The whispers and rumors among Madonna's devoted fanbase have finally culminated in an official announcement: Veronica Electronica, a project featuring rare and unreleased remixes from her critically acclaimed 1998 album Ray of Light, is set for release on July 25. This highly anticipated collection promises to offer a fresh perspective on a pivotal moment in the Queen of Pop's illustrious career.
To mark this significant release, Madonna's ongoing "Silver Collection," a series of collectible, limited-edition silver vinyl reissues of her unparalleled catalogue, will also see a new addition with Veronica Electronica. Fans eager to get their hands on this piece of pop history can pre-order/pre-save the album now. Vinyl orders placed through Madonna.com and Rhino.com will include an exclusive silver mylar lithograph.
Adding to the excitement, the beloved deep cut "Skin (The Collaboration Remix Edit)" from Veronica Electronica was released today, offering a tantalizing preview of what's to come.
Originally envisioned by Madonna as a remix album in 1998, Veronica Electronica was ultimately sidelined due to the immense success of Ray of Light and its parade of chart-topping singles. Ray of Light went on to sell over 16 million copies worldwide and garnered Madonna four GRAMMY® Awards, including Best Pop Album.
More than 25 years later, this long-rumored concept finally comes to life as an eight-track companion to Ray of Light. The collection features newly edited versions of club remixes by an array of legendary producers including Peter Rauhofer, William Orbit, Sasha, BT, and Victor Calderone. A particularly exciting inclusion is the original demo of "Gone, Gone, Gone," a previously unreleased recording produced by Madonna and Rick Nowels, offering a glimpse into the creative process behind one of her most iconic albums.
The tracklist for Veronica Electronica promises a journey through reimagined soundscapes, with Side A featuring tracks like "Drowned World/Substitute For Love" (BT & Sasha Bucklodge Ashram New Edit) and "Ray Of Light" (Sasha Twilo Mix Edit). Side B includes "Sky Fits Heaven" (Victor Calderone Future New Edit) and the captivating original demo of "Gone, Gone, Gone." This release is poised to be a must-have for both longtime fans and new listeners discovering the groundbreaking artistry of Ray of Light.
