If the album was called Love Sensation, Danceteria, etc, for example? Genuinely curious, because I find myself enjoying each song a bit more when I pretend they are from a brand new (non-sequel) pop record from Madonna 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The title was never really confined to that one album anyway, so what difference does it make if she explicitly riffs on an idea she’s already been exploring for almost 40 years?

I think the Confessions 2 brand works well for this album because it’s Stuart Price. If they had called this any other name we’d see a lot of “they should’ve called this Confessions 2!!” 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the COADF title transcends any one album of hers... but at the same time, sequel albums still feel gimmick-y to me (if only in title alone... & even if the new record feels like a worthy continuation). But then again, pretty much every artist is relying on some kind of gimmick to cut through the noise/earn a spot on a chart rn, so why can’t Madonna? & she’s always been self-referential, deservedly so ...but for some reason in this instance, relying on the “legacy” of a past album/her past cultural dominance feels beneath her, imo If she truly has nothing left to prove as MADONNA, just let this new music speak for itself without any nostalgic winking 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confessions II is an iconic title! Great idea to do a sequel to one of her signature album - and the music of Confessions is somewhat “easy” to repeat (unlike Ray Of Light, or Erotica). I personally love the nostalgic aspect, plus all visuals and branding Edited Monday at 09:01 PM by nkta 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
