Madonna debuts new music with Addison Rae at secret ‘Confessions Club’ event in LA

Madonna debuts new music with Addison Rae at secret ‘Confessions Club’ event in LA

Madonna debuted music from her new album during a secret late night event in Los Angeles last night – check out footage below.

Earlier this month, the Queen of Pop announced that her new record ‘Confessions II’ would be released on July 3, the sequel to her seminal 2005 album ‘Confessions On A Dance Floor’. Pre-order the album here.

On Saturday night (April 25), she made a surprise appearance at the LGBTQ+ club The Abbey in West Hollywood at an invite-only event that was billed as ‘Club Confessions Los Angeles’.

Appearing at the DJ booth at around 1am, Madonna was joined by Stuart Price – who has produced both ‘Confessions’ albums – as well as Addison Rae, while Romy of The xx and Mez Monty also performed.

“Hello children, mutha is here to save you,” she said to the crowd. “Are you ready to dance for me? Come on, meet me on the dancefloor. Alright, let’s go gays, come on! Don’t let me down, gays. Gay for the gays! Whoo!”

Price played the record’s only single so far, ‘I Feel So Free’, and also debuted two new tracks, including ‘Freedom’, and treated the crowd to a mix of ‘Hung Up’, the hit song from the original ‘Confessions’ album.

Addison Rae, from underneath a Catwoman-style eye mask, hyped up the crowd during ‘I Feel So Free’, while Madonna paid tribute to The Abbey owner Tristan Schukraft, leading a rendition of ‘Happy Birthday’ to him while she spanked him on the stage.

‘I Feel So Free’ was debuted in a low-key way on the LGBTQ+ radio station Pride Radio last week, while Madonna made a surprise appearance during Sabrina Carpenter’s headline set on weekend two of Coachella, where they debuted a snippet of another song from the new album, their collaboration ‘Bring Your Love’.

‘Confessions II’ will be Madonna’s first record since her 14th album ‘Madame X’, which arrived in 2019.

Around the time of that release, the ‘Like A Virgin’ singer spoke to NME about her relationship with being in the public eye. “It has its pluses and minuses,” she revealed. “The great thing about being famous is that you have a voice and you can spread messages and fight for people who don’t have the ability to fight for themselves, and share your wealth with people who need help.”

She has been teasing the record since early last year, saying last February that she had been “putting my heart and soul” into it, while hinting at the ‘Confessions 2’ title when announcing she had re-signed with Warner Records last September.
