Madonna previews and confirms a new collaboration with Charli XCX, titled “Danceteria Afterhours.” Multiple outlets report that the artists share studio or snippet material as part of the announcement, and that the remix is scheduled to arrive next week.
Both reports place the release amid ongoing public activity from each artist. PinkNews says Charli is touring in North America while Madonna is preparing for the VMAs, framing the timing around their separate schedules. NME also notes earlier rumors about tensions between the two, followed by a period when they spend time together in Paris over the summer before returning to collaborate on new music.
While the outlets align on the core announcement—Madonna and Charli XCX working on “Danceteria Afterhours” and a release next week—NME emphasizes the earlier “beefing” rumors and their later Paris meeting, whereas PinkNews focuses more on the confirmation details and the artists’ concurrent tour and award plans.
