The queen of pop is back, and ready to reclaim her throne after the disaster that was Madame X.
Back in September, Madonna posted an Instagram carousel showing her in the studio with Stuart Price.
No further details were unleashed by the queen, but fans began speculating that she was working on a new album, or audio pick-ups for the Celebration Tour DVD release (which we're still impatiently waiting for, BTW). I beleved it was a new album because there was no equipment in the studio that lent itself to the belief that she was working on the Celebration tour.
So moments ago, the pop music icon took to her Instagram to announce that she has in fact been in the studio working on her 15th studio album, and has reunited with Price, who produced the brilliant Confessions on a Dance Floor.
Her caption "songwriting and making music is the one area where I don't need to ask anyone for their permission" seems like a dig at the film industry, who, according to her have been giving her a hard time with the development of her biopic the way she wants to do it.
While I understood what she was trying to accomplish with Madame X artistically and sonically, it wasn't my favorite era from her, and don't get me started on the disaster that was the tour.
She managed to redeem herself with the Celebration tour, and fans have been clamoring for M to get back in the stu with Stu to give us another dance record.
Personally speaking I don't want another retread of COADF, but I do think she should give us another dance album, but push the genre into another direction rather than follow what everyone else is doing sonically.
