A New Collaboration Between Two Music Icons
US singer Sabrina Carpenter has encouraged her fans to put down their phones and embrace the dancefloor, following the release of her new collaboration with pop icon Madonna. The 26-year-old artist features on Madonna’s latest track, Bring Your Love, which is set to appear on the veteran artist’s upcoming album, Confessions II. This new record serves as a sequel to Madonna’s acclaimed 2005 release, Confessions On A Dance Floor.
Announcing the single on Instagram, Carpenter wrote: “Bring Your Love is out now. Thank you @Madonna for inviting me to be a part of Confessions II, I hope you all enjoy it and take a break from phone, and go out and dance.” Madonna, whose birth name is Madonna Ciccone, also promoted the single, stating: “We’ve got something to say about it.”
A Surprise Performance at Coachella
The collaboration was first unveiled when Madonna, 67, made a surprise appearance during Carpenter’s set at the US music festival Coachella. After Carpenter performed her song Juno, she struck a pose reminiscent of Madonna’s iconic Vogue music video, prompting the music to switch to the 1990 hit as Madonna emerged on stage. The pair then performed Bring Your Love, alongside Madonna’s classics Vogue and Like A Prayer.
During the performance, Madonna shared with the crowd: “Twenty years ago today, I performed at Coachella – I was in the dance tent and it was the first time I performed Confessions On A Dance Floor: Part I in America and that was such a thrill for me. So you can imagine what a thrill it is for me to be back 20 years later, so it’s a like a full circle moment, you know – very meaningful for me.”
Carpenter later expressed her gratitude on Instagram for the “privilege” of her “dream” performance with the star.
