Madonna Reveals She’s Working on New Music for 2025
New year, new Madonna music! The Queen of Pop took to Instagram on Monday (Dec. 16) to reveal that she’s been in the studio with DJ, songwriter and producer Stuart Price.
“Working on new music with Stuart Price. these past few months has been medicine for my SOUL,” the “Material Girl” singer wrote alongside a video of the duo having fun in the studio, getting creative together. “Songwriting and making music is the one area where I don’t need to ask anyone for their permission.. i’m so excited to share it with you. Who wants to hear new music in 2025!”

Price has been a longtime collaborator for Madonna, taking on the role as her musical direct for her 2001 Drowned World Tour, 2004 Re-Invention World Tour, 2006 Confessions Tour and her most recent Celebration Tour. He has remixed and co-wrote countless tracks with the superstar, and is best known for working on her 10th album, 2005’s Confessions on a Dance Floor.
Madonna hasn’t released a full-length album since 2019’s Madame X. The project debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, marking her ninth chart leader. Madame X‘s lead single, “Medellín” with Maluma, topped Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart and hit No. 18 on Hot Latin Songs, and was followed by three more singles: “Crave,” “I Rise” and “I Don’t Search I Find.”
Beyond music, Madonna has also stayed creative as she works on her long-awaited biopic. Last month, she reflected on the difficulties of making the project, with “producers and agents” telling her that the film will be hard to make, forcing her to “think outside the box.”
“I did not have a normal life. I cannot make this in the normal way,” she wrote on Instagram. She also asked fans for their input, wondering if she should make the “story of my life into a series or a feature film.”
