🚨 THE FIRST REVIEWS ARE IN — and the critics agree: CONFESSIONS II is Madonna’s best-reviewed album in TWENTY YEARS. ⭐
The Queen of Pop reunites with Stuart Price for a 63-minute, non-stop dancefloor ride — and the press has fallen hard. Here’s who said what 👇
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THE MIRROR
A perfect five — the album’s highest score. Describes a record that “unfolds almost like a night out”: euphoric house highs that ease into an introspective morning-after, with its biggest surprises arriving long after the dancefloor empties. 👑
⭐⭐⭐⭐ THE GUARDIAN — Album of the Week
Hails it as “her most vital album in over two decades” — a nostalgic dancefloor trip that proves she still owns the floor.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ THE TELEGRAPH
“Madonna throws a sweaty dance party to reclaim her crown” — euphoric club highs meeting unexpectedly intimate late-career reflection.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ NME
“A thrilling return to the dancefloor.” Praises the sinewy Detroit-and-Chicago house pulse and the emotional power of the album’s closing stretch.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ THE INDEPENDENT
Puts it plainly: “her best album in 20 years.” A tribute to her earliest New York club days, engineered to move you.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ FINANCIAL TIMES
Four stars — another heavyweight critic won over.
And the wider mood? HuffPost’s round-up sums it up: “fantastic — and surprisingly profound.” ✨
From the deep-house opener “I Feel So Free,” to the clubland tribute “Danceteria,” to the heart-stopping “Fragile” and the duet with Lourdes on “The Test” — this is Madonna connecting her past, her family and her floor. She didn’t chase the moment. She reclaimed it. 🪩
NYC officials tell me they’re advising residents “stay away from the venue” amid the historic heat wave, and are encouraging everyone to “beat the heat at your local record store on Friday instead, where you can buy the new album ‘CONFESSIONS II’ by Madonna.”
