Madonna and I wrote nine songs together over a two week period in late April 1997.
Madonna would show up at 3 p.m. and we would start from scratch. She would leave at 7:00 and we would have a finished song and demo with all her lead and background vocals recorded.
She is a brilliant pop melodist and lyricist. I was knocked out by the quality of the writing.
The lyrics to ‘The Power Of Good-Bye’ are stunning. I love Madonna as an artist and a songwriter. I know she grew up on Joni Mitchell and Motown, and to my ears she embodies the best of both worlds.
She is a wonderful confessional songwriter, as well as being a superb hit chorus pop writer. She doesn’t get the credit she deserves as a writer.
everybody knows she's a very good writer plus everybody knows that the media hates her.
so why should they give credits to her?
madonna herself dgaf.
she knows that she's an oustanding talent without rubbing it under everbodys noses or getting bitter for not receiving the respect she deserves.
independent, mature and self-assured for 54 years.
