Oliwer KubiakGuestStefan MreczkoHost... what are your thoughts on Confessions Tour? What was it like when you first heard it?

You know what? I remem- I was, I didn't have any expectations, 'cause I, I, I thought to myself that the, um, when the promotion for the album started, I was really happy with how Madonna was everywhere, and all the songs.

I remember listening for I Feel So Free, to I Feel So Free for the first time, and I thought to myself, "This is, like, this sounds so fresh." She's, you know, it's like, it's not Confessions, 'cause, uh, it's not an unpopular opinion that it's not, for me, it's not Confessions Tour.

I think without all those albums she's done previously, we wouldn't have Confessions Tour.

But coming back to the songs, when I listened to it for the first time, um, I actually listened to the album as Madonna said she is listening to the album.

So I'm going to the gym, I'm just hitting play, and, you know, I'm just gonna go with my workout, listening to all of the songs.

And I'm really happy that she actually did this right now, because I think that when it comes to Madonna, people really forgot who she is, like, what she can do, and how she can move people with her music.

Because I think Madame X was really experimental and, you know, not, people who are not really Madonna fans didn't really understand it.
