Madonna Comes Home To Warner Records
• Nearly two decades since she departed from the label, Madonna, the best-selling female artist of all time, has signed with Warner Records for her highly anticipated, upcoming new dance album. This marks a return home for the seven-time GRAMMY® Award winner since Warner imprint Sire Records served as Madonna’s label for the first 25 years of her career.
Commenting on her new deal, Madonna said, “From being a struggling artist in New York City to signing a record deal to release just three singles it seemed at the time my world would never be the same again, and in fact that couldn’t have been truer. Since the beginning Warner Records has been a real partner with me. I’m happy to be reunited and look forward to the future, making music, doing the unexpected while perhaps provoking a few needed conversations.”
In a joint statement, Warner Records’ co-Chairs Tom Corson and Aaron Bay-Schuck commented, “We are honored to welcome Madonna back home to Warner Records. Madonna isn’t just an artist — she’s the blueprint, the rule-breaker, the ultimate cultural juggernaut. For decades, she has not only defined the sound of global pop music but also reshaped culture itself with her vision, innovation, and fearless artistry. This signing represents a historic, full-circle moment, one that brings her back to the label where it all began, and reaffirms her unparalleled influence, setting the stage for an exciting new era of creativity and impact.”
With the deal done, Madonna is set to return with a new album in 2026 — her first studio album in seven years. The project will reunite her with award-winning producer, songwriter and DJ Stuart Price, for the follow up to her acclaimed 2005 Confessions on a Dance Floor. [Photo Credit: Ricardo Gomes]
