Madonna And Charli XCX Hint That A New Collab Could Be Coming

Published by Sam Flores

Charli XCX and Madonna in Paris earlier this year Madonna’s current wave of success has been a joy to behold, from the rave reviews for her latest albums Confessions II to her return to the UK top 10 thanks to her long-awaited collaboration with fellow music icon Kylie Minogue. But it seems the Queen of Pop is not done yet. Over the weekend, the Grammy winner posted a TikTok video of herself pensively listening to the Confessions II cut L.E.S. Girl, which brings the album to a melancholic ending. “Thinking about Charli…” she captioned the post, with Charli XCX then popping up in the comments section shortly afterwards. @madonna @Charli XCX 👀 ♬ L.E.S. Girl – Madonna “Wait… I got something I wanna talk about,” the British singer-songwriter wrote, in a nod to the lyrics of Madonna’s recent Sabrina Carpenter duet Bring Your Love, which has become something of a meme in recent weeks. The two singers’ exchange has led many fans to speculate that they might be about to cross musical paths, potentially on a …

Madonna and Kylie Minogue Take ‘Love Sensation’ Straight Back to No. 1

Published by Daniella Wilson

Madonna is back on top of the U.K.’s Commercial Pop club chart — and this time she’s brought Kylie Minogue with her. Eight weeks after “Love Sensation” first topped the chart with Madonna in a solo capacity, the track soared back to the peak in its new After Hours mix, entering straight in at No. 1 with Minogue joining her on vocals. The remix, helmed by longtime Madonna and Kylie collaborator Stuart Price, got its live debut at WorldPride Amsterdam on Aug. 1, when Minogue made a surprise appearance at Madonna’s Club Confessions party. With Price assisting on the decks, the pair unveiled the track together from the DJ booth — “Are we in gay heaven?” Madonna asked the crowd — before the studio version rolled out in the days that followed, complete with lyric videos featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the Amsterdam event. The reworking unites two of pop’s most enduring dancefloor queens on a single record — a pairing fans of both artists have long dreamed about — and the U.K.’s club DJs have …

Madonna And Kylie Minogue’s Love Sensation On Course For Chart Success

Madonna And Kylie Minogue’s Love Sensation On Course For Chart Success

Published by Sam Flores

Madonna’s Confessions II era is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Released last week, the duet marks the singer’s first official collaboration after sharing the stage during the Queen of Pop’s Celebration tour back in 2024. And speaking of celebrations, the Official Charts Company revealed in its “first-look” preview on Sunday evening that the new version of Love Sensation is currently on track to peak at number eight in this week’s chart. Now, admittedly, we have to assume that this is based on physical pre-sales of the single’s CD format, meaning that unless it can keep up streams in the days ahead, this position is likely to drop before the chart is announced. Kylie, of course, has been enjoying a chart resurgence of her own in the last few years. Source link

Fans Think Madonna Is 'Dragging' Ex-Husband Sean Penn On New Album Confessions II

Published by Sam Flores

Madonna Madonna’s new album Confessions II is already being hailed as one of her most reflective to date, with the Queen of Pop reminiscing about everything from her early days in New York to her relationships with her late brother and daughter across its 16 tracks. But what few could have predicted would be that Madonna’s latest release would feature a song inspired by her first marriage. The Like A Prayer singer was married to three-time Oscar winner Sean Penn between 1985 and 1989, with the two stars’ romance being an infamously volatile one. Since Confessions II’s release last week, many fans were surprised to discover that Martin Garrix collaboration Bizarre appears to be inspired by this pivotal relationship. Madonna and Sean Penn pictured together in 1986 “Movie star, deep blue eyes,” Madonna sings on the opening lyric, in an apparent nod to her famous ex, continuing: “In Hollywood, we’re a perfect prize.” She then references a figure from her past who “drove too fast” and alludes to a “Shelby Cobra” that “wasn’t meant to …

When Freaks Were Chic: An Oral History of Danceteria

When Freaks Were Chic: An Oral History of Danceteria

Published by Sam Flores

Danceteria’s tolerance and topsy-turviness allowed for enormous creativity—but it also allowed for some precarious situations. BRILL: We would do dinners on the roof in the summertime. One night I wanted to get down to the dance floor and the elevators were very slow. I was always in fetish stilettos and rubber skirts that had limited maneuverability, but I saw some people climbing down the fire escape ladder. So I just climbed down [10 stories], went through the window into the club, and then climbed back up to the roof afterwards. Thank God no one was hurt that way. But we were desperate to find a place where we not only belonged but could create and express—and if it came with a little bit of danger, then that was okay. DAVIS: There were two elevators side by side at Danceteria, and [fellow elevator operator] Audrey Roman and I used to stop in between floors and open the trap doors inside of the elevators. We would sit with our legs dangling down the shaft and share a …

Madonna reveals biopic collapsed after ‘falling out’ with Universal: ‘I was in limbo’

Published by Daniella Wilson

Madonna has opened up on the collapse of her planned biopic, claiming that she had a “falling out” with Universal Studios over budget constraints. The film, said to be titled “Who’s That Girl”, went into development in 2020, with Julia Garner (Weapons) having been set to play Madonna and the musician writing and directing her own life story. However, updates on the project eventually dried up, and now Madonna, 67, has spoken about it in a new interview. “I was supposed to make a movie about my life,” she recalled to Interview Magazine. “I worked on my script for two years and spent two years at Universal Studios with the line producers doing budgeting and casting. Madonna pictured in May 2025 (Getty) “We had a falling out, me and Universal, regarding budget because I needed – I’ve had an extraordinary life. I’ve had a huge life, so I needed a big budget. You know what I mean? It’s not going be an [indie film].” According to the “Like a Virgin” hitmaker, she had engineered a …

Fans might have to wait a little longer to see if Julia Garner ends up playing Madonna in a biopic, but they don’t have to wait to see Garner and Madonna collaborate on film. The Ozark and Americans alum has a quick cameo in a club scene in Madonna’s star-studded Confessions II visual album, which premiered Friday night to a theater full of screaming fans at the Tribeca Festival in New York. The more-than-10-minute short film, which is set to the first six songs on Madonna’s upcoming Confessions II album sees the Queen of Pop being chased by a SWAT team of robot-like women carrying cameras as she moves from an apartment (hiding “in the shadows” as she sings on “I Feel So Free”) to a forest, where she dances with a number of scantily clad women and men with “lasers coming out of every orifice” (indeed, thin green lights shoot out from between their legs), to driving a car, to a nightclub to a very crowded bathroom, where Madonna and her celebrity friends (she …
