XCLUSIVE - Drowned Madonna can tell you Madonna album listening party in details.
The room was decked out in a candy theme, champagne was being served, candy everywhere you look for everyone. The conference room it was held in was totally transformed.
There were red and white stripes & stools as the theme plus like colored bricks and lots of candy all over.
There were all Re-Invention Tour stage shots in the room including a big poster that may be the cover of the Lisbon DVD. No other photos of anything else, just RIT.
Madonna came at 5:30pm with Ingrid Casares and Guy Oseary, wearing all black - blouse, skirt, and boots. Liz Rosenberg was there of course, she is the one who organized the party and set up the theme.
Madonna sat on a couch with Liz Rosenberg and Ingrid Casares as the tracks played.
Madonna dictated what tracks would be played and specifically said they were not being played in any order.
She said she had just finished mixing the album a few days ago.
Madonna played "Candyshop," then "4 Minutes To Save The World" first. She then had a vote on which one would be the first single. She said many times throughout the session that the first single has yet ot be decided.
She is all about "Candy Shop" and looked upset and surprised there was a better reaction to "4 Minutes To Save The World".
"4 Minutes To Save The World" is like a dancey "Hey You". It goes something like "Hey girl, save the world...".
"The Beat Goes On" sounds NOTHING like the demo we heard. As we told you, it features Kanyes West. Madonna said it's not a single. Madonna made the song out to seem like a joke.
"Miles Away" and "The Devil Wouldn't Recognize You" has then been played.
Many times she would not announce the names of songs before playing them but there were sogns with the following main hooks:
"She's Not Me" , "Feel It In My Heartbeat" and "Dance Tonight" .
There is also a song which Madonna called a "psychological mind f*ck" which questioned who was the master or slave, if youre walking the dog or the dogs walking you.
Finally, Madonna said there are thirteen tracks, but she only played 10 songs.
No we won't. I won't accept another COAD or something worse than that - and this new album seems to be going that way. Oh, and to be honest, I think many other people think like me.
She should stick with her formula. Why does everyone think that if they switch to Timbaland's brand of music that they will have success? Maybe it worked for the early birds but lately it's just not working for anyone.
why is she waiting to release this until the end of April now? I mean, seriously if you have the album pretty much done and say you release a first single in January or February you could have the album out at the end of February or beginning of March (by the way, March is the 10 year anniversary of "Ray of Light" ) Candy Shop and The Beat Goes On will be really old by then, even if they are reworked versions.
u havent heard the album and madonna is always age appropriate k tks
Hahaha...since when has Madge and the word appropriate EVER been uttered in the same sentence? Homegirl has made a career out of being controversia..its who she is!?! Hell, if she hadnt put herself on the cross, almost nobody would have paid attention to her last tour...
The Confessions Tour was one of the most innovative tours of the last decade. The Cross was just an extra to all the amazingness it was. Yes, she always uses controversy to help her career, but she doesn't need this "50 year old newly British granny with delusions of hipdom ranting about her pruned up *****" ****.
the actual lyrics: "my sugar is raw...sticky and sweet"
you're right that we atually haven't heard these songs yet so we're in no place to judge, but "4 Minutes" sounds like an embarassment (the same way "Hey You" was). I hope "La La" is good...I'm surprised she didn't play that for them. The whole coffee concept is beyond tacky but she might pull it off. In any case, I'm really praying here for ya Maddy! I bought COADF and loved it, hope I can say the same for this one.
