Madonna has opened up about her secret fallout with her daughter Lourdes ‘Lola’ Leon, and said her new album Confessions II healed her relationship with her daughter
Madonna says her new album “healed” her relationship with her daughter Lourdes.
The Material Girl singer has Lourdes (Lola) with personal trainer and actor Carlos Leon and has revealed how her new album, Confessions II, was a way of healing her relationship with her eldest.
Madonna said she was shocked when her daughter suggested they come together for a new song on the album. What she initially thought was just a song collaboration soon turned into something else.
“For instance, the song I wrote with my daughter, Lola [Lourdes]. She approached me about writing a song together as a way to heal our relationship,” she told Interview magazine.
Madonna explained how it felt the right time to reflect on her life and her losses following a string of family bereavements.
“Well, all these symbolic things happened. My step-mother died, my brother was ill, my brother died, my daughter approached me… you know what I mean? It’s hard for me to write a song about nothing. I have to tell a story. So I wrote about a lot of family trauma, and then we started making dance music,” she explained.
Madonna announced her new album back in April, where she urged people to “dance, celebrate, and pray with our bodies”.
Quoting her song One Step Away, she said: “People think that dance music is superficial, but they’ve got it all wrong. The dance floor is not just a place, it’s a threshold: A ritualistic space where movement replaces language.”
She added: “We must dance, celebrate, and pray with our bodies. These are things that we’ve been doing for thousands of years – they really are spiritual practices. After all, the dance floor is a ritualistic space. It’s a place where you connect with your wounds, with your fragility. To rave is an art. It’s about pushing your limits and connecting to a community of like-minded people.”
Lourdes isn’t afraid of opening about her own personal experiences in her music.
“A song about a relationship where I completely lost myself and felt haunted at every turn by lingering, unwelcome spirits. They seemed to make homes wherever I went, dwelling in every corner of my mind. What a gift it is to channel those emotions through art.. to process them and finally set them free. Thank you to everyone who helped bring this one to life,” she wrote as she shared the importance of music for processing emotions and setting them free.
