Bretticus Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Hoping for a Madonna vocal or two on the new album perhaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaything Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 It’s crazy when you think about this album finally coming out 20 years after his last solo album (although we got the excellent YAS album, but still...)! I have high hopes for insane production, new ideas and futuristic sounds. I hope it’s not too pretentious...we will see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erotica blu Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I want them to continue working together. I feel the results for Madame X were sort of mixed. But I suspect that had more to do with the direction Madonna wanted to go in. Extreme Occident is the masterpiece of this particular collaboration.

Not for me: God Control, Medellín, Ciao Bella, Extreme Occident, Killers Who Are Partying, Batuka...all wonderfully done in my book. You could be right about M involvement though. Just about the same with tour films and music videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it’s no coincidence that the Mirwais-produced tracks fill the first half of Madame X..because they set the tone, are sonically interesting and are different to anything that’s out there. I wish he had co-produced the entire album. At the same time I can’t with some of the production choices. Dark Ballet needed more time to breathe and would have worked better as a 6 minutes epic. The vocals effects on Batuka will never not be annoying..which is a real shame because otherwise it’s a great song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For DB, after the Tchaikovsky breakdown, i expected the song to pick up in a way similar to the Nobody Knows Me instrumental outro part, but with more punch and drama.

Oh, I can see what you mean there. I was hoping for another “movement” after the ballet, too, rather than a conclusion/coda (which is just a brief return to the refrain and a fade-out). I guess I kind of hoped maybe the tour version would maybe expand on it a little bit, too. It is still beautiful in its own way, though. I think, on some level, that track is not supposed to be fully satisfying in and of itself. It interrupts itself and ends abruptly— but that’s just the form following the message of the song maybe? With Joan of Arc as a template — her life was disrupted and cut short. I think there’s a certain respectable quality to the track reflecting those sad facts. Doesn’t mean that our ears aren’t left wanting more, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to be one more "movement" but still love it nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknrolla Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I think Mirwais's production on Madame X was so much more varied on Madame X vs American Life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Also, if MDNA would have been produced entirely by Martin alone, I think it would have been her most uplifting, upbeat, cheerful, summer album ever!! I don’t care what anyone says, Give Me All Your Luvin and Turn Up The Radio are extremely catchy and fun. Beautiful Killer is everybody’s favorite. This lighthearted Solveig sound throughout the whole album would have been a dream come true! Unfortunately, as much as I loved Orbit’s songs, and I’m Addicted, the album ended up having no direction. It was all over the place. Gang Bang, Masterpiece, I Don’t Give A, Falling Free.... all sound like songs from completely different albums, like wtf?

I wonder if she blames him for bungling things up. I highly doubt she cares at all about that. I've said it before and I'll say it again -- Mirwais gave Madonna a "sound". Everything they've produced together has sounded effortlessly cool, and she should keep him around for the long haul from here on out as Executive Producer while still exploring other genres and songwriters.
