Madonna Releases Star‑Studded CONFESSIONS II — The Film Ahead of July Album

The 10–13 minute visual weaves six new tracks into a provocative, cameo‑filled fever dream that advances a phone‑free promotional push toward the July 3 release.

Overview

  • The short film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 5 to multiple standing ovations and was made publicly available on Madonna’s YouTube channel on June 8.
  • The project strings together the first six songs from Confessions II and unfolds as a continuous visual narrative directed by the duo TORSO and produced by DIVISION.
  • The film features a long list of high‑profile cameos, including Benedict Cumberbatch, Kate Moss, Julia Garner, Sabrina Carpenter, Gwendoline Christie, Honey Dijon, Arca and footballers Cole Palmer and João Pedro.
  • Dolce & Gabbana supplied wardrobe for Madonna and the cast and longtime collaborator Stuart Price led music direction, underlining the campaign’s fashion and dance‑floor continuity.
  • Madonna used phone‑free screenings with Yondr pouches and public remarks urging audiences to “put the phones down and connect,” while continuing surprise live stunts such as a June 4 Times Square performance as the album rollout builds to July 3.
