Msig Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 So, Ryan Tedder has nothing to do with Devil Pray? I thought he wrote it with Madonna and Blood Diamond produced it? I have no idea why Ryan Tedder has been reported as a co-writer of "Devil Pray". As confirmed by Carl Falk via Instagram, Madonna wrote "Devil Pray" with Avicii, Savan Kotecha, Carl Falk and Rami Yacoub. According to Madonna.com, the song was co-produced by DJ Dahi and Blood Diamonds. For some reason, none of the official press releases concerning the album make any mention of Avicii.

karbatal Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Something happened between Avicci and Madonna, i guess. But we don't really know, of course. But i guess something happened and my opinion (just my opinion of course, in case certain members acuse me of telling unaccurate things) is that she wasn't satisfied and wanted to look for another producer. We will know once the album is out, what happens with Rebel Heart, the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbatal Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 By the way, i think that most songs in this album were written by Madonna herself. Not only Ghosttown. And the reason why Tedder is co-author of Devil Prays instead of those people is because the production changed and the main song (written by Madonna) went to be reworked by Tedder. I can perfectly picture Madonna writting herself Joane of Arc, Messiah, Revolution, Rebel Heart.. So if production changed, Avicci is out of the credits and the new producer (if really added something remarkable) will be credited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal Coffin Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Will Avicii be bitter after this? Like Orbit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbatal Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Another thought: Those demos from ROL, before William Orbit got on board (Substitute for Love, for example), are written by Madonna herself, all alone, isn't it? Oh, how i wish i knew how many songs from other albums came from her own mind. I'm sure that songs like Hollywood, well, most of AL, and many songs from COADF were like that. Or songs like Miles Away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbatal Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Will Avicii be bitter after this? Like Orbit? Maybe. To be fair once the songs are reworked you can clearly see how generic and weak his talents are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip The Switch Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Maybe. To be fair once the songs are reworked you can clearly see how generic and weak his talents are. Kinda agree. As much I love WOAM still sounds like some Oakenfold reject for the Celebration album. Hope we get a reworked version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbatal Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I don't know. Oh, it will be so weird if those fantastic songs aren't on the album. I mean, there are 19 tracks. If half of the demos aren't there, we will end up with 24 new Madonna songs Can we all agree that certainly 2014 was year and OUR year as fans?

Nonoka Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I honestly think the mixing this time is worse than MDNA. How can anyone NOT notice the problems with the verses of Living For Love and Bitch I'm Madonna? Illuminati sounds cruchy but I think it's intentional. I don't think the mixing is worse than MDNA, except on LFL her vocals stand out much more then they did on MDNA. Plus Illuminati, for example, has a lot of different sound layers which all sound crisp. But yeah, I agree, something's off with the LFL verses. Doesn't take away anything from the amazingness of the song, but it's something that's bugging me a bit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madonna wrote the lyrics by herself, but "Gone, Gone, Gone", "Like a Flower", "No Substitute for Love" and "Revenge" were all composed by Madonna and Rick Nowells. The reason why Rick Nowells isn't credited for co-writing "Drowned World/Substitute for Love" is that musically, it's an entirely different song. It just happens to re-use most of the lyrics from "No Substitute for Love". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that mixed worse than MDNA? That's sounds excellent to me, so does ghosttown. The second verse of L4L is meant to fade like that. It was done on purpose. The mixing is fine.

It's not a problem from the mixer/sound engineer, but the person who produced it. I really don't mind it tbqh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second verse of L4L is meant to fade like that. It was done on purpose. The mixing is fine. I think his problem rather is the vocal production, the vocals sound blurred out on LFL. There definitely is distortion though in some of the tracks, like the songs were mixed at a very high volume. That's a common problem with many of today's records though.
