Madonna is ready to head back into the studio

The 51-year-old released her last project, Hard Candy, in 2008. She has since spent time working on her second directorial venture, W.E. She is itching to return to the studio for new music, contactmusic.com says.

"It's official! I need to move. I need to sweat. I need to make new music! Music I can dance to. I'm on the look out for the maddest, sickest, most bad people to collaborate with," she said in a message posted on her Facebook page.
