The mysterious promotional campaign surrounding the Rolling Stones is gaining momentum. After the striking appearance of red posters in the streets of London under the name “The Cockroaches” (The Cockroaches), a famous pseudonym that the British band has often used in the past to perform at secret concerts in intimate clubs, a new development has confirmed fans’ suspicions.
This weekend, a few independent record stores put a mysterious vinyl for sale attributed to this same fictional group. The record contains an unreleased track titled Rough And Twisted, which quickly leaked onto the internet.
Upon listening, there is no doubt: it features the characteristic bluesy riffs of Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood, carried by the unmistakable voice of Mick Jagger. One additional detail that caught the attention of collectors: on the cover, the selling price is set at 10.07 euros. Many observers believe that this specific amount could actually be a hidden date, hinting at a major release or complete revelation on July 10. Known for their love of mystery and formidable marketing strategies, the group seems to be preparing a major event.
Lady Gaga and Madonna reunited on a soundtrack?
The pop world is buzzing with persistent rumors surrounding the soundtrack of the highly anticipated The Devil Wears Prada 2, scheduled for release on April 29. Interscope Records has officially confirmed Lady Gaga’s involvement in this film project, clearly displaying the star’s name on promotional visuals. A first collaboration with rapper Doechii, titled Runway, has already been confirmed.
However, it’s the other potential guests that are causing a stir. According to industry sources, Lady Gaga has reportedly invited pop sensation Chappell Roan, and notably icon Madonna, to participate in this soundtrack. If this collaboration is confirmed, it would mark a historic moment for pop music and definitively prove that the two artists have buried the hatchet, years after the stormy comparisons between Born This Way and Express Yourself. Such a duo on the sequel to a film so iconic for the fashion world is already shaping up to be a huge commercial success.
Madonna announces the release date of her new album
Alongside these film rumors, Madonna’s grand musical comeback is officially taking shape. The artist has unveiled the release date for what is set to be the direct follow-up to Confessions on a Dance Floor, her legendary 2005 album that dominated global charts with timeless hits like Hung Up. This highly anticipated second part will be released on July 3.
On her official website, fans were able to discover a first instrumental excerpt with electro-sounding vibes, confirming the musical direction of this new project. This excerpt is accompanied by the explicit title Confessions On a Dancefloor II and a clever visual featuring the star’s legs on each side of a speaker, forming the letter “M” for Madonna. After nearly two decades, the queen of pop is gearing up to reconquer the dance floors from the beginning of summer with this very ambitious new project.
