Martin Garrix premieres M-collaboration in NYC

At the last of his his three-night run at Barclays Center in NYC last night dutch dee-jay, remixer and producer Martin Garrix teased the crowd with a simple question:

Are you ready for unreleased music?

A brand-new track filled the arena, and many realized they were hearing Madonna’s voice.

While he did not make any announcement during the main show itself, Garrix kept the reveal for the afterparty, EDM House Network reports, where he got on the mic and confirmed what they just heard was a collaboration with Madonna.

The announcement follows a series of interviews in which Garrix explained that his new album would feature collaborations with artists he never thought he would work with. He also recently said:

Last time I was starstruck, was in the studio recently, I just can’t say who; I was allowed to record with her, and it was in New York. She came into the studio, I really thought to myself “holy shit, she really exists.”
Only after that immediately, it was super chill vibe, and we have a very special song recorded.

What we officially know so far is that the upcoming Madonna album includes a song named Bizarre and Martin Garrix new record reportedly includes a track carrying the same title.

Will we hear Bizarre on Confessions II exactly as Martin played it in NYC? Garrix himself captioned one of his videos from the Barclays Center with “special intro for a special song”.

On the new Madonna album Bizarre shares Side B of the 12-song version LP with five other tracks. At 33 ⅓ RPM, a long play has an ideal length of 18 to 22 minutes per side.
The longest clip of Martin Garrix playing Bizarre in NYC, filmed by EDM superfan and creator Heidiooo, is 3 and 1/2 minutes long.

If Bizarre will be released on both the new Madonna and Martin Garrix albums it will follow the steps of Paradise (Not for Me), that was originally released as “Mirwais feat. Madonna” on the French producer’s 2001 album Production and eventually made the tracklist of Music as a Madonna song – not a feat. – with a tiny difference in the edit length.

Professionally as Martin Garrix, Martijn Gerard Garritsen was ranked No.1 on DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs list for 2016, 2017 and 2018.
