Overview

  • Madonna released a three-track digital bundle for the 40th anniversary of her 1985 single “Dress You Up,” featuring a remix edit, the 12″ formal mix by Nile Rodgers and a casual instrumental mix.
  • The artist dedicated the reissue to Barbie designers and lifelong superfans Mario Paglino and Gianni Grossi, who died on July 27 after an elderly driver traveling the wrong way collided with their car on Italy’s A4 TurinMilan highway.
  • Paglino and Grossi founded Magia 2000 in 1999 and launched the Italian Doll Convention in 2011, becoming renowned for custom Barbie creations inspired by Madonna’s influence.
  • This anniversary drop continues Madonna’s archival surge after last week’s unveiling of Veronica Electronica, the long-shelved Ray of Light remix album.
  • She is reportedly working with producer Shawn Levy on a limited Netflix series about her life and career.
