Lourdes, grab Mummy’s synthesizer: The Queen is ready to cook up some new tunes…and some more MDNA Skin concoctions.
Two years after the release of her thirteenth studio album, Rebel Heart, and 34 years after the release of her debut self-titled solo album, Madonna, Queen of Pop©, confirmed over the weekend (Sept. 2) that she plans to work on new music in her new home of Portugal.
As she is wont to do in this era of social media, M-Dolla formally made her post-Rebel Heart intentions known on her Instagram. (Brace yourselves: emoji overload incoming.)
“The energy of Portugal is so inspiring. I feel very creative and alive here and I look forward to working on my film LOVED and making New Music!!! ❤️??. ????. This will be the next Chapter in My Book! ?????♥️ It’s time to conquer the world from a different vantage point!! ?????,” Her Madgesty declared.
Yes, yes: she’s threatening us with another movie, too — her first since 2012’s W.E..
We’ve known about her plans for Loved for months now, but much like “Hey You” or that photo opp with The Fat Jew, many have opted to pretend it’s not really happening.
Regardless: “New Music!!!”
What will Madonna’s next reinvention sound like? An American Life: It Gets Stupider love note for Trump’s America? Horse pop? Some dabbling the Portuguese musical genre of fado? Or, perhaps, will this be the Lola duets album we’ve been waiting for since “Little Star”?
Let the #M14 rumo(u)rs begin.
