Inside Madonna’s ‘Confessions II’: Rolling Stone published a feature where producer Stuart Price goes deep on making the album, and the piece revisits his role in shaping the record’s sound.
Rolling Stone’s headline is the centerpiece of a wider media conversation about Confessions II and Stuart Price’s reunion with Madonna; Billboard published a behind-the-scenes report that discusses Price and co-producer Andrew Watt working on the project, and Music Week noted Price is again credited as a co-producer as the album prepared for a July 3, 2026 release.
In the Rolling Stone feature referenced in news feeds, Price reflects on returning to the creative partnership that produced Confessions on a Dance Floor, explaining how the team approached dance-pop textures without simply repeating the past. The article headline — Inside Madonna’s ‘Confessions II’: Producer Stuart Price Goes Deep on One of the Year’s Best Albums — frames Price as a primary voice on the album’s making.
Billboard’s reporting from its Oct. 15 piece on the sessions described how Price and Andrew Watt collaborated with Madonna in studio sessions that aimed to find fresh directions while honoring the dance-floor orientation that marked their earlier work. Billboard’s story provides behind-the-scenes detail about those studio dynamics and names both producers in its coverage.
Music Week’s interview context traces Price’s long history with Madonna, noting that he was credited as co-producer on Confessions II and that the album had been scheduled for a July 3, 2026 release. Music Week also revisited Price’s account of the pair’s earlier breakthrough on Hung Up and how that working shorthand carried into the new sessions.
Together the coverage in Rolling Stone (as carried in news feeds), Billboard and Music Week paints a consistent picture: Stuart Price is presented as a returning creative partner who helped steer Madonna back toward dance-rooted production without attempting to recreate the earlier album note-for-note, and reporters cite his role alongside Andrew Watt in shaping the record’s sound.
For readers following Madonna’s catalogue, the pieces offer both technical detail about production choices and a reminder of the pair’s songwriting chemistry; the reporting connects Confessions II to the team that produced hits from her mid-2000s run while describing new sonic choices explored in these sessions.
