The ‘Confessions II’ era does not end this Friday

Madonna has served to his fans during the promotion of ‘Confessions II’: a 10-minute short film, a performance in Times Square, an appearance at Coachella with Sabrina Carpenter, DJ sessions in clubs and venues like the one that is expected to be huge next Thursday in London… His followers fear the downturn that could occur once July 3 has passed. If this album and this campaign have taken 7 years to arrive, when could we expect its successor between the biographical series and a hypothetical tour? In 2031 at the earliest?

Luckily, it is increasingly clear that the artist has tricks up her sleeve and that once again she is going to focus on ‘BRAT’ as a living album (she has hired her Special Offer strategists for a reason). The first clues are beginning to emerge as to what his plans will be once the album is released and presented at the FIFA intermission.

Madonna had already referred, strangely, in interviews, to 2 songs that are not on this album: ‘Forgive Yourself’ and ‘What Will Save Me’. Now on the Graham Norton show on the BBC he has revealed that he has up to 8 discarded songs that he likes and that he wants to find a way to publish. Does it smell like “BRAT IT’S THE SAME BUT IT’S NOT”? His collaboration with Max Martin remains kept in a drawer. And a possible song with Kylie Minogue.

Kylie has been the guest star on Madonna’s show with Graham, making some of the headlines. Minogue shows up with her and her sister’s copy of Madonna’s debut, and Madonna admits that she was jealous of her because Guy Ritchie found her so attractive. When Graham Norton asks them if they have collaborated for ‘Confessions II’, their faces say it all. There are those who even believe that Minogue could be on the song titled ‘Everything’ because Madonna’s response to Graham is “Why do you have to know EVERYTHING?” But at the moment Kylie is not credited in the features of the film, as we already see Stromae and Martin Garrix. So we may have to wait a little longer to hear that song.

At other times in the interview, a fragment of ‘Fragile’ is played, the song dedicated to Madonna’s deceased brother, Christopher Ciccone, which refers to ‘Ray of Light’, not necessarily to her ballads. And the singer advances that, as for tours, she is going to do “a promotional concert tour.” And then, something big next summer. It is believed that it could finally be his long-awaited presentation at Glastonbury.
