UPDATE: Madonna in 2007
|
 According to madonnalicious.com, Stuart Price (pictured, right, with God) - during an interview with NME.COM - announced details of the upcoming Madonna album. The album will have a "new sound", and both Madge & Stuart have been working with "top producers that are very in fashion right now".
He also added the album will be released this year.
Datarock? Vitalic? What kind of sound do you think she'll go for? I'm guessing a dancey-electro-rock, which would sit perfectly with producers like Datarock & Vitalic.
Should be a bloody good year by the sounds of things...
Hrmmm. Several other websites have reported similar stories, except from different sources. One site has claimed Stuart made the announcement on E! Television, whilst another says he made the announcement in the Daily Telegraph. Of course, none of the supposed sources have any online links, so something tells me it's all bullshit.
There's also the new report that Madge is working with PharrellWilliams (who does not deserve the bolding of his name thank you very much), which repulses me beyond belief. Something tells me this isn't true either, but god help us all if it is, I'm not sure even Madonna could make anything Pharrell touches worth listening to. They're also claiming Stuart will not be the main producer, which I think is also complete bullshit. She'd be absolutely bonkers not to use him heavily on the next album again, and I really don't think she's silly enough not to.
In the lead up to the "Confessions" album, you may remember news leaks "from Warner", claiming the album was to be called "Defying Gravity" and would be rock influenced. Then we got a record called "Confessions On A Dancefloor" that was all club stuff. What this all looks like is either a clever set of lies leaked by people with a bit of time on their hands at the Madonna Camp, or - and this is more than likely the case - fans who've nothing better to do than stir up shit on various forums.
Liz Rosenberg... can we have some kind of confirmation that Madonna wouldn't work with Williams in a million years? Has she not heard the "new" Gwen Stefani album, or, you know, anything Pharrell has done in the last 4 years? The thought of hip-hop Madonna sounds desperate, lame, and certainly not worth any kind of wait what so ever. Ugh.
Labels: Dance Music, Madonna, Stuart Price

She was at Kylies concert last night. She had a good time if reports are to be believed. Dannii was there and did a duet with Kylie. On monday your head of state of was rather chatty and forgot the lyrics to I Believe In You and laughed through the rest of it.

VERY VERY BLEAK MADONNA NEWS!!!
(From Madonna.Tribe)
We were exclusively informed that Madonna will be recording materials to include on a new album in the USA with Pharrell Williams, while rumoured producer Timbaland is not in the picture. From what we have been told Stuart Price will not be on board as a main producer for this album either, as Madonna really wants to make an American hip-hop album, that will put her in the American mainstream for a change. We have no doubt it's gonna be amazing, but in any case we have been told by our sources that it won't be happening any time soon this year.

hrmmm, something tells me this is not true. Madonna tribe's source says it's not happening this year, while Stuart said it is in an interview. I hope and pray this isn't true anyways because Pharrell Williams is, for lack of a better word, absolute fucking shit.
She's be stupid to piss Stuart off now. She's (hopefully) much smarter than that.

It's all total bullshit. There is no way she'd be working with Pharell! Esp after he worked with Gwen. She does not follow trends.

Yeah, I definitely agree. It seems incredibly odd that Madonna would work with someone like Pharell, his sound isn't very fresh, and you've hit the nail on the head with your Gwen comment.
On a side note, there was a thread a month or so back on one of the Madge forums, asking people who they'd like to see her produce with on the next album. Both Pharell & Timbaland came up (I find the Timbaland rumour hard to believe by the way), but a couple of fans actually mentioned Xenomania. I definitely think that whoever she does get involved with for the new album, there will be none of this "no stuart price" business, they'll need to work with Stuart, ala Bloodshy & Avant on Confessions.
Thinking about it, you'd expect a new album early 2008. Isn't she planning a few box sets to celebrate her 25th Anniversary in Sept/Oct?
