Madonna has released a cover version of La bambola (‘the doll’), which was originally a hit for the Italian singer Patty Pravo. The digital single — Madonna’s first new solo track since 2019 — is part of a promotional campaign for a Dolce and Gabbana perfume.
This is the first time Madonna has recorded a song in Italian, though she has occasionally performed in other languages. She sang a cover version of the French classic La vie en rose (‘life in pink’) on her Rebel Heart Tour, and she ended her MDNA à l’Olympia (‘MDNA at the Olympia’) show with a cover version of Je t’aime... moi non plus (‘I love you... me neither’). She has recorded Spanish versions of two of her singles: Verás (You’ll See) and Lo Que Sienta la Mujer (What It Feels Like for a Girl). She has also released two Sanskrit-language songs: Shanti/Ashtangi and Cyber-Raga.
