***Fresh news on #Madonna's next album***
From MadonnaTribe forum: Fred Ball was asked to sign a confidentiality agreement on Wednesday, and they were in a studio together working on stuff the last couple of days, just before the Natalia Kills update appeared on Instagram.



Fred told his friend and artist Bertine Zetlitz that Madonna is one of the best songwriters he has ever worked with, that she is really smart.

He says she talks about sex all the time, haha! Apparently, M wanted to write a song about **** on Monday!

In other words, there won't be any more updates from Fred from now on, after having signed that document, I suppose, but to me this is a good sign, because it probably means that M really wants his contributions/what they have created together on the upcoming album!

Queen, finally an album that means a lot to her!!!

We knew it tho.

Good he's come out and said that. She doesn't get enough public recognition and credit for her songwriting and involvement in her music.

I love how she's so involved in the writing and the whole creative process

"Queen of Pop" isn't just honorific.

160 IQ isn't for nothing

Her Erotica is coming

Old news but it's nice to have an official confirmation. She seems to really be giving it her all with this album which we haven't seen her do since Confessions in 2005.

Bring it, Bitch!

YES so excited for the new project by the Queen of Pop

She is.
She is really clever.

Genius at work, getting ready for that critical acclaim

Honestly, I'm scared. I've just listened to Pleasure's music on iTunes and it sounds just like Turn Up The Radio. No, Madonna. Just no. I'm gonna need another reinvention, please.

No lies spotted.

Yup, my expectations for this album are very low tbh.

LIES. she tried on Hard Candy. HC isnt bad its just that cover that ruined the entire era

Before you accuse me of being a HC hater, I'm not. In fact, it's my 2nd fav Madonna album...I love every track. BUT...it's obvious that she did not give her 100% and let the producers do more work than usual for her albums.

STAN for Hard Candy, (M's riskiest album)

I never understood the hate. The album is fun and was never meant to be taken seriously. I have always loved it from start to finish. My favs are Heartbeat, She's Not Me, Beat Goes On and Devil Wouldn't Recognize You.
