I have heard everything from "she wasn't invited" to "she turned the offer to appear on the song down flat".
Anyone know for sure?
maybe her ego said no!?
besides wasn't cyndi lauper asked instead??
-
^^
he is....'Fascinating Rhythm' by his project Bass-O-Matic (UK #9 1990) still one of my favourite singles of the 90's...
-
Don't forget "Into The Groove" on YCD/TIC, fans often say that "Shep took out the R&B of the track".
unforgivable imo re what he did to 'Into The Groove' - and actually whilst mentioning 'The Immaculate Collection'....didn't care at all for 'his versions' of 'Holiday', 'Material Girl' or 'Express Yourself' either
-
not at all fussed what it's called, what's on it or the whole project - M merely going through contractural obligations with her ex record label...sooner its released the better; she can then hopefully move on to more 'natural' progressive musical choices in the near future...

"Interesting the you mention a reworking of ‘Drowned World’. That could be very good, I was speculating on that just the other day. The original demos sound magical and golden. But I’d only do it as an exercise in musical possibilities for myself. M doesn’t look backwards readily and there are, naturally, Warner Bros considerations which are way above my head."
personally 'Drowned World' grows old very gracefully...a reworking? didn't think as co writer/co producer he'd need the ok from M and more worringly from WB?!

Jealous of Mirwais
not to be taken out of context...
"Did I really say that I was ‘Jealous’? I never get jealous. But ‘envious’ maybe, And I only put it that way as a tribute to the man. I cannot sound the way he does even if I try and I truly appreciate that kind of musicality when it’s done as well as that! I would be interested to know what he is up to these days. Meanwhile, I’m very happy in my own sonic world, although still pushing away at the borders"

as a follower of William Orbit on twitter, followed comments to his own blog were he answers some Q's re M...
http://www.williamorbit.com/blog
head to the 'comments' section...and click on 'reply' to whichever Q....it's not all about M obviously, but does indeed make quite interesting reading...
example:
I had to listen to the ‘Music’ album tracks on which I’d participated the other day for something that Warners had requested. I cringed when I heard ‘American Pie’. A song that truly deserves it’s place at the top of the ‘worst-ever-cover-versions’ roll of dishonour! What were we thinking?
But ‘Runaway Lover’ sounded so good. It has stood the test of time very well and has a superb vocal from M. She very much sculpted the way that it sounds on the album. I was a bit spaced out during that one I recall and Mark (Spike) Stent did an excellent mix.
What really got me thinking is that the song ‘Amazing’ did not ever reach its full potential. i would love to mix that one again. There are elements that didn’t make it to the final. What else?, … ‘Gone’ is sort of alright.
he still speaks in high regard of his work with M...

I can EXCLUSIVELY reveal that Madonna is rerecording one of her early singles, which she consideres 'the ultimate one that got away', to be the lead single on her upcoming 'Greatest Hits & Best Of The Rest' 4 CD package.
Until next time, 'EVERYBODY'
not ANOTHER exclusive Mr N?
-
yeah right
absolutely true
lost interest in the whole HC project mid summer....and it really has not improved since....
can't wait for this whole 'project' to be finished!
-
might be time for me to revisit the album - not listened for about 9 months...
-
lack of major music related shows UK these days
rather her do this than sucumb to the dross of O'Grady or Loooose Women!!!
-
As Time Goes By (Marianne Faithful)
Kiss (Prince)
-
the It? or The S*n, one of the same surely?
-
pic used for the 'Angel' single (US/UK...)
-
So after the 4th tour in 2014 you think she won't do anything till 2017 when her contract finishes? She has 3 studio albums lined up, it would make sense to tour all of them.
...and in order for M & LN to make any money at all - she'll have little choice to tour all of them!
-
And just think, with Leona's total sales of Spirit over 2.3 million (and counting), it means 1 in every 30 people in this country own this album in some format or another. Walk down a busy high road and SHIVER at that statistic every time you pass 30 people.
Quite shocking really.
i'm not 1 of those 30....which isn't necessarily a 'true' statistic...some ppl may have multiple copies of LL album?
-
will be quite pleased when it ends ....M needs a much deserved rest....and come back refreshed.
tho can't wait for the DVD...whenever that may happen
-
So basically she's filming another video..not recoding a concert..yawn.
which is what tends to happen on most tours isn't it? including M's?
-
A friend of mine who is really into music didn't even know she had an album out shortly after its release.
obviously not that into music....because when HC was due - it was announced just about everywhere
-
Which is why she's an act of YESTERYEAR there.
or maybe that the US charts - esp the Hot 100 is no longer relevant or reflective on what people actually buy??
-
to be honest, and at this precise moment in time - i'm hoping she has at least a 3 yr break from touring....for her own good as much as anything....
-
It's sad that some people feel that stealing music is justifiable.
just as sad is that for all of M's career Warners have consistently 'ripped' off her own fans, left right and centre?
never been 'value' for money corporate organistion has it? and thats not just aimed at Warners either??
-
The nature of the charts has changed. Many hits from one album or long lasting streaks will be rare (and I mean not just for Madonna). Also I don't think that a video or TV appearances would matter a lot to MA chart position, but perhaps they could have helped the album, which is the point in releasing a 3rd or 4th single anyway.
of course it has, and will continue to change too....i thought M had left Warners already? So why is she gonna be fussed promoting this single?
Obv Warners couldn't be bothered to push for a video either....and the mixes weren't that great either?
and missing the UK Top 40 [possibly] - she's in good company, after a dozen top 20 hits Coldplay's new 'single' fell from its chart peak of #54!!
-
credit crunch don't help things either
Why was Madonna not in "We are the world"?
in ARCHIVE - Madonna

good idea!
but either way surely by now it would have been well documented?
talking of managers...Freddy DeMann would have been hers? had he long gone by then from being MJ's??
did he and MJ camp part amicably i wonder?
