Madonna returns to form with dance floor filler 'Confessions II'

Madonna has released her fifteenth album, "Confessions II", with many critics calling the 16 tracks of feel-good club vibes and classic dance music sounds her best release in decades.

The Queen of Pop, 67, has reunited with British producer Stuart Price, whom she worked with for "Confessions on a Dance Floor" in 2005 which was a global success driven by the hits "Sorry" and "Hung Up".

Many music critics from Rolling Stone, Variety to The Guardian newspaper agreed that the Confessions follow-up was her best work since then, following the lacklustre response from fans for her most recent releases "Rebel Heart" or "Madame X".

The album occasionally shifts towards pop, includes folk influences and ventures briefly into reggae with Colombian singer Feid. It also features a collaboration with Dutch DJ Martin Garrix, a duet in which Belgian star Stromae delivers a spoken-word performance, and a track recorded with her daughter Lola Leon. The most-talked about collaboration is with Sabrina Carpenter, who joins Madonna on "Bring Your Love", a song the pair performed together at Coachella festival in April in a performance that quickly went viral. The song "Danceteria" pays tribute to the legendary club where Madonna once worked in 1980s New York.
