On Thursday (June 5), Madonna announced that she is finally going to release Veronica Electronica, a long-awaited project featuring rare and unreleased remixes from her iconic 1998 album, Ray of Light. The album will be part of her “Silver Collection,” a series of limited-edition silver vinyl reissues, and is scheduled for release on July 25. To promote the upcoming release, Madonna shared the first offering from the project, “Skin (The Collaboration Remix Edit).” Veronica Electronica was originally conceived as a remix album meant to be released in 1998 as a companion piece to Ray of Light, which went on to sell more than 16 million copies worldwide and earned Madonna four Grammy Awards, including Best Pop Album. The forthcoming eight-track collection includes newly edited club remixes by Peter Rauhofer, William Orbit, Sasha, BT, and Victor Calderone, as well as the original demo of “Gone, Gone, Gone,” a previously unreleased recording produced by Madonna and Rick Nowels.
