Madonna spent the first 24 years of her career on Warner Bros. Records, but after nearly two decades with Interscope, the artist is returning to her original home. The first fruit of the deal will be Madonna’s new, as-yet-untitled dance album, which Warner will release at some point in 2026.
“From being a struggling artist in New York City to signing a record deal to release just three singles, it seemed at the time my world would never be the same again and in fact that couldn’t have been truer,” she says. “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 [and] doing the unexpected while perhaps provoking a few needed conversations.”
”We are honored to welcome Madonna back home to Warner Records,” add Warner Records co-chairmen Tom Corson and Aaron Bay-Schuck. “Madonna isn’t just an artist — she’s the blueprint, the rule-breaker, the ultimate cultural juggernaut. For decades, she has not only defined the sound of global pop music but also reshaped culture itself with her vision, innovation and fearless artistry. This signing represents a historic, full circle moment. [It] brings her back to the label where it all began and reaffirms her unparalleled influence, setting the stage for an exciting new era of creativity and impact.”
Madonna’s upcoming LP is being produced by Stuart Price, who handled the same duties on the smash 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor.
In July, she dipped back into her catalog for Veronica Electronica, a set of rare and previously unreleased remixes from the Ray of Light era. The album was originally planned for release in 1998 but remained in the vault while Ray of Light spawned hits such as “Frozen” and its title track.
