It’s Happening! Madonna & Kylie Minogue Confirm ‘Love Sensation’ Collab With Release Date Set

It is officially happening.

Madonna and Kylie Minogue have confirmed ‘Love Sensation (Afterhours Mix).’

Full story below…

Moments ago, the legendary divas confirmed that the long-rumored cut will land worldwide on Friday (August 7) via Warner Records.

Madonna and Kylie Minogue Make It Official

The announcement arrives days after the pair debuted the track live, when Minogue joined Madge onstage at WorldPride in Amsterdam for the closing ‘Club Confessions’ show.

Longtime collaborator Stuart Price handles production, extending a partnership that stretches back to ‘Confessions on a Dance Floor’ and continues across ‘Confessions II.’

The Rumour They Both Denied

There is a neat irony in the confirmation. Minogue shut down collaboration speculation in May, telling the Los Angeles Times she was not on the album and calling the chatter random.

She was technically correct. The pairing was never destined for ‘Confessions II’ at all, arriving instead as a standalone remix.

‘Love Sensation’ Tops Dance Radio

The single arrives with authentic chart heat behind it. The original ‘Love Sensation’ reached the summit of Dance Radio on Friday, following ‘I Feel So Free,’ which did the same as the album’s opening offering.

The Queen of Pop has now scored number one dance hits across five consecutive decades and holds more Dance chart-toppers than any artist in history.

A Collaboration Years in the Making

Friday marks the first time the two have released music together, though the groundwork has been laid publicly for a while.

They first shared a stage on Madonna’s ‘Celebration Tour’ in Los Angeles in 2024, teaming up on ‘I Will Survive’ and ‘Can’t Get You Out of My Head.’ Minogue later reflected on how that pairing came about.

She then appeared alongside Madonna in the BBC’s Madonna and Graham special in June.
