Stuart Price Hints at Future Release of Unreleased Madonna Confessions Tracks

Producer Stuart Price has signaled that a collection of unreleased recordings from Madonna’s 2005 Confessions on a Dance Floor era may eventually see the light of day. Price, who served as a primary architect of the album’s disco-revival sound and recently acted as the musical director for Madonna’s Celebration Tour, suggested that these “lost” tracks will likely “find a way to present themselves” to the public.

The possibility of a Confessions-centric archival release comes as fans have long speculated about the volume of material recorded during the 2005 sessions. While the original album featured a continuous, gapless mix of 12 tracks, several high-profile outtakes were either relegated to B-sides or remained in the vault. These tracks, often discussed by fans as a potential Confessions II, represent a high-water mark for Madonna’s global club-centric success.

Warner Music Group is currently overseeing 's extensive catalog of recorded masters.

The Warner Music Catalog Strategy

The eventual release of these sessions is supported by Madonna’s milestone partnership with Warner Music Group, announced in 2021. This career-spanning deal involves the curation of deluxe editions for her landmark albums, specifically focusing on archival material and rare recordings. Under this agreement, Warner Music Group is tasked with overseeing the singer’s entire recorded catalog, making the “lost” disco files a prime candidate for a future reissue.

Price’s continued proximity to Madonna’s current operations adds weight to the prospect of these releases. His role in the 2023-2024 Celebration Tour required a deep dive into Madonna’s stems and master recordings to modernize her classic hits for the stage. This archival work often serves as the groundwork for physical and digital deluxe re-releases.

Vault Tracks and the 20th Anniversary

Among the recordings long whispered about by collectors are tracks such as “History,” “Keep the Trance,” and “Is This Love?” While “History” was released as a B-side for the “Jump” single and “Keep the Trance” was eventually reworked for a later project, the original Price-produced versions remain highly sought after. These songs were part of a specific creative window where Madonna and Price focused on a non-stop dance aesthetic that defined mid-2000s pop.

Timing may also play a significant role in the release schedule. Confessions on a Dance Floor was originally released on November 15, 2005. With the 20th anniversary of the album approaching in late 2025, a celebratory “deluxe” or “anniversary” edition featuring these session outtakes would align with the industry’s standard archival timeline.

While Price has hinted at the existence and eventual availability of these files, Madonna is currently balancing several priorities, including her highly anticipated biopic and potential new studio recordings. These projects may influence when archival efforts like the Confessions outtakes move from the studio vault to a formal release schedule.
