Madonna and Kylie Minogue performed together live for the first time at WorldPride Amsterdam on Saturday, 1 August, delivering a rendition of 'Love Sensation' that has now been turned into an official studio release.

On the morning of Monday, 3 August, Madonna confirmed that a dual remix of the track — titled 'Love Sensation (Afterhours Mix) — Madonna & Kylie' — would arrive by the end of the week. The remix, produced by Stuart Price, was released on Friday, 7 August via Warner Records, according to Billboard and Broadway World.

The original studio version of 'Love Sensation', co-produced by Madonna and Stuart Price, does not feature Kylie Minogue. The Afterhours Mix is the first recorded collaboration between the two artists on the song, built around the momentum of the WorldPride live appearance.

Before the official announcement, Madonna had already shared a snippet of the Afterhours Mix, giving fans an early taste of the collaboration, as reported by Just Jared on 2 August.

Both artists marked the weekend on social media. Madonna posted a series of Instagram photos from Amsterdam — including shots with producer Stuart Price — captioned: 'L🪩VE SENSATI🪩N @KylieMinogue Thanks for coming!! CLUB CONFESSIONS: AMSTERDAM.' Kylie Minogue shared a montage video of her stage walk-out and the performance, thanking Madonna, Club Confessions World Pride Amsterdam, and Stuart Price.

The original 'Love Sensation' climbed to No. 1 on Billboard's Dance Airplay chart — a US chart tracking club and radio play of dance singles — on the 8 August-dated chart, confirming the track's reach well beyond the WorldPride stage.

The release also sits alongside a broader rollout for Madonna. Her official website lists multiple formats for 'Confessions II' — the follow-up to her 2005 album 'Confessions on a Dance Floor' — available to order in editions ranging from a 2LP Premium set and numbered vinyl to standard CD and cassette. Retail-exclusive versions are offered through Target, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, independent record shops, and Grindr, among others. The site, powered by Live Nation Entertainment, lists the 2026 copyright holder as Boy Toy.

For fans, the Afterhours Mix is the tangible result of a one-night-only live moment between two artists whose paths have rarely crossed on record. Stuart Price, who co-produced the original 'Love Sensation' with Madonna and produced the Kylie remix, is the connective thread — a producer whose work on 'Confessions on a Dance Floor' two decades ago shaped the sound that 'Confessions II' extends. The collaboration turns a festival surprise into something you can carry home.
