Madonna's new album: coming in 2019

[rebelheart]

Do we think she will shoot the album artwork/cover while in New York before Xmas?

[Jessica Rabbit]

I would love for her to sing in spanish! Or other languages. I personally enjoy it.

so... i think it's time to call Xavier Dolan to direct one of her videos. They follow each other on instagram. He must be easy to get. I'm tired of Jonas Akerlund

I love his work! As an actor and director.  Did he direct the Hello video for Adele? 

[Jessica Rabbit]

Yes he directed Hello.   He’s also a fan of Madonna.  Has said so.

let's all leave a begging note about it on his Instagram!!  I am doing it now. 

IT would be amazing!!!!!!

Just listened to Dance with me by Niles Rodgers. Wish he was involve somehow now. It would kill a lead single in that vibe for M.

I wonder if they are going to be releasing any physical formats for the singles. She’s going to need those cd singles or 12” if she wants a push in the charts.

M’s team aren’t smart enough to release physicals for the collectible female artist of all time. Even if they did release something they’d be so ugly it would’nt be worth handing over your hard earn cash for (look at the RH physicals). Just imagine you could have an original 12x12 Aldo Diaz artwork sitting in your living room -

I don’t think she will start on the promo stuff until January now. 

I think she will enjoy the holidays now with her kids.

Your probably right but still hoping she does the shoot in the next few weeks...dying to know the photographer this time round!

radio hardly touched her new stuff anyway im not saying it would have been a hit but the meaning behind the song and the song is really good

They wouldn’t have played BIM either! Devil Pray definitely should’ve been a single with a “controversial” video in the vein of the Interview shoot by Mert & Marcus.

Thats your opinion but I think Rebel Heart is her best album in ages. Devil Pray is incredible and 100% Madonna. 

I’ve said it before - M’s new album has very strong competition in RH.

Devil Pray was and still is a great fucking song.

I desperately wanted that to be a single, but it wasn't meant to be., Such a great track.

La Isla Bonita is a classic song, and she sing some parts in spanish. 

2 lines =/= a whole song

[Douglaslisboa]

So we gonna have Veras for the first time in the setlist? 

 

 

[karbatal]

Spanish has nothing to do with Portuguese. Why would she sing anything in Spanish? It's as different as French or Italian or Romanian.

The title "Candy Shop" was too close to 50-Cent's song, that's partly why "4 Minutes" was prefereed.

No.

4 minutes was chosen cause it featured Justin Timberlake,

Yes and because during the listening party everybody preferred it over HC ( she said she was surprised)..and, in my opinion, it was the best choice

[cocolattee]

I'm so here for another Johan Renck video
He helped create 2 of Madonna's most iconic looks

....or bring back Stephane Sednaoui or Mondino.

They are not worlds apart. If you can speak one language, you can understand the other roughly. Canadian Portuguese singer Nelly Furtado prefers to release her records in Spanish language instead of Portuguese. The biggest difference is primarily the pronunciation:

Spanish: ¿Hay una diferencia esencial entre el español y el portugués?

Portuguese: Há uma diferencia essencial entre o espanho e o português?

M could be given the hottest track by the hottest producer of the moment and it still wouldn’t automatically guarantee her a hit! 

Just look at this year’s hottest thing Camila Cabello, flopping with her Pharrell produced and written track Sagria Wine (utter shite IMO), it had a massive push and went nowhere. 

I don’t think M is completely passive, I think she’s got a very strong idea of what she wants when it comes to re-working songs. She’s  turned down huge tracks in the past, so I dont think people aren’t offering her them.

Exactly! It seems like there's no "formula" that guarantees a hit these days.....for ANY artist, much less Madonna. Furthermore, as fast as things move, a somewhat successful "formula" in October, may be a complete an utter failed approach by March. Song quality seems to be at the bottom of the list of things that = a hit these days....lots of boring, monotonous, tired, shit songs that fly up the charts. We know streaming is important for any artist trying to have a "hit" these days but outside of that, it seems like different things work for different artists. Beyonce releases her 15th surprise album and the world shuts down and it shifts 800k in two days, another BIG artist could do the same thing and the response would be *crickets*.

As you mention, the hottest artist releasing a song with a hot producer can push a song and it fails.....another hot artist can drop a song and go hibernate for 3 months and it'll fly up the charts. No guaranteed formula for a "hit". That must make it incredibly hard for a nearly 40 year music veteran in their 60's. I think fans need to cut the woman a break and realize, a hit, while not impossible, would be the exception, not the norm and we should have ZERO expectations when it comes to that. I think we need to chill out with bashing all these divas for their "flops" when...well...in a few months....we may be eating crow...lol....btw, that's ZERO reflection on the quality of her work. Commercially though, it's only going to get harder and harder for our girl. That's just the way it is at this point.

This, my first language Is French so I could roughly understand anything in Portuguese, Italian or Romanian if said slowly. Spanish is even easier for me to understand.

[karbatal]

I'm Spanish and I don't think anybody who has a Portuguese-influenced album should sing anything in Spanish as they are two very different cultures. 

[Crazy4MadonnaVzla]

I think that we need to remember there's a song tentative called Medellín and perhaps Maluma is singing in that song. We heard some vallenato accordion in one of hers stories, maybe she sings in spanish... Spanish and portuguese came from latin.

[Bretticus]

She can sing everything in pigeon english for all I care, just gimme new music!!

[Miphiwart]

Do we think thats for a shooting?
