Will Madonna Able To Catch The Lightning Twice With Confessions II?

[RAMROD 115,601]

It's one of the most anticipated release this year, especially to those who have religious experience on the first one. That album gave her another wind in her already long career. 
Which this sequel seems to be cultivated for as well. 

But can she do it again? As we know, it's not easy to recreate that kind of success, and that kind of phenomenal album twice. Many have tried, and failed. 
 

What is your opinion on this? Especially after listening to to the first song, (not first single), which you can check here:

No.

But we can still hope for some good, dance-y songs

& a fun era w memorable looks/moments

[Vimo 1,514]

I just want that project to be fun. It will never reach the level of the first one we spent the last 20 years sacralising. And I'm not asking her to do that either.

[Killa 18,580]

Sequels are the new thing ahah. Its Absolutely impossibile tò be anywhere near the First One regarding impact. But on the other hand if It somehow cracks a certain kind of demographic, her whole discography can be injected with new Life in regarding streaming. 

I believe in madonna, She'll beat the last the last projects for sure.

She is Madonna. 
As above, So Below. 

[Bronco 21,194]

Based on the first song we've heard I don't expect this to be a commercial juggernaut. 

But that first song makes me think it may be her best dance album and that it could do really well with the club scenes.

She hasnt seen lightning since 2012 if we are generous. So the odds are not in her favor

It's not the year of the dance songs so I doubt that. Even Taylor Swift couldn't top the charts with Opalite. She's only able to do so with the delayed shipment, calculated radio peak, and single variants.

We will NOT compare Taylor Swift's water soup music with Madonna's music in this house

Do any of these other ones also have rollback effect?

Excuse me, it's a raw chicken soup

[dynamite 65,737]

No

Absolutely everything has changed in music and society etc

Even if it's majorly successful it won't feel anything like before, through no fault of her own

[elijahfan 27,291]

The world has changed a lot since the first Confessions, in this day and age I'm really unsure a Madonna dance record is what people are going to be streaming non stop. But I'm confident this might be one of her most successful releases in recent years, there is genuine anticipation.

I think it will be kind of forgotten.. I don't want to sound bad, but her time as an artist is kind of over? like I feel like she has nothing new to say anymore.. lyrics wise, I Feel So Free is just the same old story from every single album.. the whole "sex" is not shocking anybody in the OnlyFans era we live in.

I really hope she was able to bring something new to dance music, because I feel like it has been stuck in the same state for the last 20 years.. like everything sounds the same.. we barely have pioneers in dance music anymore.
