The Blessed Madonna‘s debut album ‘Godspeed’ is due for release on October 11.

Clocking in at 24 songs, the record is the first long-player from the US DJ, producer and musician and includes collaborations with A-Trak, Joy Crookes, Joy Anonymous and more.

Also included is the Kylie Minogue collaboration Edge Of Saturday Night, which has been teased by the pair on social media after previewing the song at the Circoloco club in Ibiza.

The DJ E-Clyps-featuring title track is out now.

According to a press release, the album showcases The Blessed Madonna’s “decisive and far-reaching influence, and a homage to her roots in underground electronic music”.

“[It] explores the myriad sounds, eras and touch points that make The Blessed Madonna the artist she is today,” it adds, with the musician – real name Marea Stamper – exploring “deeply personal themes” and “the full spectrum of human emotions, tackling everything from joy to grief with equal gusto”.

She added in a statement: “Godspeed: the word marks the beginning of a journey and sometimes the end of one.

“After nearly a year in lockdown, when I signed the paperwork and knew that I was going to be allowed to make this album, I called my dad in Kentucky to tell him the good news. He could not contain his pride and in a way his relief. I was going to be ok. He says it better than I do at the beginning of the record.

“I lost him suddenly just weeks before the first session, but his voice will live in ‘Godspeed’ forever and make a million more journeys to everyone who hears it.”

The Blessed Madonna went on to describe the record as both “a welcome and a farewell”, adding: “The end of a journey and the beginning. A clock running out and an alarm.

“These are the days running over the hills like wild horses and nights that never end. There is no second of this album that was not touched, heard, shaped and believed in by The Godsquad, and first and foremost my twin, my brother Pat Alvarez.”

She continued: “And then by some miracle, Jon and Dom from Sportsbanger appeared and seemed to instantly understand how to get inside of this project and speak on my behalf in visual ways. They saw me immediately and helped me make sense. To be able to trust them was a relief, a vindication and a blessing. I have no higher respect for any group of artists.

“So here it is: This is ‘Godspeed’. This is your chance. Now do your dance.”
