Madonna seeks to ‘connect’ with fans through her music

Madonna just said that she doesn't want to make "mindless music."

The La Isla Bonita hitmaker premiered the visualiser for her upcoming Confessions II album at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York on Friday and she explained the video, which was a 13-minute short featuring the first six tracks from the record, is "really about connection", which is what she seeks in her music.

According to Deadline, she said, “I don’t want to make mindless music. I want to make music that’s about something.”

Madonna continued, “Dance music makes you move your body, and you feel the pulse. It’s, like, you’re connecting to the universe, you’re connecting to other humans.”

“The movie’s really about connection. I emerge from my solitude of this apartment and go right into a forest with people with lasers coming out of their a****. You just really go through life, take risks, be curious, be observant,” the Material Girl singer added.

Madonna had fans lock their mobile phones in special pouches ahead of the screening, urging, "Put your f****** phones down and connect."

The 67-year-old singer recalled how, when she had performed with Sabrina Carpenter during her Coachella set in April, “everybody had their phones up [and] I didn’t know what anyone looked like."

Meanwhile, Confessions II, Madonna’s upcoming album, has been directed by David Toro and Solomon Chase aka TORSO and features cameos from the likes of Sabrina Carpenter, Benedict Cumberbatch, Debi Mazar, Kate Moss, Julia Garner, Odessa A’zion, Richard E. Grant, Honey Dijon, and Madonna’s daughter Lourdes Leon.
