Nearly three decades after redefining pop with her 1998 masterpiece Ray of Light, Madonna is set to revisit the era with the release of Veronica Electronica — a long-rumored companion remix album that delves deep into the club roots and sonic experiments that shaped the original record.
Slated for release on July 25 via Warner Records, Veronica Electronica brings together eight rare and previously unreleased remixes of standout Ray of Light tracks. The project includes contributions from some of the era’s most influential electronic music producers, including William Orbit, Sasha, Victor Calderone, and the late Peter Rauhofer.
The album opens with “Drowned World / Substitute for Love (BT & Sasha’s Bucklodge Ashram New Edit),” setting the tone for a collection that spans trance, progressive house, ambient textures, and late-’90s club euphoria. Fans can now preview the first track, “Skin (The Collaboration Remix Edit),” a reimagined version of one of Ray of Light’s deepest cuts.

The title Veronica Electronica nods to one of Madonna’s longstanding alter egos and hints at the electronic spiritualism that defined Ray of Light. While many of the mixes have circulated unofficially among collectors, this marks the first time they are being released in a high-quality, label-backed format.
This release follows 2019’s politically charged Madame X and 2022’s Finally Enough Love, a compilation of dancefloor-focused remixes celebrating Madonna’s decades-long reign as a club icon.
With Veronica Electronica, Madonna not only revisits her pioneering shift into electronic music but also offers fans a long-requested glimpse into the experimental, beat-driven undercurrent that powered Ray of Light from beneath its pop surface. The album stands as a celebration of her legacy at the intersection of pop and dance — and a gift to longtime fans eager for more from this transformative chapter in her career.
