted to point it out, because it didn’t even flag for me! haha! (Since Sorry did get released as a single in 2006…)
dollhouse Posted January 13 Posted January 13 hope it has legs snd not just vanish after first weekend, need promo and fanfare to spread the word

pithy Posted January 13 Posted January 13 2 hours ago, dollhouse said: hope it has legs snd not just vanish after first weekend, need promo and fanfare to spread the word Yeah, I'm really hoping for a nice slow drip following the flurry of activity that kicks things off. It's unfortunate how every other album era ends with the LP's release these days.

Sorry in 2026 Quite big expectations I am extremely cautious and my expectations are very low. I remember MDNA being described as a return to form, return to her origins etc.

peter Posted January 13 Posted January 13 1 hour ago, dollhouse said: so we have: 1. True heir to Hung Up 2. Better than Vogue 3. Sorry in 2026 Quite big expectations I don’t think “better than” Vogue was ever stated. Someone who heard it, when asked to describe it, likened it to Vogue. Could be that certain elements are similar to or borrowed from Vogue. (She’s done it before, so … not improbable.) 2 minutes ago, M_Sinner said: Today or tomorrow? Today (Tuesday, January 13) if some are to be believed — some other hints were for this week. I’m not overly hopeful, but we’ll see.
