Madonna dropped a remix of her recent single, “I Feel So Free,” by Peggy Gou. The track, dubbed “I Feel So Free (Peggy Gou Energy Mix),” imbues the dance-ready track with an even more uplifting vibe, giving it a propulsive ’80s beat.

“I Feel So Free” comes off Madonna’s upcoming Confessions II, the pop star’s 15th studio album and a follow-up of her 2005 classic Confessions on a Dancefloor. The album is set to drop on July 3 via Warner Records. The singer also recently shared “Bring Your Love,” a collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter, which the paired previewed at Coachella. Madonna will return to the Tribeca Festival this summer with a new cinematic project tied to the LP.


“People think that dance music is superficial, but they’ve got it all wrong,” Madonna said in a statement about Confessions II. “The dance floor is not just a place, it’s a threshold: a ritualistic space where movement replaces language.”


She added, “We must dance, celebrate, and pray with our bodies. These are things that we’ve been doing for thousands of years — they really are spiritual practices. After all, the dance floor is a ritualistic space. It’s a place where you connect — with your wounds, with your fragility. To rave is an art. It’s about pushing your limits and connecting to a community of like-minded people. Sound, light, and vibration reshape our perceptions. Pulling us into a trance-like state. The repetition of the bass, we don’t just hear it but we feel it. Altering our consciousness and dissolving ego and time.”

Madonna is set to perform as part of the first ever halftime show at the 2026 FIFA World Cup final alongside BTS and Shakira. The July 19 event will take place MetLife Stadium in New Jersey and raise funds for the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, an initiative working to provide access to quality education and football for children worldwide.

Inside the Exclusive Music Gigs at Private-Members Clubs

Amid a glow of red and orange lights, a chic underground room in New York’s trendy Meatpacking District is alive with bodies. It’s just after midnight, and women are dancing on velvet banquettes, men are two-stepping on luxe, carpeted floors the color of merlot, and everyone is table-hopping with icy martinis in hand, as the groovy house jam “Talk to You” pumps through the venue’s sound system.

It’s one of the latest tracks from ANOTR, an Amsterdam DJ duo who timed the release of the feel-good anthem for the summer. And before the in-demand producers jetted off to Cannes and Ibiza to kick off the European party circuit, they made an unadvertised pit stop here, at the members-only club Chez Margaux.

What Awaits Sean Combs After He’s Released From Prison

When Cassie Ventura filed her 2023 lawsuit accusing Sean Combs of sex trafficking and assault, Rolling Stone’s senior entertainment investigative reporter Cheyenne Roundtree began tracing the music mogul’s rise to power and allegations that had long circulated only in whispered warnings. Her reporting appeared in Rolling Stone’s May 2024 feature Bad Boy for Life: Sean Combs’ History of Violence, and in the HBO documentary The Fall of Diddy, for which she received a consulting producer credit. She later covered Combs’s criminal trial and partial conviction from start to finish. Now, in her debut book, Bad Boy for Life: The Rise and Fall of Sean Combs, due out Sept. 29 via Henry Holt, Roundtree offers a sweeping account of the label executive’s flashy ascent and staggering fall from grace.
