Madonna is giving fans an early listen to her 15th studio album, Confessions II, through a live stream on Thursday afternoon. The event, hosted in partnership with TikTok and iHeartRadio, will begin at 4:30 p.m. ET and feature the singer alongside her daughter Lola Leon, collaborator Stuart Price, and Bob the Drag Queen. This marks the first time the full album will be heard in sequence, one day ahead of its official Friday release.
The hour-long broadcast will use TikTok’s live tools to let viewers interact with polls, custom reactions, and Q&As, turning the premiere into an immersive listening experience. More than 200 iHeartRadio stations across the U.S. will also carry the stream, making it accessible to a wide audience. Unlike traditional album previews, this format invites real-time participation — fans can influence the flow of the show through live prompts, creating a dynamic, crowd-driven atmosphere that mirrors the album’s energetic, club-inspired tone.
Confessions II comes alive with guest features
Confessions II includes 16 tracks, with collaborations from Sabrina Carpenter, Feid, Martin Garrix, Stromae, and Lola Leon, who appears on the song “The Test.” Earlier this year, Madonna released “I Feel So Free” as the lead single, which topped the Dance Digital Song Sales chart and re-entered multiple Billboard rankings. The follow-up, “Bring Your Love” with Carpenter, peaked at No. 7 on Hot Dance/Pop Songs and charted on the Hot 100, signaling strong commercial momentum for the project. The album’s sonic identity, shaped by Stuart Price — who also co-produced the original Confessions album — blends retro-disco textures with modern electronic production, a signature sound that has defined Madonna’s recent work.
The album’s connection to film was first revealed at the Tribeca Festival, where six tracks from Confessions II — “I Feel So Free,” “Good for the Soul,” “One Step Away,” “Bring Your Love,” “Danceteria,” and “Read My Lips” — debuted in the accompanying short film, now available on YouTube. The film, titled Confessions II – The Film, offers a visual narrative that complements the album’s themes of liberation, rhythm, and self-expression, further deepening the listener’s immersion before the full release.
The livestream’s structure reflects Madonna’s long-standing relationship with evolving media platforms, from MTV in the 1980s to today’s social-first experiences. By choosing TikTok and iHeartRadio, she meets fans where they are — not just listening, but participating.
