Madonna introduces fans to Veronica Electronica

In a post on Instagram, Madonna explained: "Making my Ray of Light album was a seminal moment in my life as an artist.
"I was going through a huge metamorphosis. I had just given birth to my daughter Lola, I had found my spiritual path and I was ready to shed a new skin and take a road less traveled by.
"I ventured into electronic music with William Orbit and I created an alter-ego, taking one of my names and Veronica Electronica was born. Meet my other half."
Madonna went on to add a video showing an AI-generated version of her younger self announcing the Veronica Electronica remix album.

"It's the long-awaited remix album from the Ray of Light era."
Veronica Electronica features eight rare and previously unreleased remixes from the Ray Of Light album by Peter Rauhofer, William Orbit, Sasha, BT and Victor Calderone and it includes new a version of the title track as well as 'Drowned World/Substitute for Love', 'Nothing Really Matters', 'Frozen' and 'The Power Of Good-Bye'.
The album will be released on July 25 digitally and on a silver vinyl, part of Madonna's Silver Collection' project which releases her catalogue as limited edition vinyl versions.
It comes after Madonna previously revealed she is working on a follow-up to her 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor.
