Madonna & Martin Garrix's 'Bizarre' Goes Instrumental — The Production Steps Forward
Madonna's Confessions II: Instrumentals arrives on streaming today, November 6, 2026 — and the track worth a producer's attention is 'Bizarre (Instrumental)', the Martin Garrix collaboration with the vocal removed and the production left to speak for itself.
What is out today
Confessions II: Instrumentals is a vocal-free edition of Madonna's fifteenth studio album, Confessions II, which was released on July 3, 2026 through Warner Records as a sequel to 2005's Confessions on a Dance Floor. The instrumental edition was previously available only as a purchase-only digital bundle; it now streams on Spotify, Deezer and YouTube Music, with a vinyl edition following on November 10. The streaming version leads with the 16 unmixed instrumentals, followed by the regular album version.
'Bizarre (Instrumental)' runs 3:50. Garrix is credited on keyboards and as a producer, alongside Madonna, with writing credits shared with Oskar Rindborg, Wilhelm Börjesson, UPSAHL and Stuart Price. The album's other collaborations include Sabrina Carpenter on 'Bring Your Love', Feid on 'Read Your Lips', Stromae on 'My Sins Are My Savior' and Madonna's daughter Lola Leon on 'The Test'.
Why the instrumental version matters
The vocal version of 'Bizarre' is a pop record — it debuted live when Garrix premiered it at his Barclays Center show in Brooklyn in June 2026, and it reached the album in July. The instrumental is a Garrix record. With the vocal gone, the chord work, the groove and the arrangement are finally audible on their own — the clearest window yet into what Garrix actually brought to a Madonna session.
For DJs and producers, this is the version that matters: it is the one you can study, and the one you can play. It also lands in a big week for Garrix, who is touring the Americas and preparing his debut pop album MARTY for March 2027, with a 10-city India tour to follow.
