Madonna & Nicki Minaj Collaborate On Song Produced By Diplo

Diplo and Skrillex recently sat down with Ebro, Peter Rosenberg and Laura Stylez on their Hot 97 “The Morning Show” for an interview, which you can watch below.

During the 10:25 mark of the interview, Diplo mentions that he produced a “ridiculous” beat for Madonna and Nicki Minaj. There is currently no release date just yet for the collaboration, but it will appear on Madonna‘s upcoming thirteenth studio album.

Madonna to perform on X Factor live final?

According to reports, Madge is due to appear on the talent show's live final but only if she 'approves of the line-up'.

The superstar is said to have been persuaded by the show's creator, Simon Cowell, to perform on the final, but before excited mounts - there are apparently terms and conditions.

A source said: "Madonna will have been provisionally booked because the final can be subject to change if an artist doesn't approve of the finalists - especially if they have agreed to sing with them. "Someone like Madonna will want a lot of creative control over her appearance, but for Simon the ratings will worth it."

The source added: "She has been told that her label will be expected to pay for any stage props and backing dancers she brings with her".

It is no doubt the 56-year-old will boost the ITV show's ratings if she appears on their stage on December 13.

At the start of this series ratings were reportedly dropping, so hopefully Madge will bring back the days where The X Factor would draw in a high-set list of worldwide performers.

Previously the show has seen Sir Paul McCartney, Beyonce, Sir Elton John grace the X Factor stage and last weekend we saw Pharrell Williams and Taylor Swift perform.

Of course more importantly, the proposed appearance could help boost sales of Madonna's next album, which is due to go on sale shortly after she is due to appear on the show.

New Album: Nicki Minaj Colab?

Madonna Adds DJ Dahi & Blood Diamonds to Collaborators List

The diva posted an Instagram photo on Saturday (Sept. 20) of DJ Dahi and Blood Diamonds working behind a computer, with the caption, “Nothing can stop the Sex Boyzzzzzz!”  The list of collaborators for Madonna’s next album continues to grow.  DJ Dahi is the producer behind Drake’s "Worst Behavior,” and has worked with other artists like Kendrick Lamar and Lily Allen. Pop act Blood Diamonds (aka Mike Diamond) is a frequent collaborator with Grimes.

Madonna has also been working with super-producer Diplo, who has turned up in multiple photos on her Instagram account. In his Billboard magazine cover feature, Diplo said that he's had multiple studio sessions with Madonna that have resulted in at least three "amazing, smashes."

The diva's next as-yet untitled album will be released in 2015 on Interscope Records. Her last release, 2012's MDNA, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Based on a glance at Madonna’s Instagram feed, the set may also feature collaborations with Toby Gad, MoZella, S1, Ariel Rechtshaid, Avicii, Natalia Killsand Martin Kierszenbaum.

'Heartbreak City' & 'Two Steps Behind Me'

Madonna has reportedly laid into Lady Gaga and ex-hubbie Guy Ritchie in songs which could end up on her new album.

Leaked lyrics from the track Heartbreak City allegedly slam Ritchie for:

"Getting what [he] came for, a bit of fame and fortune, and I’m no longer needed."

Though the lyrics have yet to be confirmed, multiple news sources corroborated that the song seemed to call out Ritchie. And, although Ritchie is not named, the lyrics seem very much from the heart.

While Gaga, who has praised Madonna as a major influence on her work, is the apparent target in the song Two Steps Behind Me, in which Madge sings: 

“You’re a copycat, where is my royalty? Did you study me hard enough? You're never gonna be, you're just a wannabe me. Like a sister all messed-up, who's gonna help you out? In your fantasy, you can try it all. But you can't be me.

'You can walk the walk, even talk the talk. But you'll always be two steps behind me.”

The both songs were recorded with Avicii, but that no final tracklist for the album has yet been decided. More than one track on the album is about the ending of their three year relationship which left Madonna more vulnerable than most people might think.

Neither track may actually end up on the new album, but the lyrics show that The Queen of pop, who celebrated her 56th birthday earlier this month, has not lost her touch.

After originally finding fame in the '80s with hits like Papa Don't Preach and True Blue, Madonna has gone on to have hits across four decades, establishing herself as one of the biggest musical icons of all time.

'Messiah'...is coming!

Madonna is back and jumping on social media to tease her fans with tidbits from her upcoming album.  She has been hard at work in the studio putting together her 13^th album and took to her Instagram account teasing what appears to be a new track, entitled “Messiah,” which we can presumably expect to see find its way onto the album.  In the first of two related posts, Madonna uploaded a pic of a page of sheet music with “Messiah” scrawled across the top. The photo is captioned with “Coming soon……..#promise #keep#sorceress#deep”

Three hours later, Madonna posted a video of an orchestra string section playing in a recording studio. She tagged the post, “Magic makes the people come together yaaaaaaaasssssssssss. #messiah”

With words like sorceress, magic and messiah being thrown around, it’s fair to say that this song is likely to have a mystical aspect to it. The tidbit we’re given of the strings section is very grandiose and evocative, which would fit nicely with the theme. Admittedly this is only one small segment we’ve been given and it hasn’t been mixed yet so who knows what the final sound will be like.

Madonna has some high profile collaborators on the new album. Along with hitting the studio with songwriter MoZella (of Miley Cyrus “Wrecking Ball” fame), she has also been working with Avicii and British popstar Natalia Kills.

I’ve long been a fan of the “Material Girl.” What I have loved about her is her ability to reinvent herself time and time again as well as reinvent her sound and play around with the genre-de-rigueur of the day. I’m really excited to hear what kind of sound will result from her current collaborations and look forward to the release of the album. Here’s also hoping for another world tour.

Rumour Has It?

Madonna is hanging up her pointy bras and fishnets as she swaps dance music for a 'grown up' album of ballads - thanks to Adele.

Queen of reinvention Madge has asked the 25-year-old songstress, below left, to help her, promising in return to write a song for Adele's next record.

'They have met in London and plan a writing session to produce a track for each other's new albums,' says a source close to 55-year-old Madonna, below.




She'll write a song for Adele in return. As if Adele needs/wants her help writing songs, lol.

Fresh Details Emerge From New Madonna Album

There’s no doubt about it, 2014 will see the release of a brand new Madonna album.

However, while the world may have already predicted this would be the case last year, it may not be aware of the new details that are emerging pertaining its sound and how its release will mark one of the last dealings she’ll have with Live Nation, under the contract she is presently tied to!  After the release of 2012′s ‘MDNA’, Madonna now stands just two more albums and two more tours away from bidding adieu to her current arrangement with ‘Live Nation‘, and -according to numerous reports- has until 2017 to fulfil said obligations.

So, with only three years left to make the above happen, the icon has now hit the studio to create her latest LP and has already birthed eight original songs set to feature on the forthcoming disk. This, months after a 2013 ‘Reddit’ session saw her share her desire to collaborate with ‘French house’ manufacturers, Daft Punk.




Hummm.....what do you think?  I'll take this a s rumor/wishful thinking for now. Time will tell.

Have Our Prayers Been Answered?

Is Madonna Working on a New Album?

Is ‘I Know It‘ icon Madonna hard at work on a brand new studio album?

Well, if a recent reunion with one of her favourite producers is indicative of anything, the answer to that question may be yes!  After being spotted at Los Angeles‘ LAX airport recently, Madonna and ‘Who’s That Girl’ producer Patrick Leonard have reportedly reunited to create a new album set for launch at the end of 2014.  The follow-up to 2012′s ‘MDNA’, numerous reports indicate that this new album will pull from ‘I’m Breathless‘, the album she recorded in support of her role 1990′s Dick Tracy, which saw her join Shep Pebbitone and Craig Kostich to create the iconic number that is...’Vogue.

“Turn Up The Radio” Demo

Martin Solveig and Sunday girl recorded a track titled “Turn Up The Radio” earlier this year. Solveig has been playing it during live sets but we have yet to receive a studio version of the track. It was also rumored to be included on Martin Solveig’s 2011 effort Smash but obviously never made the cut and now it comes with good reason.

Muumuse and Hard Candy Music are now reporting that the stellar dance track is set to make the cut for the new Madonan album and is already being considered for single treatment! Judging by the demo, it should definitely be a single!  Beautiful sweeping synths take charge for “Turn Up The Radio”, I can totally hear Madonna on a record like this!

In other Madge briefings, Benny Benassi, William Orbit, and Stuart Price (my personal fave) are all said to be involved in official mixing for the new single “Gimme All Your Luvin”. Not surprising considering the Queen has worked with all 3 producers before on previous projects.

Listen to the live demo of “Turn Up The Radio” below, what do you think?

Album Title And Tracklist REVEALED?!

Real or fake?
An image of an alleged copy of Madonna's new album, apparently titled LUV, has leaked onto the internet, and although it's already been taken down by the powers that be, it - along with the logos for Interscope and Live Nation - features a full tracklist!
No sign of Girls Gone Wild or Bang Bang Boom...maybe they will be bonus tracks?! 

 Can't wait for 2012!  Are you ready?

Even MORE Deets On Madonna's New Album!

We know, we know. Madonna news. You're about to sh*t yourselves!

So okay, the first thing we've heard is that 'TRUST' is opening the album — a strings and flutes song co-written by Sia and produced by William Orbit.

Now some fans are skeptical, saying Sia has confirmed her song didn't make it to the album, BUT other fans know that's probably just talk to keep us guessing.   What is the theme of the song? Anyone remember the Aidan situation for Sex and the City 2? Uhm ya, our thoughts exactly!

We've also found out there are four ballads on the album! Four! Get your kleenex ready!!

Oh! And guess who's doing the artwork for the album cover!! Giovanni Bianco!!! We know, ah-mazing!!

And we know all the club-hoppers want some remix news, so we've got some of that for ya too! Apparently Martin Solveig and Stuart Price have both done some remixing to Gimme All Your Luvin!!!!

Amazeballs!!! We are SO stoked about this! We're excited about Christmas, but damn, can it just be March already??? LOL!!!

Madonna Signs Three Album Deal With Interscope

Madonna fans rejoice.  For today, reports regarding the icon’s rumored partnership with Interscope were confirmed.

Yes, she has signed a three album contract with the label, in a bid to kick start the next era of her lengthy career.

According to Billboard Biz, the 50 something has inked a deal which will see her next three albums distributed by the label,which is also home to fellow attention seeker Lady GaGa.

This deal will not affect her standing contract with Live Nation, with whom she signed a $100 million deal  with back in 2007, a year before the release of her ‘Hard Candy' album and the launch of its 'Sticky & Sweet’ tour.

While all the details of this new venture with Interscope are yet to emerge, this news will be sure to silence any who had been under the impression the performer was planning to retire from music to focus on her other endeavors.

For, now that we know the coming years will spawn three brand spanking new LP’s from the ‘Vogue‘ maestra, it will be some time before the charts see the back of a woman who is just as relevant today as she was when she debuted.

Madonna Talks About New Album with Nicki Minaj And M.I.A., Her Movie, and More

Yes!!! New Details About The BALLAD On Madonna's Next Album & New Movie!

Feel free to express yourself in happy jumps and squeals from this newly leaking intel!
It has been CONFIRMED by Guy Oseary that Madonna recorded a ballad for her own movie W.E. Now, we can tell you more!

The song is called Masterpiece, apropos considering it will come from a master, and it's been produced by William Orbit.

As for the context of the song, sources indicate that it is about "what it feels to love and be loved like a piece of art and how fragile this love can be." The source further adds that the track is " very orchestral," but when Madge does let out a note of her own, it is "stunning." The will also be dually released on the movie's soundtrack and Madonna's new album.
CAN'T. WAIT!!!

It's Official! M.I.A. Is Jetting Off To NYC To Collaborate With Madonna AND Nicki Minaj!

We knew this was happening - but to have it in writing only makes us THAT much more excited!

After reports circling for weeks that Madonna would be working with both M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj on her upcoming studio album, the Sri Lankan rapper essentially confirmed it herself via Twitter only hours ago!

She writes:

summond to NYC by bitchesses > MADONNA and @NICKIMINAJ > cofffffiiiiiiieeeeeeeeee it iz a good day to get me tho trustttt bitches

Ahhhh!

As great a start as the demo for Give Me All Your Love was, we're thrilled to know that two such innovative and talented artists will be contributing to the glory that is Madge on her new material!

There is a reason she is QUEEN, after all!

And greatness awaits us in 2012!

Yes, yes and YES!

New FULL Song: ‘Give Me All Your Love’

The full version of Madonna‘s new joint, set for inclusion on her forthcoming February 2012 album, has made its way online (sans Nicki Minaj andM.I.A.).

What are you waiting for?  

Madonna - Give Me All Your Love - Full New Single 2011 Vidéo MrMusic sélectionnée dans Musique

While word has it that Minaj and M.I.A.’s inclusion on the record will be for its live unveiling only, it still would’ve been interesting to see what they brought to its official version.  Because while we never fault Madge for trying to keep up with the young’ns, there are aspects of this song that sound like a marriage between an Atari video game’s music and something Avril Lavigne threw away.

“Give Me All Your Love” (demo) is a complete regression from the dance-pop/electro greatness Madonna pursued and mastered on 2005′s ‘Confessions On A Dance Floor’. “Give Me” comes off as a watered down bonus track from an early 00′s Kylie Minogue CD, not to mention the shrill quality of Madonna’s thin vocals are a complete turn off. It in no way represents a song worthy to lead a new era from the unchallenged Queen of Pop. On the [only] bright side, Lady Gaga can breath a sigh of relief as no wigs will be snatched with this release. Not. A. One.

The throwback to early 80s Madge will certainly be appreciated by her core fans, but appealing to today’s record buying public is going to  require the Material Girl to go back to the drawing board for better material.  Either way, only time will tell if this is her way of testing the waters or if it is full indication of what’s to be expected on the next album.  Hopefully, it is the former and not the latter.

What do you think?
