VERONICA ELECTRONICA, an eight-track companion to RAY OF LIGHT, was originally envisioned by Madonna as a remix album in 1998. The project was ultimately sidelined by the original album's runaway success and the parade of hit singles that dominated the spotlight for more than a year. RAY OF LIGHT went on to sell over 16 million copies worldwide and earned Madonna four GRAMMY® Awards, including Best Pop Album.

 

More than 25 years later, that long-rumored concept finally comes to life. The collection features newly edited versions of club remixes by Peter Rauhofer, William Orbit, Sasha, BT, and Victor Calderone, along with the original demo of "Gone, Gone, Gone"—a previously unreleased recording produced by Madonna and Rick Nowels.

 

Veronica Electronica was first mentioned on February 2nd, 1998 during her interview for the April issue of SPIN magazine:

"Certain people are going to suggest that ever since you signed Prodigy to maverick you've turned into this electronica-head."
M: "Veronica Electronica, thank you very much. My alter ego [laughs]."

 

Then it was mentioned in Billboard magazine article dated to February 21st, 1998:

"The sprawling, unedited version of "Ray Of Light" is already earmarked for inclusion on "Veronica Electronica," a compilation of single remixes and album outtakes, due in the fall.

"Veronica Electronica" is also a potential stage persona that Madonna is toying with as she ponders hitting the road for her first concert trek since 1993's Girlie tour."

 

Then also in her interview for Q, dated to March 1998:

"What Madonna describes as the more "tripped out, ambient ****" from the Orbit sessions will emerge on a future "remix odyssey" record, putatively titled Veronica Electronica."

The new album is probably going to be released later this year or early next and the Untold Chapter of Bedtime Stories is untold for a reason...

(Shep Pettibone is probably the reason for the hold up)

OMFG??????

WTF

For those who don't know, Veronica Electronica is the remix album that was supposed to be released a year after Ray of Light but it was cancelled for many reasons

THIS IS SO COOL

Oh my GOD. I cannot believe this is actually happening!!! I literally made my own Veronica Electronica playlist on Spotify a few weeks ago with remixes from the single rereleases but this is so major 

Veronica!!! Where is Revenge, girl?

I think veronica electronica was also the working title for either rol or music albums. 

WAIT WHAT OMFG. IS THIS REAL

Does this mean no new music soon?

I feel like it's the opposite, this is a sign of life that I take as being part of the lead up to get her name out there again. Wouldn't be surprised if we get the Untold Chapter soon.
