    Madame X: Album Discussion

    Billboard (producer) confirms he plays drums on different Madame X tracks, so looks like he is only doing additional production.

    Also revealed how he came to work with M for RH. Dr Luke recommended him for Ghosttown after he turned down M's offer to work with him. 

    Where did this info come from? Did he give an interview?

    Dr. Luke rejected working with Madonna?!?! WOW. Wow. Sad. Can’t believe anyone in pop would say no.

    I just find it amusing how some folks were trying to insinuate (with respect to Eurovision and her reported “fee” of $1 million) that many of us had no idea how much that kind of money can buy — that the production could be done much less expensively — and thereby also implying that M was just greedy and pocketing said fee. Now, for the BBMAs, we’re talking FIVE TIMES that figure. But sure. Mama can do it “for free” — she doesn’t need any resources to deliver a mind-blowing, senses-boggling spectacle.

    (To be clear, Madonna could appear alone on stage in a no-frills costume and just sing and dance — and it would captivate me and a lot of other true blue fans. But if she’s on the attack to grab extra attention for the album and tour, clearly she wants to deliver a high-impact performance.)

    ^ There’s at least one minor translation issue ... “mente” is “mind” (not “mine,” as above). 

    Still trying to figure out exactly what everything means.

    ”Sí” means “yes” and “si” means “if” — so it is difficult to tell if they are saying “if” they fall in love, or “yes” they have fallen in love.

    It was revealed through some sort of glitch on iTunes when the album was put up for pre-order. A similar glitch revealed the album tracklisting and ended up being accurate.

    So it seems like it was the plan at least as of 1.5 weeks ago (I Rise- May 3, Crave- May 10, Future- May 17, Dark Ballet- June7)

    Thanks!

    Yes, AND the official news release does indicate select tracks will be made available prior to the album release — although the official release stopped short of identifying which ones. (It did highlight certain tracks with descriptions, so it makes it all the more likely those will be released digitally before the album.)

    So — it’s a combo of a technical glitch specifically supporting a more general piece of official information.

    Yes, exactly. Here’s the Google Doodle I was referring to, which was published on Dr. Angelou’s ninetieth birthday:

    (I posted this in the album thread... The poem is really powerful and certainly has some emotional intersections with Madonna and her artistic and personal journeys. We’ll soon see if there is any interpolation of Dr. Angelou’s poem in Madonna’s song...)

    ^ Good question — that comment had my brain whirring a bit, too.

    Unless something related to “It’s So Cool” (in 2009) got the two of them trading ideas back and forth for a bit ... and then, like you said, perhaps she shelved initial demos or something ... can’t quite figure this out. Doesn’t seem like any of the RH demos were related to Mirwais. And we haven’t really heard of any leftovers from MDNA, come to think of it...
