The MDNA Thread

Yes, thanks for posting the video of Martin. His comment about the snare drum and her changing the levels (and marking the console :lol: ) remind me of those comments from Dean and Dan (of DSquared) about creating costumes for the DWT... how meticulous she is down to the details -- about changing something in the tailoring of a piece of clothing, or calculating how high she could lift her leg based on the weight of the fabric, etc. -- and so she insisted on them changing something back that they changed, thinking it would go unnoticed by her. Wrong! I love that she's so detail-oriented.

I posted this in another thread (the William Orbit LUV thread) but I'm going to post it here, too, since groovyguy so kindly posted the link to that Flick interview with Orbit...

Here's a close paraphrase of what William Orbit says in the interview about the unique qualities of Madonna's voice:

"Having a unique voice in a world of singers -- you know, crowded market! There aren't many singers in the world who the sound of their voice, the sound of their phrasing, is uniquely them... and Madonna is definitely right at the front of them. To get technical for a minute -- because I study these things -- her modulation is threefold. She has a modulation of volume (tremulando), she has a modulation of frequency (vibrato), and she has a modulation of tone (equalization). It's very complex, and she has a huge expressiveness about her voice. I mean, even the way she breathes is absolutely -- and it's passionate, there's a passion there. It's why the fans love her so much. ... There's so much to her voice that is so special. It's easy to forget that... because the songs are so good, the production's so good, the presentation live is so good -- everything's so good that you don't really focus on that [the voice], but it's a really important part of why I like working with Madonna."

MDNA hits the stores!

Live From Asia - The release date for Madonna's MDNA in Singapore is March 22 and therefore the lucky fans from the beautiful South-East Asian city-state are the first in the world to get their copies of the new album in the stores today.

Australia will follow shortly thanks to the Time Zone advance from GMT, and tomorrow it will be the turn of several European countries including Germany, Ireland and The Netherlands.

Are you ready for MDNA?

I love him, he always has great things to say about M. I'll admit even *I* as a hardcore Madonna loon overlook the importance of her voice when assessing her success. It's as essential to her success as that unusual "spark" she has when performing live.

It's kind of amazing and a bit sad at the same time that with all the unprecedented, massive success she's had and the accolades from nearly every producer/songwriter she's worked with that she still doesn't get the props she deserves for her musical abilities. She even said herself she's no Prince, but the woman has that intangible SOMETHING.
