WTF! Madonna gets rolled out of a dirty sack in first official music video of the ‘Confessions II’ era
"Bring Your Love" has got visuals.

After saying the word “video” was cheap, Madonna flipped the script and released the first — and very expensive — official music video from her upcoming album, Confessions II.
One week after dropping the Easter egg-laden Confessions II – The Film, the Queen of Pop finally FINALLY unleashed the visuals to her collaboration with pop princess Sabrina Carpenter, “Bring Your Love.”

It’s been two months since the blonde songstresses first teased their duet at Carpenter’s Coachella headlining set and fans had begun to worry if an official video would not be part of Madonna’s relentless Confessions II promo tour.
The fact that the 67-year-old icon then dropped a third track from the album, “Love Sensation“, didn’t help matters.
But fear not, Madonna gave the children what they needed and an official video has landed.
The full-length clip uses footage also found in the Confessions II – The Film, but with some extra scenes not in the video film.
For one, it finds Madonna getting rolled out of a black sack onto a crowded dance floor of shirtless sweaty men. How dare they!
From there, Madonna makes her way through the crowd getting closer to Carpenter. But before they meet, the Queen of Pop ascends through the air doing aerial stunts.
It’s giving Matrix. It’s giving Cirque du Soleil. It’s giving … Pink! Sorry, Your Madgesty.
Eventually, the duo have an on-stage walk off and meet face-to-face to join pop forces. Then out of nowhere, a long-haired blonde in the crowd whips her locks to reveal … it’s Julia Garner. Those biopic dreams live to see yet another day!
After a few more aerial summersalts, Madonna heads for the exits and leaves through a back door that reveals a poster: “Come to the Club of Love.” Fade to black.
From her appearance at the Abbey in Weho to taking over Times Square, a nonstop onslaught of teasers, videos, Grindr collabs, remixes and performances have formed what has been a tsunami marketing campaign for Confessions II.
No one is complaining, it’s just been a lot. And over the weekend another track from the album was debuted.
Dutch DJ and producer Martin Garrix premiered a previously unheard song that is set to appear on Confessions II. During his Saturday night set in Brooklyn, Garrix played “Bizarre”, his collaboration with the Queen.
“Bizarre night 3 in New York!” Garrix captioned a video of the performance and tagged Madonna.
The “Get Together” singer pairing with one of the biggest electronic music artists seems right on brand with making sure Confessions II hits all the angles of dance music. She previously showed respect to house music by sampling Chicago house legend Lil Louis on “I Feel So Free.”
A throwaway pop album this is not, kids!
With, checks calendar, 18 days until the official release of Confessions on a Dance Floor – Part II on July 3, who knows what other surprises Madonna has in store.
One thing’s for sure, we’ll eat up anything the Queen throws our way.
