Madonna #8: Zij krijgt David, wij de DVD!

Justin Timberlake: More on the collaboration
Posted: 20 June 2007

Justin Timberlake was interviewed in todays edition of Scottish newspaper the Daily Record - a small part of the interview focused on his current work with Madonna:

....but before then, he is continuing a new-found collaboration with queen of pop Madonna.
The exiting pairing has already produced five songs - a couple of R'n'B numbers and a couple of dance records.
Justin said: 'Some of the dance stuff hasn't the in-your-face energy of Hung Up but it's got this mellow R'n'B thing on top of dance accompaniment which Timbaland is doing the beats for.'
'It's all still in demo phases and I don't know if it'll be an album but four or five songs will make really good records.'

EXCLUSIVE - Drowned Madonna can reveal that during her latest trip to New York, Madonna had a meeting and a dinner with Warner. Guy Oseary and Angela Becker were there.

They discussed possible release options for her new album - whether there will be a release this year or next year. Madonna would like to release her new album this year, alongside October-November, because she would like to tour next year.

Anyway, there is not a DEFINITIVE release date as of yet.

We also have been told that there are already 8 songs in the mixing studio and there will be an exclusive listening within the next months - 3 songs - to only Warner executives.

Furthermore, Madonna does NOT include "Hey You" in the tracklist for now, but they are discussing wheter adding it as a bonus track or not. Anyway, the new album will be very different from "Hey You".

Madonna Tribe has just heard fantastic news about the recently rumoured duet between Annie Lennox and Madonna. We are happy to report for the first time online (meaning that this info is not available anywhere online as we speak) that the song is titled "Sing My Sister" and that it can be described as an uptempo ballad.

Madonna was the natural choice to take a part to this song as it opens with the voice of an African woman calling for an implementation of the hiv mother to child transmission prevention programme in South African hospitals.

Annie starts the song saying "Sing My Sister Sing" on a piano loop and then Madonna comes in after a couple of minutes for what can be called more as a "special appearance" than a real duet song. Her part (basically the bridge of the song) is reminiscent of similar appearances in "Sidewalk Talk" or "Get Over"

The song is an hymn to the women of the world reminding them that "woman kind" is strong and they have to let their voices be heard.

We have also been told the song, (lasting a bit more than four and a half minutes), ends in fade with an "African Chant", something similar to "Lion King" songs.

Here's an excerpt from The Daily Mirror, which reports news revealed exclusively by Drowned Madonna last week.

We can reveal that Madonna is locked in rehearsals to perfect her stunning performance - in which she will be backed by a 52-strong choir.

Madge will perform four songs, including Ray Of Light and Hey You, a new song about global warming, written specially for the event.

Our source says: "She’s been preparing her performance for weeks and has even been talking to Al Gore about how to create the biggest impact."

quote:

Hair colorist Steven Tapp from L.A.'s Argyle Salon and Spa jetted to NYC, according to a press release, to give Madge "blond highlights" and a "smudge" just in time for her five-song performance at the upcoming Live Earth concert in London July 7.

News is just coming in from London about Gogol Bordello frontman Eugene Hutz possibly joining Madonna on stage at the Wembley Stadium for Live Earth on Saturday.

The info, coming from a reliable source, is not able to be confirmed at the present time, so let's treat this as an (exciting) rumour. Thanks to M.

quote:

And here's another super cool piece of news from the Live Earth rehearsal exclusively for the Madonna Tribe readers:

Yesterday's rehearsals featured "La Isla Bonita" like we never heard before.
It maybe started like the Confessions Tour version at first but then it turned into a gypsy music with some serious Russian flavors.
The weirdest thing ever, and very exciting!

quote:

We have received an email from a reader with some interesting info about the Live Earth performance. We remind you that this particular info should be taken just as speculation at the moment but it's fun to report.

Apparently stylists at Vivian Westwod's are in a mad rush working on a sort of bustier that Madonna might wear this Saturday at Live Earth... "It's gold sequence", our reader says, adding that "they're sending about five other things to her as well".

In the Westwood atelier there is apparently also what's described as a "silver dress" that they're working on for Madonna.

We don't know if Madonna will actually wear these clothes by this sounds interesting, especially after our previous exclusive report about the new reworked CT version of La Isla Bonita that can be described as "Russian flavoured"

Thanks to Dave for letting our readers know.

quote:

ollowing our own exclusive reports from yesterday and Gogol Bordello's official confirmation they will join Madonna on stage at live earth, we can now report that the song that will be mixed with Madonna's Confessions Tour version of La Isla Bonita the classic Gypsy song "Lela Pala Tute", which is performed in the Romany language.

Bits of this folk song completed with Ztigane violins and guitars were inserted between the verses of La Isla Bonita and reprised in the grand finale of the song.

As reported yesterday, this particular performance is expected to be amazing.

Wat is dat Gogol Bordello?

Enne... ze is dus toch de afsluiter in London! Cool! Ze zal beginnen met Hey You en eindigen met Hung up! Voordat ze opkomt zullen alle lichten uitgaan, waarna Madonna in het volle licht verschijnt. Waarschijnlijk draagt ze een jurk, ontworpen door Vivienne Westwood! La Isla Bonita zal met Russische invloeden gespeeld worden!

umm well YES you can definitely dance to it. I can see a whole club getting downright nasty to it actually. The chorus is very sexy! I cant stress that enough.
It didnt seem very hip hop at ALL. Very dancy. It was a muffled listen cause it was over the phone...so I couldnt hear the DEEP beats....but it does not sound hip hoppy to me. Chrous - think...deep voice like Like it or not ('cant have the femme without the fatale..please dont take offense') part
the bridge...sounds higher pitched like M&F ("there was a time I had a mother it was nice") part

thats the only way I can think to describe it

quote:

Our team member Ditaluver has finally heard the entire yet-unreleased Madonna track we told you before. Here is how Ditaluver describes the track.

"It's a GREAT track. I adore it... more than "Hung Up" and its got HIT written all over it.

It's sort of electronic hip hop. It has that Justin Timberlake beats, with electronic blips and low level groans. It's VERY American sounding, BUT VERY European at the same time. The beats and the bass are very Justin Timberlake, Timbaland etc., but there is a whole electronic thing, almost like Mirwais Light. It's very layered. Her voice goes from deep, to high, to spoken. The music has beats, and groans, and blips, and guitars. There is a lot going on.

This could, very well be just a demo... and it may not end up on the final album... but I'm pretty certain it WILL be the lead single and a great way to kick off a new era."

quote:

This is another rumored PARTIAL set of lyrics from the upcoming album. It is rumored that Madonna's voice is extremely tender, untouched and simply beautiful in the verse. The recalls () are Pharrell singing. Heavy strings (probably a bass instrument) provides the mid-tempo beat with a simple electronic "clap" along. The chorus is very repetitive and features Madonna singing in several keys (think Hey You chorus). Again, the song features Madonna singing in 4 or 5 different singing voices, some spoken words, etc.

Again, unlike anything you have ever heard from Madonna. Closest similarity would be "Hey You" but the song is light years better than "Hey You".

Here comes the sun
(here comes the sun)
I'm tired of coming undone
(oh, coming undone)
There's been so much darkness
Too much of the time
I think its a sign
(must be a sign)

Here comes the rain
(Here comes the rain)
Wash away all the pain
(wash away the pain)
Coming together, going apart
I want you to stay
(Hope you wanna stay)

Always the bride's maid, never the bride
Two steps behind, you've got too much pride
Always supporting, never the star
Get it together, cause the beat goes on
