Alessandro Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 For people who are wondering what Patrick Leonard has being doing recently... he wrote and produced a song for/with Dutch singer Ilse DeLange. The song is called Blue Bittersweet and it was released last year. Many people thought this was a Madonna/Daft Punk song when it was released here in the Netherlands... wow she does sound like Madonna and DaftPunk ... wow ..love the melodies
elijah Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Uou!!! Patrick is great! This kind of album of Madonna would be cool as fuck! Hope she does the album with him and Joe! It sounds like the classic Madonna and its sophisticated, classy and just perfect! She ll be great if she reunites with Pat!
jonski43 Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 What was last thing Leotard produced for her? LAP album? Didn't he co- write Skin on rol and he was upset about what Madonna did to the song? I also thought he'd worked with her on the defunct Hello suckers project in 2003?

Guest Not4Pussies Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 madonna should work with Blood Orange!! i wonder if she knows who he is. he is a songwriter/producer and artists himself. i bet she would work with him in a heartbeat he has written songs for grace jones, sky ferreira, solange, kylie minogue, florence and the machine and he recently wrote two songs for britney's britney jean but they didnt make the album. http://youtu.be/Y9NgvhuCoEQ
karbatal Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 If Madonna has heard the song maybe that's why she was interested. It's a great Pat Leonard track and with Madonna's vibe could be really BIG.
Guest Not4Pussies Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 patrick leonard also wrote the music to I Am Because We Are

Yes he wrote:"Skin" NRM" , Sky Fits heaven & Frozen. He co-produced Sky Fits heaven & Frozen, To have adn not to hold & Power of Goodbye
dollhouse Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 I dont trust Leotards production skills, just like Madge doesn't. He can write some songs, but let someone else produce. The track above has horrid and lame production.
Pressston Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 It's surprising many people don't know Pat Leonard has co-written/produced half of the Ray Of Light album ! and yes, she also called him to produce her musical "Hello Suckers" in 2004 and to make to the music of "I am because we are" in 2008 so as a matter of fact she never "scrapped" him and works with him regularly over the years. I think he's one of the few songwritter/producer, if not the only one from her early career in the 80's she always kept on working with all along her career : 1985 - 1986 - 1987 - 1989 - 1994 - 1998 - 2004 - 2008. So it wouldn't be really shocking and surprising if he is on board this time again, by the look of the this chronology she works with him every 4/5 years.

It's incredible, listening to this song you can hear Madonna singing on it, i'm not talking about the voice of the girl, but the "essence" of the song, the feelings, the emotions...Really, no one can capture her emotions like Leonard, it's like his lyrics/productions are made for M...

dollhouse Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 I miss Stephen Bray. These days I feel his work with Madonna even more than Leotards..

ryan Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Doesn't coming up with the composition entitle you a writing credit?
Nikki Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 i prefer pharrell and nile over daft punk. but yes leonard is the one that brings classic madonna! they are perfect together, like quincy jones and MJ.
ryan Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 i'm not big on the phrase "classic madonna." it's very "janet + jimmy jam terry louis." where's bluejean?
Nikki Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 well how else should we say it? he brings out the best in her and she brings out the best in him. almost every song they worked on together became a madonna "classic".
ryan Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 i was just a bit semi serious. it's just the first thing i think of when I hear it. that's all
Nikki Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 yeah it's all good. didn't get the sense u were attacking me or anyone using the term "classics" just don't really know how else to describe his work with M
Shane Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 I love Ingrid Didn't she just cowrite JML, though?? I know most of M's songwriting credits by heart, and I can't think of another contribution by Ingrid.

Yes he wrote:"Skin" NRM" , Sky Fits heaven & Frozen. He co-produced Sky Fits heaven & Frozen, To have adn not to hold & Power of Goodbye I'm pretty sure he was disappointed thatSkin was turned into a dance track when it was originally a slow song I addition to LAP. Can anyone back me up?
rb19 Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Didn't she just cowrite JML, though?? I know most of M's songwriting credits by heart, and I can't think of another contribution by Ingrid. That's a different Ingrid
tumbleweedt Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Warner wanted Frozen, while Madge: ROL. I think Warner were right. Pat Leonard means classic Madonna, so I more than welcome this collaboration. Daft Punk sounds cool, but I much prefer Leonard and Henry as songwriters. Whoever produces the solid material would not be relevant. AGREE with the primacy of a solid foundation of songwriting!
vocalism Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Didn't she just cowrite JML, though?? I know most of M's songwriting credits by heart, and I can't think of another contribution by Ingrid. She didn't co-write it. Ingrid wrote it with Lenny Kravitz and Lenny gave it to Madonna, who changed the vocal arrangement and thus got a writing credit. I don't think she really changed much. It was like a GGW type of situation.
rocknrolla Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Yep, I remember reading Madonna changed one line. The Ingrid woman ended up accepting only 1/4 of the royalties. She admitted being satisfied with the arrangement since she still made quite a bit of money from the deal.
rocknrolla Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 The difference between Madonna and the Jacksons is that she has had many hits-- Vogue, Hung Up, Don't Tell Me, Music, ROL, etc. without Patrick Leonard. Micheal and Janet could not do this without Quincy and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. I'd much rather see her work with Joe Henry again, or other songwriters. While I love their work together, I don't think they could top what they've already done, and I'd like to see her go in a new direction. Even on the ROL album, I strongly prefer the tracks Pat was NOT involved with. The only one I like is Frozen, and that seems to basically be a rewrite of Open Your Heart.
