Madonna NEW ALBUM Thread: Updates and Rumours

[horn]

From William Orbit's Facebook -

I’m at the Virgin Atlantic lounge at JFK. Ready to crash right out on my night flight to London. On a bed. Feels like a heck of a lot has been achieved. Wish I could say more but you know, mums’s the word. For now. Won’t be long and all will be revealed. And more than just the specific project that has got a lot of you buzzing.

I’ll be honest, am feeling a little burnt out tonight. After these intense weeks. But I’ll be right back on it after a couple of good night’s sleep and a few bevvies with friends + family at the Groucho.

Looking forward to rotating back to the real world. It’s rather an unreal life bubble. Recording Studios, edit suites, hotels, airports, plane cabins, car services. All running 24 hours. As if the cycle of day and night did not exist. Soon I’ll take a step out into the wild natural world and feel the season. Breathe the winter air and absorb the silence (and not the absolute silence of the studio, but the silence of the animal kingdom, dreaming).

But MSR has been great studio to work in. Situated in a side street just off the bright lights of Times square. A nondescript door above a dilapidated music shop that opens onto a warren of studios, coridors and unused spaces. Three old buildings welded together in the heart of mid-town Manhattan, only half of the space being used (stumbled into an derelict strip club the other day when I was exploring the building) Working through the night. Bass pounding at times enough to lift the chair off the floor. Or total silence apart from the clicking of computer keys.

Am being a bit rambling now as I sit here, with a couple of beers, and a Jameson, with Alan, my trusty PA and good friend, looking forward to getting back home. He’s sorted out the shipping, freight, paperwork, transportation, in conjunction with AAM, and I’m in zombie mode. Him too, really, as our mission for the moment is done., We’re’ghost’ as our engineer, Demo, put it. ‘Thousand yard stare’. But feeling like that we’ve part of a special moment in all of our careers. Including M’s. Who, I have to say has amazed me anew in unexpected ways during the last few months.

It was great earlier tonight to head downtown and see all the wonderful folk at my management company (AAM). Andy Kipnes (my manager) and Ross Donadio also discussed with me my new Strange Cargo album which is all but finished. And some other song projects that I will pick up one once M’s and my new album are mastered at the end of this month

So over and out now for a while. Offline for a couple of days.

Btw. Who’s going to be in Las Vegas at New Years?

I’ve booked the Studio at Palms Casino, Las Vegas again this year. Witrh Jean Baptiste, Priscilla Renea, Swedish House Mafia, and other friends and songwriting pals. For a week of partying and writing. Just like the week we had last new-years, which kicked everything off.

They’re calling my flight now

See you all again soon!

MADONNARAMA: Back in September, Live Nation and Universal Music announced their collaboration and soon the rumours about Universal Music releasing Madonna’s 2012 album started.

Now it’s official, Madonna’s upcoming album will be released in France by Polydor Records, a record label owned by Universal Music Group. Polydor is also the label for other artists such as Lady Gaga and Janet Jackson.

Polydor France teased its followers on Twitter with the following tweet :

A huge international artist will be releasing it’s upcoming album with Universal – Polydor in France. More info soon! Any ideas?

Afterwards they confirmed who it was by posting a YouTube link to Madonna’s song “Frozen”.

http://www.madonnarama.com/posts-en/2011/11/02/madonna-and-lady-gaga-share-the-same-record-company/#ixzz1cZ6hAHiH

MADONNATRIBE: When Madonna recored her cover of "Santa Baby" for the 1987 charity album "A Very Special Christmas" in 1987, her version of the popular hit was produced by Jimmy Iovine.

Today, Iovine is chairman of Interscope-Geffen-A&M, a Los Angeles based umbrella label owned by Universal Music Group.

And guess what's the label for which Madonna has signed an exclusive deal - to be officially announced very soon - for her 2012 album? Interscope, of course.

http://www.madonnatribe.com/news/index.php

In 2007 Madonna and Livenation shocked the music industry with a massive $120million dollar deal.

The deal with Live Nation encompasses future music and music-related businesses, including the Madonna brand, albums, touring, merchandising, fan club and Web site, DVDs, music-related television and film projects, and associated sponsorship agreements.

Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino said in the statement that Madonna will be the founding artist in its new Artist Nation division, created to partner with musicians to manage their diverse rights and provide global distribution and marketing.

“I am thrilled that Madonna, who is also now a shareholder in our company, has joined with us to create a new business model for our industry,” Rapino said. “Bringing all the varied elements of Madonna’s stunning music career into the Artist Nation and Live Nation family, moves her future and the future of our company into a unique and extraordinary place.”

Live Nation Entertainment is the world's leading live entertainment and eCommerce company, comprised of four market leaders: Ticketmaster.com, Live Nation Concerts, Front Line Management Group and Live Nation Network.

Universal is the world's no1 label and it owns labels like Interscope and Island in the US and Polydor in the UK.

from madonnarama.com:

As a few (not always accurate) parts of the “Give Me All Your Love” lyrics have leaked, Madonnarama decided to finally reveal the complete lyrics of Madonna’s lead single.

According to our source, these aren’t from the final version, but from the demo version that only includes Madonna and the backing vocals.

Keep in mind that this is one of the fun, radio friendly tracks and absolutely perfect for the Super Bowl. The overall album contains much more deeper and personal lyrics.

L-U-V Madonna

Y-O-U You wanna

I see you coming and I don’t wanna know your name

L-U-V Madonna

I see you coming and you’re gonna have to change the game

Y-O-U You wanna

Would you like to try?

Give me a reason why

Give me all that you got

Maybe you’ll do fine

As long as you don’t lie to me

And pretend to be what you’re not

(Chorus)

Don’t play the stupid game

Cause I’m a different kind of girl

Every record sounds the same

You’ve got to step into my world

Give me all your love and give me your love

Give me all your love today

Give me all your love and give me your love

Let’s forget about time

And dance our lives away

L-U-V Madonna

Y-O-U You wanna

Keep trying don’t give up, it’s if you want it bad enough

L-U-V Madonna

It’s right in front of you, now tell me what you’re thinking of

Y-O-U You wanna

In another place, at a different time

You can be my lucky star

We can drink some wine

Burgundy is fine

Let’s drink the bottle every drop

(Chorus)

Don’t play the stupid game

Cause I’m a different kind of girl

Every record sounds the same

You’ve got to step into my world

Give me all your love and give me your love

Give me all your love today

Give me all your love and give me your love

Let’s forget about time

And dance our lives away

(Bridge)

You have all the L-U-V

I gave you everything you need

Now it’s up to Y-O-U

Are you the one, shall we proceed?

M-A-D Don’t make me

L-U-V It’s time for

Y-O-U It’s up to

L-U-V I want your

(Chorus)

Don’t play the stupid game

Cause I’m a different kind of girl

Every record sounds the same

You’ve got to step into my world

Give me all your love and give me your love

Give me all your love today

Give me all your love and give me your love

Let’s forget about time

And dance our lives away

[Supernatural]

it's really amazing that a new era is upon us, no other pop star has been so consistant for so long

[ADUSTIO]

I have a feeling the song is going to be similar to this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--HO8h1vCYk&feature=player_embedded#!

S*T*A*R that's what you are

Cause you're big in Japan

You're big in Japan

I got a phone call

From across the hall

People knocking on doors...

[horn]

I'm very happy that she had chosen UM to distribute her new album.

Warner was poor in promoting her album... I mean they're doing it in a very minimum way just to save cost.

Whereas for Universal Music, they are very good and generous when it comes to album promoting.

[Guest Not4Pussies]

can't wait for the new single comparisons to Hello

[Guest PatrikEugene]

can't wait for the new single comparisons to Hello

HAHAHAHA!!! I hope there won't be any of them, but I agree with you.

[elijah]

Lets hope the songs produced by Solveig sound more like Lets Not Play Games and not like Hello.

[Bill]

Robster, someone with 500 posts isn't about to ask ME to leave.

I was joking anyway...

[Guest Not4Pussies]

the majority of solveig's songs are sounding the same. check the video ADUSTIO posted Big In Japan, at the 45 second mark, that annoying sound he makes in all of his songs.

[robster]

Robster, someone with 500 posts isn't about to ask ME to leave.

I was joking anyway...

I was also being sarcastic I know I'm in no position to ask anyone to leave Even though I have been around for AGES! I might not post that much anymore, but I'm quite an old-timer in Madonna forum land haha

[Bill]

Sorry I remember you very well from the Madonnamad days

[Get Together]

Even though we only get 9 seconds from it, the song sounds sooo good and euphoric, lifting up my arms and my pu$$y!! I cannot WAIT to dance my ass off with M again

[freddykrueger86]

check the video ADUSTIO posted Big In Japan, at the 45 second mark, that annoying sound he makes in all of his songs.

Yep, annoying.

I hope he refined his style for Madonna and didn't destroy her songs with something as annoying as this. But well, there are awalys some people that have love for annoying stuff and call it "ART " . . .

[Chuck82]

Well Madonna does have a way of making the producers (minus Timblandland) she works with achieve that "Madonna" sound. None of the stuff Pharell did for her really sounded like anything he had done before with any other artist.

[Bill]

you were so strange to me but so right

and i slept right through that endless night

the moon and the stars watched us sleep

and wished they knew of a love so deep

time stood still as we faced the future

it seemed so real we could reach into her

and grab a piece of our life together

and stretch it out to make it last forever

but

what goes up must come down

as they say

we crashed into the ground

and faded away

chorus:

a thousand miles an hour

we soared through space and time

and just as quickly as it started

so came the end of the line

and i don't know

just how things go

in this crazy world of love

but i do know

if you didn't go

i could never get enough

your love got me through

now what do i do

[Bill]

chorus:

when i'm down and out in the dumps

in the dumps

i can count on you for a lift

and if the road we ride is full of bumps

full of bumps

we'll just pull over for a bit

'cause the world may shut us out sometimes

but we can shut it out right back

love without limits, that's how we roll

ain't nothing wrong with that

[Supernatural]

^not Madonna lyrics

[Bill]

never thought i'd be thinking of you this way again

wondering how you are

and what you're doing

and if i'd be able to get a hold of you

if i wanted to

i thought i moved on from all this a long time ago

the feelings were gone

glad it was over

and i could go on with my life alone

all on my own

chorus:

we had our time

but it's not now

wanna shut you out

but i don't know how

you have this grip

and you won't let go

i left you behind

many years ago

but now you're back

my impossible friend

you broke me before

but you won't again

gonna run away

do whatever it takes

'cause i'm not gonna make

the same mistakes

you're yesterday

that's where you need to stay

oh no, this is not exactly a pleasant surprise

you were miles and years

away from me

but you've crept back in uninvited

and i'm not excited

some things are just better left in the past

not often do i feel that way

but with you

it's the only option i ever had

to stop being sad

chorus

you're not welcome back here

you left me with the strangest mix of emotions

and memories

and i don't care to relive them again

many years it took me to realize

i'm better off without you in my life

-break-

chorus

having you for a friend was not enough for me

i wanted a love that could never be

but you couldn't give it

and i can't relive it

so i'd rather you just let me be

[Bill]

^not Madonna lyrics

I'm just sayin... that's all .... don't know how much truth is behind them.

[Supernatural]

I'm just sayin... that's all .... don't know how much truth is behind them.

Solveig's sound is cool, if a bit impersonal - I'd love her to do dance/pop/electronic (as I expect this album will be), but hope she has a bit of a twist on it...Britney had it right with the dubstep influences on Femme Fatale, that's foward thinking - no other pop princess was doing that. It's dubstep and 90's house that would be the most 'thinking ahead' styles she could go for.

WOW, the album will be mastered by the end of November... so going by this article, can we say that the vocal recordings have been finished?

[horn]

Erm... well, before "Celebration" was released, Paul Oakenfold said almost the same thing as WO i.e. completely new sound blah blah blah and at the end we get....

Oh well.

But personally I think WO is more reliable.
