When will we get a new album?

[musicinferno 2,159]

We all know an album is far away since this year (and likely next year) is all about the biopic and she won't have time to record new music. With all the side projects going on, it's hard to predict when a new album will surface. 

 

2022/2023 they will film the movie. 

2023/2024 will be editing (we all know she will take at least a year to edit the film with a 2024 release) 

2024 Warner will push the hell out of the movie's soundtrack, making yet another GH release for her. 

2025 is when she may likely release a new album. But how will she have time until then? And how is Warner going to release all the reissues, the soundtrack, AND a new album simultaneously? 

Furthermore, I would imagine a farewell tour to come in 2025 or 2026. 

 

 

What do you predict? 

[Drum Dub 1,168]

Yeap, my thoughts are somehow similar.  No new album before 2025.

Farewell tour? Don't give me a nervous breakdown please.

[thegoldencalf 8,965]

I think it’s very presumptuous to assume that timeline. We know nothing about what’s coming.

It’s a sensible timeline but... 
Movies often get delayed in production or the release date gets pushed back a lot. And when she’s inspired Madonna is able to multitask and work like hell. So there’s an equal chance of some sort of new musical project to drop at any point or not happen in the next couple of years 

[OceanBlue 401]

1 year to edit the biopic ? If it has tons of special effects and CGI...

[scion 1,455]

I’d say next year… personally I would just prefer a greatest hits tour and a that’s that. 

[MattyMads 3,415]

I don’t know if I want a new album I’m frightened on what she can produce, imo she just doesn’t have the spark anymore i  would prefer a greatest hits tour and just celebrate her amazing back catalogue, I  think she has a lot of damage limitation to do.

Supposedly allegedly she had written with Pat to have these songs ready for an album before the biopic and that she was taking them to diff producers one which was BloodOrange but he wanted to start from scratch so she was going to scap 'em. Who knows if that was true or not. I personally think she should wait until after the biopic, hopefully it'll help with interest in it although she will be in her late 60s so we shall see how it is treated.

if she works with Mirwais again solely then i dont want any more new music sorry - i think hes too limited as a producer and songwriter - i think the timeline above is possible but who knows

i dont know about anyone else but this biopic seems to have been in pre-production longer than titanic was ! ultimately like all her previous movie projects i dont predict good things for it - she is far too ego driven to listen to anyone's advice. unless she works with some producers who will tell her whats good and whats not then left on her own this whole project could end up just a vanity movie like W.E. ended up( i thought it was a nice movie though) and we all know what a financial disaster that was. i dont know why shes still hanging on to this obsession with movies anyway - just let it go M and move on. i would prefer someone else to direct it personally(Maybe Alex Keshishian) she can produce or write it instead.

of course as a stan i would love to be proved wrong its just Madonna + Movies is never a good match ...

I agree. If she is going to record new music, she need more than anything great melodies, vocal expressiviness and passional singing, no autotune or robotic voice, no grillzs, and also catchy chorus. If she is not going to go that route cause that´s what we want so she wont do it, I´d prefer her to be retired from records too.

I think because it's a biopic though it could be different, she's always been amazing at playing herself, so maybe that translates to making a movie about herself too. As long as it isn't overly self-indulgent

[Danton 484]

if she doesn't release a new album this year she's finished - no interest for me to listen to her old stuff again - she is obviously no longer capable of performing but locking herself in a studio and recording albums is possible and even necessary - I don't understand how we can expect best of rather than creations...

[baymad4her 1,958]

I'm not fussed about new music, she has an amazing back catalogue that needs more attention, for now.

This!

[Blue Prince 889]

I disagree with this timeline preventing her from recording anything. It's not like she doesn't have any time at all. Also the past is often the biggest inspiration. I mean if I were Madonna, though tired after decades of work, I would be dying to create a new diamond equal to the ones covered in my biopic. I know she is capable of that still. Let's rule out this year though. Maybe late 2023 or early 2024.

I'm just going by her pattern in recent years when it comes to movies/her post production/making new music. She took forever to edit W./E. and her last 3 tours so I wouldn't expect the biopic to be any different since this will be her baby and only chance at acclaim as a director. 

 

I just can't see her taking on both projects at once. If the film gets pushed back (I wouldn't be surprised if it's canceled all together) then of course I would expect an album in 2022 or 2023.

well, if the plot continues all the way into the 2020s....

Or maybe her NFT avatar could play her younger self? That would be revolutionary!

[madgefan 9,208]

I love her, but she's kinda done.

[Shoful 5,911]

If she delivers the same quality as Madame X then I can wait a couple more years. I'm still so obsessed with that record that I'm honestly not even craving a new one yet until she's ready to deliver this much quality again. I think the deal with Warner was struck because she knows she probably won't be able to put out a brand new album until the biopic stuff is slowing down. I think we'll get decent amounts of demos/unreleased for the next couple of years to entertain us while she finishes biopic. So yea I don't expect one until 2024/2025

I think she's made it clear that she won't make a new album unless she feels inspired to do so. She doesn't care about release an album just because it's been a certain amount of years since the last one. We'll see if/when inspiration strikes again. I'd love an album where she reflect about aging the same way she reflected about motherhood in 1998. Come on mama, tell us what you're thinking. What does it feel like to be a 64 year old superstar? 64 year old woman? What's your outlook on life now? Enough about the patriarchy, we know all that already. What's NEW? 

I wouldn't be terribly disappointed if Madame X turned out to be her last record. It was a good way to end it all. 

[vadge 387]

Maybe ridiculous to say on a Madonna forum, but I think a greatest hits tour is coming. She said this year that she intends to return to stadiums and I'm sure she's aware another studio album won't enable that after Rebel Heart and Madame X were downgrades to arenas and theatres respectively.

The soonest I see it happening is 2026 if she starts working on once the biopic era is over, and with a stadium tour (and another infamous post-tour 3 year drought) it could be 2028. This is all assuming she will take 400 years to cast, shoot and edit the film.

She may surprise us all and drop something before the biopic anyway.

Madame X would be a wonderful way to end her discography, but the way she finally tapped back into her 1994-2003 creative peak, it would suck to never have a follow up. I agree she still needs to dedicate an album theme to ageing.

If there really is a biopic...
