The pop icon previously stated that her new record would be released this year

Madonna has confirmed the release of her next album, which will be her fourteenth record to date.

The pop icon revealed in an interview with WWD published on Monday (October 1) that she plans for it to hit shelves in 2019, not 2018 as previously stated.

Madonna, 60, was promoting the new beauty roller addition to her MDNA Skin lineup during the interview but make reference to the fact that she’s working on more than just skincare.

She told WWD: “I’m finishing my record, which I’m going to release next year.

“Yep, in between rose mist spray and serums, I’m actually making music. Can’t quit my day job.”

This as-yet-untitled album will be Madonna’s first release in four years, since 2015’s ‘Rebel Heart’.

In other recent news, the pop star said that she thinks all modern music “sounds the same”.

She told Vogue Italia in August: “Everything’s so formulaic, and every song has 20 guest artists on it, and everyone sounds the same.”

Madonna moved to Lisbon recently to help her 12-year-old son, David Banda, pursue his dream of becoming a professional football player.

She said her new hometown has inspired the direction of the new record.
