First, she was the material girl, a quasi-virginal caricature of '80s teen fantasies. Then, the antiprom queen became the un-techno star, channeling '70s disco-ball spirit through '90s electronica. Then in 2005 Madonna decided she wanted it all. On "Confessions On a Dance Floor," Stuart Price helps Ms. Ciccone join her chirpy early dance pop with a swirl of electrobeats.
With one foot in the early roots of her career as a "dance artist" and the other foot planted firmly into the sound of "future disco", Madonna returns to the clubs with a vengeance CONFESSIONS ON A DANCE FLOOR is scheduled to be released on Warner Bros. Records, November 15th, 2005. Recorded in London, Confessions features songs primarily co-written and co-produced by Madonna and Stuart Price, producer, mixer and DJ-supreme ( Les Rythmes Digitales, Jaques Le Cont). Price was Madonna's musical director on her 2002 Drowned World Tour and last summer's Reinvention Tour. Additional producers and co-writers include Henrik Jonback, Grammy Award-winning team Bloodshy & Avant, and Anders Bagge + Peer Astrom from Murlyn Music collective. In addition Mirwais Ahmadzai, the producer of Madonna's last two albums American Life and Music, contributed two songs and co-produced one track. The song "Jump" was co written by previous Madonna collaborator, artist and producer, Joe Henry (Don't Tell Me).
