Guest Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Aren't the composers the producers? I think the difference is that the writers obviously write the words to the song and the composers 'compose' the melody, harmony and rhythm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luluthecat Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Oh for god sake!! I just want to know who's produced what??! Every song looks like it was written by millions of people?! Are they names written in any kind of order of who did what? Also usually M just puts her name first even if she's had the least input in the writing or producing, whereas in these credits she's first second or last?!

Oh calm the fuck down, we have the credit for the people who did the actual work of creating these songs, you dismissing all that is frankly annoying. You'll know who produced the songs soon enough.

Ai Papi Si. Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 The composers and lyricists are the same according to that list. I can't imagine it would take a half dozen people to come up with lyrics for Madonna's songs I think they just put them all under both categories cuz they info they got wasn't specific. It never is. The only liner notes that I've seen specify who wrote lyrics and melody is Lana Del Rey's Paradise and Ultraviolence albums. I think Madonna is, as usual, in charge of the words (except in cases like Girl Gone Wild or Revolver when she's basically just handed the song and she changes minor things), has direction over the melody, and co-produces. The rest of those people I'm sure came up with the skeleton of the songs but yeah… Madonna's not about to share publishing with 50 other people per song. One thing that makes me wonder if they're really going to try and get a hit out of this record is the fact that it all looks so EXPENSIVE. Look at the A-list people she worked with!!! Diplo, Ariel Reitshad, Kanyego, Toby Gad, Mozella. The best songwriters in the industry in my opinion. Madonna's not interested in blowing all that money without some returns. Fingers crost for Ghosttown then. Madonna did a perf on that ridic award show with Toilet, whored herself out to Tom Coleman and Elvis Duran. Let's get RESULTS!

Phineaspoe Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 You guys wanted the credits. Well there they are. Thank you for posting. This is getting into nerd territory but... does the order in which the composer or lyricist appear mean that they had more or less influence in the product? I say this because in HBC and WAOM Madonna appears last. I'd say those are two of the most obvious Madonna songs on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that Madonna is credited first on songs like "Don't Tell Me," "Girl Gone Wild" and "Nothing Fails." And these are songs we know for sure did not start as original M compositions.

karbatal Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 that credit list makes no sense. I can't picture Madonna working with 5 people writing LYRICS.

bangbang Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I like to think she wrote most if not all of these lyrics herself, not with 100 people, wtf is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbatal Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I just don`t know why in the last 5 years everything changed and now a song has to be composed by 10 people. Maybe now there's some kind of new law that means that if a person is in a room when a song is written, his name has to be there? Because I sincerely doubt that ICONIC lyrics were written by any other but Madonna, she can write lyrics like Iconic in a minute while she cooks breakfast.

Guest Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 ^It's been that way since Hard Candy. It's just how it is now with Madonna. It could still happen with the subsequent albums but for now long gone are the days where it's just her and her producer working solely together on an album - American Life and COAD being the best example of this. You're either credited as the writer and/or producer. If you come up with JUST the melody of a song then you're still credited as the 'writer' which gets confusing. Beyonce didn't write Irreplaceable, Ne-Yo did but Beyonce contributed to the vocal harmonies which is why she gets a songwriting credit. I'm sure Madonna still contributes to most of the writing so it's nothing to worry about. Apparently there used to be a secret official list somewhere that broke down what percentage of a song Madonna actually contributed. The percentage represented how much of the royalty Madonna gets paid for each song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amzer801 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 You can find them here on the Warner Chappell database: http://www.warnerchappell.com/composer-songs/MADONNA+%28CA%29 For instance, she gets 10% for "Justify My Love" but she's no longer credited as an additional lyricist to "Papa Don't Preach".

What happened, did they play a game and one started a sentence and the other finished it? It's cut throatIf you add any additional lyric, you get a credit You add a structure to the melody, you get a credit. It's been like this since the beginning of time, Morris Levy was an industry executive in the 1950s who attached his name to countless songs without any musical contribution, all to just cash in on the song.

HavenHigh Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Thanks for the credits! I believe they match what Tribe posted a few weeks back with Nicki Minaj correctly added for Bitch I'm Madonna (still incorrect on ASCAP). Iconic has 6 co-writers, matches Love Spent and one less than the 7 co-writers of Gang Bang, I think that's the all-time record for a Madonna song.

Amzer801 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 You have to look for the administrator's share at the bottom of the songs' pages. If M's publishing company (WB Music Corp) is the only one with a Y, then it gives you the % of royalties she earns on each song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I thought m's share would be attributed to webo girl. But did you notice that the writers are different than listed on tidal and elsewhere - eg inside out lists Sean douglas. Actually there seems to be lots of differences and multiple entries, so I might not trust that database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
