After years of speculation and fan anticipation, Madonna has finally confirmed the release of Veronica Electronica, a long-shelved remix project originally tied to her iconic 1998 album Ray of Light. The album will be released on 25th July 2025 via Warner Records, offering listeners a fresh take on a defining moment in pop music history.
A long-lost companion to Ray of Light
Veronica Electronica was initially conceived as a remix companion to Ray of Light, but plans were quietly shelved at the time. Now, over two decades later, Madonna is ready to share the project with the world. The eight-track collection includes remixes by some of the most respected names in electronic music, including William Orbit, Sasha, Victor Calderone, Peter Rauhofer and BT.
The album also features an unreleased gem titled ‘Gone, Gone, Gone’ – a demo co-produced by Madonna and Rick Nowels during the original Ray of Light sessions. This track adds another layer of depth to the project, offering fans something completely new alongside reimagined versions of beloved tracks.
Previewing a reimagined sound
To mark the announcement, Madonna has released ‘Skin (The Collaboration Remix Edit)’, offering a first taste of the soundscape fans can expect from Veronica Electronica. The track breathes new life into the original material while retaining the emotional pull and sonic innovation that made Ray of Light a landmark release.
The album will be available in both digital formats and as a limited-edition silver vinyl, a nod to collectors and fans who’ve followed the project’s long-rumoured existence with dedication and curiosity.
Reinforcing a legacy
Madonna’s decision to finally release Veronica Electronica feels like more than a nostalgic gesture. It’s a chance to revisit an era when she redefined herself artistically, and to see that legacy through a fresh lens. Coming off the back of her Celebration tour and recent retrospective compilation Finally Enough Love, the release continues her exploration of past works while opening up new conversations around her catalogue.
With Veronica Electronica, Madonna is not just honouring her past – she’s reactivating it, recontextualising the creative energy that helped her reshape pop for a new generation.
