Overview
- The short film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and was posted to YouTube on Monday as the primary visual preview for Madonna’s forthcoming album, Confessions II.
- The film unfolds in six connected chapters and presents the first six songs from the record, including “I Feel So Free,” “Bring Your Love” with Sabrina Carpenter, and “Read My Lips” with Feid.
- The 10–13 minute piece features about 15 celebrity cameos—from Julia Garner and Benedict Cumberbatch to Kate Moss and Lourdes Leon—and was directed by TORSO with wardrobe by Dolce & Gabbana and music direction by Stuart Price.
- Madonna has supported the launch with surprise live moments, including a Times Square performance and an appearance during Sabrina Carpenter’s Coachella set, while early tracks from the film have begun to chart on club and dance lists.
- At press events the artist criticized widespread cellphone use at concerts, arguing that phones interrupt the ritual of live shows, and framed Confessions II as a return to the dance-floor aesthetic she first explored in 2005.
