Martin Garrix appears to have teased a brand new collaboration with Madonna, with the track reportedly set to feature on her upcoming album due in 18 days. Garrix premiered the song at his New York show, where the vocals were widely noted to sound like Madonna, before confirming the collaboration at the afterparty. The track is titled Bizarre, a name that also appears on Madonna’s forthcoming album tracklist. If confirmed, this would represent one of the most unexpected crossovers in recent dance music history.
Garrix debuted the track during his New York show, where attendees noted the vocals sounded immediately recognizable as Madonna. He did not make any announcement about the collaboration during the main show itself, keeping the reveal for the afterparty, where he got on the mic and confirmed it was a collab with Madonna.
The timing lines up with Madonna’s upcoming album, which is due in 18 days and reportedly includes a track carrying the same title. The overlap between the two projects strongly suggests the versions are one and the same, though neither camp has issued a formal press release at the time of writing.
This follows a string of interviews in which Garrix said his new album would feature collaborations with artists he never thought he would work with. Madonna fits that framing exactly. She is one of the most iconic figures in pop music history with very little prior crossover into the electronic dance music world, making a collaboration with a DJ and producer of Garrix’s generation genuinely unexpected.
It also follows his high-profile collab with Ed Sheeran, which had been over a decade in the making and signaled that Garrix was thinking beyond the typical boundaries of the genre when putting together this album era. A Madonna feature, if confirmed, would take that approach even further.
At this stage, the collaboration has not been officially announced through press channels. What is known is that Garrix premiered the track live in New York, confirmed the collab at the afterparty, and that both his project and Madonna’s upcoming album share the title Bizarre. Madonna’s album is set to arrive in 18 days. No release date for the Garrix version has been confirmed independently, though the timing suggests the two could land together or very close to one another.
