Madonna has shared a three-track digital re-release of her 1985 single “Dress You Up.” Released for the dance-pop song’s 40th anniversary, the digital edition features a remixed version, the 12″ formal mix of the track, and an instrumental mix.
“Dress You Up” was the final single off Madonna’s LP, Like a Virgin. The song, produced by Nile Rodgers, was initially released on July 31, 1985. Listen here.
In a press release, Madonna dedicated the re-release to Barbie designers Mario Paglino and Gianni Grossi, who died in a car crash in Italy earlier this week. “With the tragic news this week of the passing of the doll designers and Madonna superfans Mario Paglino and Gianni Grossi, we dedicate this release to them,” the press released noted. “Thank you for dressing up so many of your creations in Madonna iconic looks over the years.”
Last week, Madonna released her long-shelved Ray of Light remix album, Veronica Electronica, nearly 27 years after the companion LP was first sidelined. Veronica Electronica features seven Ray of Light-era remixes from late Nineties powerhouse producers like Peter Rauhofer, William Orbit, Sasha, BT, and Victor Calderone, plus the original demo of “Gone, Gone, Gone,” an unreleased track co-produced by Rick Nowels from the Ray of Light sessions.
Madonna’s most recent studio album, Madame X, arrived in 2019; the now-six-year gap between albums is the longest of Madonna’s career.
The singer is currently working with filmmaker Shawn Levy to develop a limited series at Netflix. It’s unclear what period of Madonna’s career the television series will focus on, although she has previously hinted at her long-awaited biopic being turned into a TV series. Recently, actress Julia Garner confirmed she is still on track to portray Madonna the biopic.

NBA YoungBoy has faced several hardships in recent years. Along with serving time behind bars, the rapper has also dealt with mental health challenges linked to the painful experiences in his life.
His music has often given listeners insight into that pain. During a recent appearance with Funny Marco on Open Thoughts, YoungBoy opened up even further about what he has been going through.
During the conversation, YoungBoy revealed that he no longer plans to live in the United States. He confirmed that he currently resides in South Korea. Although he did not share why he chose that country, his comments suggest he is ready to leave his life in America behind.
Funny Marco asked YoungBoy whether he might ever move back to the United States. The rapper responded with “never in life,” though he admitted that he could return for a visit someday.
Before relocating, YoungBoy lived on a ranch in Utah, where local residents had gradually started becoming more comfortable with him. His new home in South Korea now places him in a completely different cultural environment.
Adjusting to such a major change may not be easy, but YoungBoy has shown his strength and appears confident about where he wants to live. After experiencing so much pain in the United States, he seemingly feels more comfortable keeping his distance.
The move also comes as he deals with serious health concerns involving his heart. The condition remains an ongoing concern, and we hope the artist receives the support he needs as he continues facing this difficult medical situation.
