With “Love Sensation” and “Bring Your Love,” Madonna delivers her strongest dancefloor moment in years – and Sabrina Carpenter is there too. All details here.
The Queen of Pop is back. On Thursday evening, June 4th, the doors of the billboards in Times Square opened: Madonna presented songs from her new album “Confessions II”. The whole thing was announced by Grindr – the trusted dating platform for all non-heterosexual people. The pop icon has made many announcements on the platform in the past and is considered a queer icon in the community. The fact that their new album is being presented at the opening of Pride Month is hardly surprising. She became involved in the queer scene early in her career and, among other things, addressed the scene with gay and lesbian imagery in the illustrated book “Sex” in 1992. Appropriately, she follows up at the Grindr-sponsored event, over 20 years after the album “Confessions On A Dance Floor”.
A billboard opened between the high-rises of Times Square and Madonna appeared to the song “I Feel So Free” from the new album. This was followed by a performance with dancers – both on stage and in Times Square among the crowds. After two more songs from her new album “Confessions II” – “Bring Your Love” and “Love Sensation” – she ended her set with three greats of the old guard: “Get Together”, “I Love New York” and the crowning finale “Hung Up”.
A logical connection, not resuscitation
You can literally imagine her rising from calm to the still-ubiquitous pop banger “Hung Up.”
“Time goes by, so slowly…”
Thanks to the iconic songs, a sequel to an album that is over 20 years old does not seem to be a reanimation of a bygone era, but rather a logical follow-up. The 20-year cycle makes it possible.
Fashion is aligning with the iconic 2000s, and music is also longing for the good old days. Appearance Madonna: At the young age of 67, she lies down on the DJ desk in front of her producer Stuart Price to start her performance. Why is this so special? Price already produced the album released in 2005 and is now returning to the studio for the sequel – and you can hear it. But instead of just classic 2000s pop music, we get a mix of Charli XCX and bunker techno with a touch of disco. Just everything today’s dance floor demands.
Love Sensation and other new tracks
On Friday, June 5, Madonna released another track from her new album: “Love Sensation.” The production brings back a sound typical of the 2000s with French house disco influences, refined by Madonna’s almost Miley Cyrus-esque voice. It is the third song released from the album. On “Bring Your Love” the Queen of Pop starred together with Sabrina Carpenter over an underground house beat in order to capture the new dance floor culture.
It remains exciting to see what further collaborations await us and whether the Queen of Pop will once again deliver iconic songs that will last for decades in the clubs.
