datf Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 the n-th coming of veronica ethnica electronica. seeing ethnic and oriental does make the album sound promising. at least we know we're probably not gonna see her booty get down like.

HolidayGuy Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 What M does best is dance-pop that merges both art and commerce- just straight, commercial dance-pop was fine early in her career, but even then those songs were elevated by other factors (i.e. "Holiday," with the brilliance of its beneath-the-surface meaning). Fun, disposable pop is best left to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijah Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I think if half of what is written in the article is true - this album would be brilliant. Lets hope she is indeed helped with the lyrics - Joe Henry is a very good choice - I see solid writing in DTM, Jump, DWERY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshade Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 What tidbits? The report doesn't include one iota of news. Obviously they would have included Solveig in their recap which basically is a recap of a fan debate going on various message boards of how M writes or rather doesn't write songs. There r no new Solveig rumors floating around the internet...so there's nothing 2 pass off as exclusive. It's so transparent. Well, the ethnic music influence is a new piece. William Orbit writing lyrics is new. I am not saying it's all true, but this is the fun part about a new album - following the rumors and waiting to see which ones turn out to be true. If they are false then I guess we will be REALLY surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean Joe Henry wrote lyrics 4 the songs they actually wrote together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adreeyen Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I don't get what the problem is. He's primarily a writer. On Kelis's newest album, he did writing and like no producing. With the Black Eyed Peas's The E.N.D., he co-wrote one four songs. The only song he's credited to producing (so far in my research) is Boom Boom Pow, which was co-produced with two other people.

SkyHigh76 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 If Jean Baptiste is involved,I am thrilled! I love the work he did on the Black Eyed Peas' 'The E.N.D.' album.He co-wrote "Meet Me Halfway" which I love.When I first heard this song,I thought of Madonna.It's exactly the type of song that she needs! In the chorus,Fergie sounds like Madonna in the 80s. Jean also co-produced "Boom Boom Pow" which is just incredible.I hope Madonna allows him to not only write,but co-produce a few tracks too.He's very talented.

elijah Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I loathe Black Eye Peas. I hope this Jean Baptiste Kouame contribution is filtered and alerted and fixed by Orbit. I d hate if M records shit music as the Black Eye Peas or the horrible Fergie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GimmeSomeMo Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 She is best remembered for the commercial assembly line pop. Yeah she's a regular Britney Spears I mean I love Britney but apart from a couple of True Blue-WTG era songs Madonna doesn't have a single generic sounding song. You invariably make the most moronic Madonna related comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madonna Bowie Prince Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I agree with HolidayGuy and GSM. Madonna has made a few generic sounding songs (e.g. Causing a Commotion, half of the True Blue album etc) but other than that her songs are unique, even stuff like Like a Virgin, Holiday etc were very unique (in terms of mainstream pop songs) for their time. Actually believe it or not most people I talk to regarding Madonna seem to remember not only her "commercial assembly line" 80s pop songs but her later stuff too, I've talked to people who have sighted stuff like Music, Don't Tell Me, Ray of Light, Frozen, Hung Up, Secret hell even American Life as their favorite Madonna song and those are far from "generic".

HolidayGuy Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Exactly. "Commercial assembly pop line" would be an apt description for some other acts- but not Madonna. She made mainstream pop exciting, because most of her material was not generic (whether thematically or sonically). Hopefully, the upcoming album continues in her tradition of merging art and commerce (which she didn't really do with Hard Candy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumpb4uthink Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 That's what we need - maistream pop that is exciting and fresh. I feel we got that with Like a Prayer and Ray of Light. It all came together as classic Madonna in a surprise package with no gimimicks and booties. It might be asking for too much but I just want a eventful album with great melodies and insightful lyrics that I can say wow again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elements of COADF (my current favorite M album... it changes a lot) and Bedtime Stories as well. American Life is too polarizing to the fan community, much less the general pop-music buying public that still doesn't know it even exists, but it certainly has its fresh moments too. She's gonna bring it with this new album. I'm not worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
