The Blessed Madonna has officially announced her long-awaited debut album, titled 'Godspeed,' set to release on October 11th. This album, featuring an impressive 24 tracks, represents a culmination of three years of work, with notable contributions from various artists including Kylie Minogue, Joy Crookes, and A-Trak. The album is now available for pre-order here.
The lead single "Mercy" featuring Jacob Lusk, as well as the UK Top 20 hit "Happier" featuring Clementine Douglas, are among the highlights from the album. Each track reflects The Blessed Madonna's deep roots in underground electronic music while also weaving in influences from pop, soul, and gospel genres. Collaborative efforts stand out prominently, bridging the gap between established artists and emerging talent.
Marea Stamper, known professionally as The Blessed Madonna, poured her heart into this project. She reflects on the album being as much about her personal journey as it is about the music itself, sharing the impact of her father’s voice within its first track, forming a heartfelt connection. "Godspeed" is described by Stamper as both a welcoming and a farewell, to mark both beginnings and ends of journeys undertaken in life.
Moreover, the visual presentation of the album has been crafted with creative direction from the innovative artists at Sports Banger. This includes elements such as a heartfelt photograph of Stamper's husband on the album sleeve.
