June 25Jun 25 I have my code for the UK show / album launch next Thursday however i never am successful at these things
June 26Jun 26 "Hot Sauce" will be included as a bonus track in the new 17-track digital version of Confessions II entitled Confessions II: Icon Edition on release date as the track #17. I assume it will be available on streaming platforms too.https://music.apple.com/gb/album/confessions-ii-icon-edition/6784492123 Edited June 26Jun 26 by Juan Carlos

June 26Jun 26 Confessions II: The Film Edition is available to pre-order on digital platforms. "Bizarre" is a collaboration with Martin Garrix (I'm aware that this is something known, but he's credited too) and "My Sins Are My Saviour" features Stromae.https://music.apple.com/gb/album/confessions-ii-the-film-edition/6784492285
Wednesday at 03:332 days The lengths of "I Feel So Free" and "Bring Your Love" have been updated in the DSPs of the album from 5:03 to 4:59 and 3:36 to 3:42, respectively, to make a continuous/mixed album like Confessions on a Dance Floor. Also, the other track's lengths have appeared on Spotify, while Lola Leon, her daughter, is credited on "The Test".
Wednesday at 06:161 day Author Lock&Key by Lola is sensational so I am intrigued by her inclusion on the album!
Wednesday at 07:461 day The 7th song being the first all new track to everyone on the album might hurt the streaming a bit? Also not sure if IFSF and One Step Away as the first 2 tracks could "sell" the album for casual listeners. I LOVE 'Free' (especially the Peggy Gou remix) but that isn't really the pop hit of the album the way Hung Up was in its context. Also would've definitely placed Danceteria closer to the top on the track listing considering that is the focus song and most likely the best song on the album.So very interesting to see the streaming figures and how they spread throughout the album.

But M clearly doesn't want to sacrifice the art for the sake of sales with this one!
Wednesday at 12:171 day I'm very confident that Confessions II will be a success; I hadn't seen this level of fan enthusiasm in years—it feels like the 2000s again. The marketing and campaigns have been massive.
Wednesday at 12:281 day I Feel So Free couldn't be anywhere else on the album than first song... it just makes perfect sense. with the opening line of "Thanks for coming..."But Good For The Soul is second looking at the tracklisting? And then One Step Away,To be honest, I want to hear the full versions of the songs I have already heard previews of so I think having those songs at the start is a good move. It will take everything in me to not skip straight to Danceteria and listen to that first before going back to the start. But I want to hear it as a continuous mix....I really hope this is a success for her. There will be so many people who will cry "flop" regardless and do things like compare first week sales to COAD (217k sales) and ignore that we live in a very different album sales climate these days. Just an increase on Madame X will be a plus though. Edited Wednesday at 12:291 day by ChrisJK

23 hours ago23 hr Just listened to "Danceteria" and "Bizarre" if it's taken into consideration that both tracks were the ones I was anticipating the most and they're incredible. I can't wait to listen to the album on Friday. Edited 12 hours ago12 hr by Juan Carlos Typo.
