It’s time to get into the groove! Madonna is ready to hit the dance floor again.
The pop icon announced Thursday that she has signed a new deal with Warner Records, the label where she first launched her career in the early 1980s. The move comes nearly two decades after she left the company, marking a full-circle moment for the artist who has made a career out of reinventing herself.
Back to Where It All Began
Madonna first signed with Warner’s Sire Records in 1982. From there, she went from playing New York clubs to dominating global charts, crafting hits that defined pop for a generation. For 25 years she released albums under Warner, including Like a Virgin, Ray of Light and Confessions on a Dance Floor, before parting ways in 2007.
Now, she’s back. In a statement, Madonna reflected on that first record deal, calling it a turning point in her life. “Since the beginning, Warner Records has been a real partner with me. I am happy to be reunited and look forward to the future, making music, doing the unexpected while perhaps provoking a few needed conversations,” she said.
A New Era of Dance
The upcoming album, still untitled, will be her first release in seven years. Madonna is teaming up again with DJ Stuart Price, the producer behind her fan-favorite 2005 project Confessions on a Dance Floor. That collaboration was hailed as one of her best and remains a staple in clubs around the world, raising expectations for their next effort.
While details are scarce, the singer has made it clear the record will embrace her dance roots. After decades of pushing boundaries in both sound and style, fans can expect her to bring the same mix of provocation and pop sensibility that has kept her at the forefront of music for four decades.
Warner’s Homecoming Queen
Warner executives Tom Corson and Aaron Bay-Schuck praised the reunion, calling Madonna “the blueprint, the rule-breaker, the ultimate cultural juggernaut.” They described the signing as both a homecoming and a chance to set the stage for “an exciting new era of creativity and impact.”
For Madonna, this return isn’t just about nostalgia. It’s about writing the next chapter of her career, one that promises to get fans, and dance floors, moving again in 2026.
