Members Sylph Posted March 13, 2010 Members Share Posted March 13, 2010 So, Y&RWorldTurner, what is it that you'd love for Madonna to do next? A dance album? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 13, 2010 Members Share Posted March 13, 2010 She is a dance-pop artist, her roots have always been in dance music. But I want something lyrically mature again. I think her best collaborator was Patrick Leonard. They always brought out the best in one another. It's a shame the last time they worked together was writing songs for Ray of Light. Patrick Leonard and Madonna just worked so well off one another. I really wish she'd work with him again, even if it's just co-writing songs with him again and not production. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted March 13, 2010 Members Share Posted March 13, 2010 Well, my thesis about a mature and sonically beautifully presented album with melodies is really about that. Dance music. Not dance as in dance music du jour, trashy, forgettable, but something lasting. It certinly doesn't mean Madonna taking a guitar and singing only with it as an accompaniment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 13, 2010 Members Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) In think her acoustic guitar phase is over. She incorporates it time to time on tour, but it hasn't been in any of her albums since American Life. All her albums have been dance oriented though, even if their influences came from different places. To keep things slightly on topic, here's Akerland with Madonna accepting the Best Director VMA with Madonna at the 1998 MTV VMA Awards, 1:03 in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siFUSq75Ons Edited March 13, 2010 by Y&RWorldTurner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sylph Posted March 13, 2010 Members Share Posted March 13, 2010 Like I said, that would be hilarious! Madonna as a singer-songwriter recording an album with only the guitar as accompaniment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 13, 2010 Members Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) I assumed you meant you want her to do dance music with more string instrumentation? She hasn't even started working on her next album yet, though she was supposedly compiling stuff with David Guetta. Though, who knows if that will make the cut on the album, when it ever gets released. Madonna's known to change direction a lot prior to releasing an album. I almost feel like the next album is important in reconnecting to her core audience audience again, many of which (myself included) were alienated by Hard Candy.

Members Adam Posted March 13, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 13, 2010 I agree with this assessment. I love Gaga and a big reason is for her videos, while over the top, have a very unique concept/story to them... for the most part. This one just didn't... most random shiz ever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted March 13, 2010 Members Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) I would like some strings. She is no stranger to them (the dark, polyphonic, at times Oriental strings of Frozen, the Vivaldi-esque of Papa Don't Preach, the Mando-pop strings of Take a Bow, Michel Colombier's expert cinematic strings in that awful Die Another Day). And I'm sure Eric, himself a violin player, can write a PhD thesis on how strings were used to great effect in dance and disco music of eras past and present.

Members Sylph Posted March 13, 2010 Members Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) I liked the title song, Love Profusion and Hollywood. Strings here and there and that's about it. Who are the haters? Eric & Alvin? Edited March 13, 2010 by Sylph 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted March 13, 2010 Members Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) LOL.
