    The Vault: Madonna Aperture Magazine Interview

    By Chuck82,  in General Madonna Discussion )

        and after that look at this instagram story when she is in her bathroom and talk about art

    🙂

    It’s  coincidence. The delusion is out of this fucking world. Why the hell would Madonna lurk on a mostly negative fan site?? 

  2. I’m really interested to hear her promo interviews this time around. We literally know nothing except there’s going to be a Portuguese influence, Mirwais is back on board and there was an early collab with Starrah and Billboard. Did she scrap the early tracks and change directions? Did the record company interfere again? Did she always intend to include Portuguese influences? Was Mirwais brought onboard to save a sinking ship? So much mystery and so much speculation. This is the longest it’s ever taken her to record an album so i can’t wait to find out why exactly.

    What if she releases 2 albums ? The eagerly anticipated "Magic," and then either a Spanish and Portuguese inspired album, or something to that effect? I could see her doing that. She loves the Hispanic culture in general. 

    I'm wondering if there was an event last spring or summer that made her re-think her direction of this album entirely? It felt like at the Met gala, she was about to unleash the new single a few days or weeks after, right when she performed it partially on the steps with Like a Prayer. But something happened to make her delay or scrap the concept/direction of the album? I'm wondering if she was just inspired and wanted more Portugal influence and not as much "rap," "hip hop," etc....

    There was never a single coming and Beautiful Game was never about to be unleashed. It is so irritating when people make shit up, it’s purely speculation. For all we know Beautiful Game came from the vaults and Madonna just decided to bring it out and sing a few lines because she felt it suited the artistic statement she was making with the performance. All that said I’m extremely intrigued to hear what she has to say in her upcoming interviews about the process of making this album and if indeed she started making the album and then decided to change directions and why it took a year to complete and why Mirwais was brought on board after 15 or so years.

    I still think the album will have a fairly commercial-leaning sound, with experimental elements/Portuguese influences here and there.  Lead single will be a Music/Hung Up hybrid. 

    This has been my view all along.

    Experimental elements ala Ray of Light, Music etc but very much kept to a classic pop concept. It’s what she does best.

    If she goes full crazy with the concept then I’ll eat my words.

    If managed properly... here is the problem

    Isn’t it ironic that Madonna has one of the most powerful managers in the industry who owns a management company full to the brim with other management talent yet the rollout of his flagship artist’s last album and era was a total disaster and he has stood by whilst that era has been followed up with some of her worst career decisions and social media gaffes. Madonna has been involved in some amazing and iconic fashion and product campaigns of the entertainment industry yet chose to promote MDNA SKIN in the cheapest most tacky way possible. She’s extremely lucky that the promo campaign was for the most part ignored by the mass media and general public and the products sold through good word of mouth otherwise she risked being a laughing stock like Cher and Mariah Carey were. It’s endlessly headscratching stuff.

    MDNA wasn't 50% bad.  Come on now.  I do not think that any of Madonna's record are any where near that threshold.  Look at the MDNA tracklist again and then look at other pop icons latest work.  Better yet, listen to the album in full.  The single choices were questionable, (given the fantastic material that was overlooked) but they were all better than Cardi B's Money or Ariana Grande's 7 rings.  

    But that’s just the point, perfection is expected of Madonna based on her back catalogue and the fans expect nothing less. I’m even sure Madonna expects nothing less herself. You can’t really use the pop icon excuse either. What pop icons are still releasing albums? Cher? Kylie Minogue? I hope you don’t consider any of the new breed to be pop icons?

    ...this all coming from a HUGE MDNA fan btw.

    Now THAT would be incredible, mixing batuka tribal percussion drum beats that flow from one song to the next with the songs having mirwais electronics meets dance madonna pop!!!! 

    I want long songs. 10 song album with a few extra long songs with some beautiful intros and outros... 

     

     

    This is what I’m praying for. Mixing Portuguese music with Mirwais beats and sounds could be a career defining move for her just like how she mixed her pop sensibilities with Orbit’s sound and created an album that rejuvenated her career and revolutionised the music industry at the time.

    The thing is, aside from you, so many people on here are fixated on this idea that it was officially mentioned by Vogue and this has brought about a temper tantrum by so many people on this forum who believe it had to be released in August, September, October, NOVEMBER and even DECEMBER. Now they are wailing that they deserve the album NOW. Sure, I’m tired of waiting, M’s idea of #soon was certainly not soon enough for us and teasing Beautiful Game was a real blue balls situation, but it’s coming and everyone has got to get their tits back in place for when it does, chart success, critically acclaimed, panned or whatever the hell happens! 🤣

    What bugs me personally is the beautiful Game situation. Just because she sang a few lines from a song no one has heard before all of a sudden it was the first single then when that didn't happen people keep mentioning it as if it's a done deal like how dare she sing a few bars and not release it? Who says it's even a new song? What if it's an unreleased song? All these basic's keep going on about it and nothing was ever ever confirmed. People, the song (if it's new) may not even be on the final album! Have you even considered that? The fact that she performed some of it means NOTHING!!!!

    But Vogue never sait that. 

    Someone posted that on here from a twitter post claiming Vogue said that and then it turned out to be a lie when the interview got released. Nothing was mentioned anywhere about it being released in 2018 

    I apologise, I never saw the correction mentioned on here and I check back daily. The rest of my comment I stand behind tho.

    She got attention but i don’t think it wss substantial compared to 93. I def expected bigger hype and mania regarding her visit since she is the queen after all..

     

    The thing is she kept herself to herself the entire time. The only photo we got of her outside of the shows themselves was the one of her leaving the theatre after one of the Tears of a Clown rehearsals. There were no photos of her out jogging like in the old days or getting off the plane or at a record company party celebrating her visit. I'm not even sure they allowed any media into the gigs. It was all very low key.

    The thing about not enough hits may have some truth to it. I posted something the other day similar that my friend told me. He organises the UK fan party's. He just said if the label don't like this version we are gonna start calling her Theresa may hahaha. That's the problem with being a brand you have to deliver at some amount. I don't know if I believe it myself but this is now the second time I've heard that. He also said last year the album was delayed. Who knows. Frankly who cares. Just release the fucker.

    Personally I believe this could be the case. Vogue magazine reported that the album was due last year and that piece of information would of come either from the horses mouth or her team which has conveniently been forgotten by some people and furthermore it does not matter the stature of an artist, a record company can and WILL send them back into the studio. I dare say after the commercial performance of MDNA and Rebel Heart that it was very possible Interscope had her on a very short leash this time around, especially considering it's the last album in her contract with them. I can't believe some of you think it's weird that a record company would want a hit, it's their whole prerogative at the end of the day.

    I did stay up all night and will always remember dancing around to Holiday at 1am. It was great and I loved it, as did all the other Madonna die-hards. But a noticeable amount of people had already left by the that point, including one of my friends who had a 5am start the next day. It's definitely something that can be corrected for the next tour. I hope she comes back to Australia, I loved how much of a big deal it was to have her in the country! She made the news everyday, it was Madonna-mania!

    It wasn't quite Madonna mania but it was decinately in the news every day. The visit in '93 was Madonna mania on MJ proportions. 

    After the incident with pulling the fan's top down in Brisbane (my show) she was on every news bulletin every 30 minutes for 24 hours. From memory she was very late for the previous night's show and that too got a thrashing in the media that day. She didn't dare come on late for the second night and she didn't either.

    Some here remind me of those crazy Gaga fans that were convinced the mess her career has been since Born This Way was intentional and some sort of performance piece on the "decay of the blonde pop star" 🤣

    I feel the exact same way. People I used to have so much time for have become so sycophantic and insufferable that I just can't bare them anymore.
