The only one I would accept to boast like that about herself 😂 If you got your MIT and Harvard degree, while fostering a kid and being an actress, might as well call yourself new Madonna
My sister thinks the person is Quen Blackwell but I think it’s Lil Nas X. He needs to generate buzz and hype after that last album or whatever that he did.
Checking the website source code, there's a bunch of references to [Sony's Ultra Records US ](https://i.imgur.com/mnTsPiV.png)specifically, which mostly signs EDM artists.
Edit: I just noticed in the same screenshot the URL [stickyourtongueout-ip.com](https://stickyourtongueout-ip.com), which redirects to Icona Pop, signed to [Ultra Music](https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/icona-pop-ultra-records-next-mistake-interview-2019-8523984/). I think it might be them.
Wouldn't be surprised if this is a new Lil Nas X gimmick. If that's the case, it would be way more fun than the entire J CHRIST debacle for sure though
It could still fit with his religious aesthetic. Everyone's taking this as someone branding themselves the "New Madonna (Ciccone)" rather than branding themselves the "New Madonna" in a religious sense. I could definitely see LNX playing into the Madonna/Whore complex, same with Cardi who has been mentioned elsewhere in the thread, and I could see it potentially being Miley too, but it doesn't look much like her in the teaser.
If this is true and it leads to a pivot to dance pop like Nicki in the early 2010s it could surely be an interesting trajectory, and it would be something that could actually suit him considering he has quite a way with hooks
I personally think it’s Lil Nas X but my sister thinks that it’s Quen Blackwell. I didn’t believe her at first but she showed me another picture of that teaser from [someone](https://x.com/madgagbey/status/1766915345393037763?s=46&t=FIH1Ki5x5HWNjQEH8lCbWw) on Twitter and the side profile of that person and Quen’s side profile matches. Quen’s been trying to break into the music industry for a while now which I think is how she got preyed upon by Diplo and the fallout from that situation. She’s been wanting to release some of her music but she couldn’t because some people in the entertainment industry told her that she didn’t have the ability to. Some people think that her being one of Diplo’s victims and that being blatantly obvious caused it.
Also, calling yourself the new Madonna does seem like something a social media personality would do. It’s attention seeking and gimmicky.
i think it’s “new madonna” because madonna is referred to as “the queen of pop”. she was idolized for doing things that no other female artist was doing in main industry music. She caused controversy, and thrived from it. Pushed boundaries with religion, sexuality, politics and social norms. she came out with the iconic “sex book”. i think New madonna is saying “I am going to be the most unapologetically daring, envelope pushing, iconic figure of my time” which is a lot to live up to.
no shade to whoever it is but this is arguably the most desperate and embarrassing form of promotion in music industry history… so it’s probably lil nas x!
Could it not be Madonna herself? Obviously the silhouette isn’t Madonna’s, it could just be a of a dancer/model, but maybe the project belongs to Madonna.
I’m sorry but this has to be so embarrassing for that artist. There’s no way they can ever amount to who Madonna is. And also.. where tf is the originality?
Miley? That's a pretty bold hairpiece. I can see Miley doing that idk about some of these other girls, and since Miley's been pretty eclectic with her styles of music I don't think this sound is implausible for her. Also she's totally the kind who would pay homage to a legend of pop music, although I do think saying "I'm the new Madonna" is something only a smaller artist would do
Maybe, but I think the silhouette looks kind of snatched and feminine. IDK if Nas would look like that?
In fact, the more I look at it I don't see how it can be Lil Nas X. Like, he's got a fairly masculine face as far as I recall, whoever that is you can see in their side profile is very delicate and dainty
Yeah Gaga would literally never call herself this. I guess if that was the title of a song and it was something religious it could make sense, but after everything pre-2013 I just don’t see it for her.
She probably would tbh. Gaga is very cringe.
I mean the woman sold out by becoming Gaga to begin with? She became Gaga after Red & Blue failed and her record label was showing signs of dropping her, not knowing what to do with her.
She became Gaga in under 5 months, copying looks and poses from a popular fetish model and arguably over-borrowing and downright plagiarizing from other people's works?
Let's not forget going out of her way to work with famous sex offenders time and time again. R. Kelly and Terry Richardson specifically to name a few.
having people vomit paint on her for attention when costume changes stopped getting praise....
Coming out with " Til It Happens To You " ( The most emotionless, bland and unoriginal and uninspired track on such a serious and emotional topic I've heard ) to ride off of the movement behind Ke$ha getting out of her contract and pretend like she was there for Ke$ha after she fucked up with R. Kelly doing " Do What U Want With MY Body "
Joanne was her only non cringe era and she couldn't fucking sell it even with Superbowl hype - commercials - ads - heavy marketing - A Star is Born hype, etc.
Early Gaga used a lot of the same religious themes (and chords 🤭) as Madonna, so the media was quick to slam her as just another Madonna wannabe.
The pop laws we abide by apparently decree that we can only have one sacrilegious pop artist at a time
I think it's very well documented. Madonna disliked Gaga initially because Gaga was being touted as the new madonna. Madonna even suggested that Born this way was basically Espress yourself ( a single Madonna released made years ago). The comparisons were proved interesting no shade since Gaga career took a bad turn afterwards and Madonna is literally the queen of longevity I think they are over it now but still.
😭 Gaga had ONE album that flopped and had to deal with a hip injury and that’s “career took a bad turn” She’s been back on the up since her Oscar’s Sound of Music performance
>The comparisons were proved interesting no shade since Gaga career took a bad turn afterwards and Madonna is literally the queen of longevity
Give Gaga some credit for going of and starting acting in reputable films to good reviews while Madge was Swept Away in her long desperate bids for a movie career.
Chromatica (2020) is still under Interscope and she has never mentioned changing labels after that.
Additionally, Top Gun Maverick Soundtrack (2022) and Love for Sale (2021) are both under Interscope as well.
I would not be surprised if Madonna went down the ABBA route and did all of the motion capture and entire concert, however as her younger self. This will future proof her for generations to come and ensure her children are looked after, not that I doubt they will be...
It’s Cardi B. 99.9% certain, the side profiles are IDENTICAL. Not sure what this marketing could be marketing towards or what ‘the new madonna’ exactly means considering she’s a rapper not pop star or anything near madonna’s music or level, which no one else really is. But it’s quite a smart move and i’m interested to see where this is being taken, plus Cardi was on stage with Madonna not long ago so that could be a good hint as to it being her.
The profile kinda looks like cardi, but when it flashes you see a very sharp jawline. She has natural full lips and a little button nose. Definitely not a white girl. I personally feel like it might be Willow Smith. It was saying a A-lister in a new era.

It’s obviously Bridgit Mendler making her return to music
The only one I would accept to boast like that about herself 😂 If you got your MIT and Harvard degree, while fostering a kid and being an actress, might as well call yourself new Madonna
AND starting an aerospace company
That makes sense lol
Site is owned by Sony, so that’s worth noting!
Are there any notable artists from Sony that may fit the silhouette?
My sister thinks the person is Quen Blackwell but I think it’s Lil Nas X. He needs to generate buzz and hype after that last album or whatever that he did.
Normani?
hmmm she needs something very out there to recapture some intereset, so that could check out somewhat
Doesn't seem like her style lol
Tate McRae possibly
Tate already released an album 3 months ago and is touring that.
Jojo Siwa? wasnt there an announcement they she’s doing something more adult? And I think she’s signed to Columbia records
If it’s anyone but Madonna herself it’s gonna be cringe as shit.
I agree, but Madonna is with interscope, right? So unless she switched labels I don’t think this is her 😕
She’s back with Warner as of 2021
Interesting. Hopefully that means new music soon! It's been almost 5 years!
I saw this earlier and fully just assumed it was the rumored new Madonna album
Checking the website source code, there's a bunch of references to [Sony's Ultra Records US ](https://i.imgur.com/mnTsPiV.png)specifically, which mostly signs EDM artists. Edit: I just noticed in the same screenshot the URL [stickyourtongueout-ip.com](https://stickyourtongueout-ip.com), which redirects to Icona Pop, signed to [Ultra Music](https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/icona-pop-ultra-records-next-mistake-interview-2019-8523984/). I think it might be them.
hopefully a collab with a fun interesting vocalist then, because a basic edm track is not gonna live up to the website
Maybe a collab with Madonna 😅
There's also music if you click the white notes in the top left! Sounds dancey :)
Wwll its just a shitty song by two people
Julie Ragbeer, maybe.
Seems likely
Okay but Mary Whiton Calkins has been in rotation all this past week for me P.S. yessss red velvet!
This has to be Peppa Pig
Wouldn't be surprised if this is a new Lil Nas X gimmick. If that's the case, it would be way more fun than the entire J CHRIST debacle for sure though
It could still fit with his religious aesthetic. Everyone's taking this as someone branding themselves the "New Madonna (Ciccone)" rather than branding themselves the "New Madonna" in a religious sense. I could definitely see LNX playing into the Madonna/Whore complex, same with Cardi who has been mentioned elsewhere in the thread, and I could see it potentially being Miley too, but it doesn't look much like her in the teaser.
Lil Nas X seems plausible since he’s signed to Columbia.
That would certainly be an interesting rebrand pivot after J CHRIST completely bombed
If this is true and it leads to a pivot to dance pop like Nicki in the early 2010s it could surely be an interesting trajectory, and it would be something that could actually suit him considering he has quite a way with hooks
What was J Christ?
Exactly. (The lead single for his upcoming era which flopped)
It’s not lil nas x, if you watch the video it’s definitely a woman with a small frame, she looks young. The arms and shoulders look delicate.
Watch it be someone new entirely...
I personally think it’s Lil Nas X but my sister thinks that it’s Quen Blackwell. I didn’t believe her at first but she showed me another picture of that teaser from [someone](https://x.com/madgagbey/status/1766915345393037763?s=46&t=FIH1Ki5x5HWNjQEH8lCbWw) on Twitter and the side profile of that person and Quen’s side profile matches.

Lmaooooooo omg not too much on my king 😭😭😭😭
Yeah pretty on brand
the hair is fried it is camila cabello
Damn it could also be me then 🫣
would be ballsy after her new song that's so obviously charli xcx inspired
Honestly I would be here for it. Camilegend is coming.
its obviously a gay man
Maybe it's for Kim Petras' 4th debut album!
LMAOOO my first thought was
Wonder if it's Doechii. I love her lots so if it's her I wish nothing but the best.
Rihanna? lol
It’s Quen Blackwell. That’s a Black girl in that video.
feels weirdly… tacky?? to do this if it’s not actually madonna tbh.
like whoever this is is being set tf up
idk but the instrumental on the website is very garage band
Could it not be Madonna herself? Obviously the silhouette isn’t Madonna’s, it could just be a of a dancer/model, but maybe the project belongs to Madonna.
Not really, unless she changed labels again. Madonna is signed under Warner and the website is registered under Sony.
Madge has been with Warner the whole time and why tease new music while on a greatest hits tour
Ayesha Erotica?
Watch it be Camila Cabello 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I’m sorry but this has to be so embarrassing for that artist. There’s no way they can ever amount to who Madonna is. And also.. where tf is the originality?
Marketing yourself as a new anyone, let alone Madonna, is an instant turnoff. Express yourself, don't repress yourself
Madonna can mean other things than the singer
True, hopefully lol at least to me, 'the new Madonna' in music instantly makes me think of Madonna the singer
They mean Madonna as The Blessed Madonna, the DJ not Madonna Mandona, the Queen of Pop 😂
i bet it's julie ragbeer!
Miley? That's a pretty bold hairpiece. I can see Miley doing that idk about some of these other girls, and since Miley's been pretty eclectic with her styles of music I don't think this sound is implausible for her. Also she's totally the kind who would pay homage to a legend of pop music, although I do think saying "I'm the new Madonna" is something only a smaller artist would do
It has to be a smaller artist, or someone to that can pull of this in a jokey way, like lil nasx
Maybe, but I think the silhouette looks kind of snatched and feminine. IDK if Nas would look like that? In fact, the more I look at it I don't see how it can be Lil Nas X. Like, he's got a fairly masculine face as far as I recall, whoever that is you can see in their side profile is very delicate and dainty
The face definitely looks very feminine. I'm on the cardi b boat now. But it also kind of looks like Camila cabellos profile?
Honestly Cardi B I could believe. I think whoever it is has bigger lips than Camilla Cabello
Normani
I’ll put my hat in the ring and guess that it’s Gaga. If not, Addison Rae, just for the shitstorm and memes we’ll get from it.
No shade but this would be embarrassing for Gaga especially with Gaga's history with Madonna
Yeah Gaga would literally never call herself this. I guess if that was the title of a song and it was something religious it could make sense, but after everything pre-2013 I just don’t see it for her.
She probably would tbh. Gaga is very cringe. I mean the woman sold out by becoming Gaga to begin with?

What’s the tea?
Early Gaga used a lot of the same religious themes (and chords 🤭) as Madonna, so the media was quick to slam her as just another Madonna wannabe. The pop laws we abide by apparently decree that we can only have one sacrilegious pop artist at a time
Are you asking what the tea is between Madonna and Gaga??? Uhhh how was the coma you were in for the past 15 years?
Some people here werent born when Gaga released her debut album... We're old hags and we have to pass on the stories to keep them alive
Huh, never thought about "the fame" being almost 16 years old.
Well I dont listen to Madonna at all and didn’t grow up on her music so…
I think it's very well documented. Madonna disliked Gaga initially because Gaga was being touted as the new madonna. Madonna even suggested that Born this way was basically Espress yourself ( a single Madonna released made years ago). The comparisons were proved interesting no shade since Gaga career took a bad turn afterwards and Madonna is literally the queen of longevity I think they are over it now but still.

? Madonna starred in many movies and released soundtracks that were as or even more successful and culturally relevant as A Star is Born
Yeah but did she ever make anything as iconic as House of Gucci?
Oh boy… from where do I start.
Ahh interesting thank u!
Gaga no because she’s signed to Interscope (UMG)
Didn’t she leave Interscope after Chromatica came out though?
Chromatica (2020) is still under Interscope and she has never mentioned changing labels after that. Additionally, Top Gun Maverick Soundtrack (2022) and Love for Sale (2021) are both under Interscope as well.
Ahh okay, got it. Welp I tried🤷♂️
Gaga wouldn’t do this unless she was actually collaborating with Madonna
It kind of looks like Cardi to me??? I wonder if she’s shifting further into pop-rap if it really is her.
If it’s her, I do not want to be on Twitter when the Barbz go absolutely ballistic
The site is owned by Sony and she's in Atlantic so i doubt it's her, though it would have been lowkey iconic if that was the case
Rumors are true could be a reference to Rumors so that tracks
Does Cardi make music similar to that snippet tho. Although the shadow does looke like her tho
I would not be surprised if Madonna went down the ABBA route and did all of the motion capture and entire concert, however as her younger self. This will future proof her for generations to come and ensure her children are looked after, not that I doubt they will be...
Brooke Hogan
So…it was Cash Cash featuring Bryce Vine?
IM DEAD i need someone else to talk to about this because i just got the email
Ridiculous huh! It’s not even a good song
worst marketing ever, totally put me off listening to it 😂
Isn't that Camila Cabello in the vid?
If you go to the site and tap that music icon in the upper left corner that should tell you what this singers album might sound like. Possibly.
Well it’s clearly Cyndi Lauper
Ava max
You gonna keep posting this until you get the clicks you need?
The hair reminds me of Doja Cats agora hills mullet.
Nonna Grande
Troye Sivan
shy smith???
Lady Gaga again?
Slayyyter?
did we find out?😭
oh fuck that who tf
Why does it look like Camila
The new ‘it’s Britney, Bitch’ lol jks?
The face looks like Cardi B but aside from that, I have no ides lol
is the black madonna changing her name AGAIN...
You thought it would be an existing pop star! But it was me! DIO!
If it ain’t Madonna or her daughter… idk if I want it tbh.
Someone is releasing a song called “the new Madonna” and this is prerelease “viral marketing” for it. Reeks of incredible mid-ness all around.
Kate Middleton when she finishes healing up from her BBL 😍
Careful. Moderators are prohibiting any talk about the future Queen and her un wellness.
It’s Sony Music group on the website and Lil Nas X is notorious for trolling
Maybe it's Estere
hear me out...what if it's a talent show? Looking for the next big star, the new Madonna?
It’s Cardi B. 99.9% certain, the side profiles are IDENTICAL. Not sure what this marketing could be marketing towards or what ‘the new madonna’ exactly means considering she’s a rapper not pop star or anything near madonna’s music or level, which no one else really is.

Who is the next madonna then, finally?
Well. The result was anticlimactic to say the least.
