Madonna has officially announced her return to Warner Records, nearly two decades after leaving the label that first launched her career. Alongside the reunion, the Queen of Pop revealed that she is working on a brand new dance album set for release in 2026, her first in seven years.
The news feels like a full circle moment for the singer, who began her rise to global superstardom with Warner’s Sire Records imprint back in 1982. Speaking in a statement, Madonna reflected on her early struggles in New York City and how her first deal at the label transformed her life. She described Warner as a true partner from the beginning and said she was excited to reunite and continue pushing boundaries, both musically and culturally.
Perhaps most exciting for fans is the confirmation that Madonna will reunite with DJ Stuart Price, the producer behind her beloved 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor, widely regarded as one of her career’s finest works. Price’s involvement has sparked speculation that the upcoming project may capture a similar high-energy, club-driven sound that made Confessions an enduring classic.
