Rumors are saying that it won't be on the ablum, and it for sure isn't the lead single.

i hope that rumor is true!

It sounds like a nice ALBUM track. Not lead single. But I do like it.

sassybritches said:

Same here. I'm officially going on the record to say that this is utter shit.

Well, I kinda like the way she sings the verses. The rest of it gets on my tits though.

I agree,it doesn't sound like it could be a single.It'll work better as an album track.

Did they mention that it's a leak? I didn't know that radio stations could legally play an unfinished song that leaked on the Internet (but then again,I never listen to the radio these days,lol).

That's correct.She hasn't finalized the tracklist.The majority of the songs are in demo form.She's gonna go back into the studio next month to complete some of the songs,add new vocals,etc.Supposedly,she wants "more bass,more bells and whistles" on the Timbaland tracks

I like her approach to making music.She always records enough tracks for two albums,then she simply picks the best 13 or so songs for the album.I heard that there are over 30 songs recorded for this project already.

Exclusive: Barracuda Got Beats

The Beat Goes On,the Madonna/Pharrell collaboration which was leaked some days ago,is already circulating in New York clubs on a promo CD containing six tracks,supposedly played at Warner meetings last month.The CD contains the following tracks: The Beat Goes On,L.S.D (a Stuart Price collaboration),Candy,Still Doin It,La La and Keep My Love (Pt.1).

Apparently,spinning the song without mentioning it as a Madonna song is part of a strategy already used 2 years ago by Stuart Price with the Confessions tracks.

"Beat" has been played at Barracuda club 3 days ago.

that 6-song promo CD is real!

This project began in late 2006.Madonna and Stuart Price recorded a bunch of tracks right after the 'Confessions' tour concluded.In January of this year,she went into the studio with Pharell and recorded four songs.A month later, she worked with Timbaland and Justin Timberlake on five songs.When they worked again in July,another five songs were written and recorded.Swizz Beatz and Madonna worked on four songs at the beginning of the summer.Looking at the list above,she has enough songs for a 2-CD set,an idea that she is actually considering.

SoulAlive said:

They put on the PDT it was a "Beat Exclusive". It's funny that they would do something like that considering it goes up on a screen and can be traced back to them very easily.

SoulAlive said:

It could be the album's title!

SoulAlive said:

Would it be belaboring the obvious for me to say I'd LOVE to get my hands on that!?

The song is pretty weak. I honestly dont think it will be a single, and ill be surprised if its on the album. That said ....who knows? I personally think her lead single HAS to be groundbreaking. It hs to sound like nothing else, otherwise people aint gonna warm to this whole direction.

The Beat Goes On does sound totally generic so I hope it isnt the finished article. On the one hand when the track Music leaked it was the exact song completed, despite speculation it was a demo, however leaks of tracks like history that have been different to the leaked version.Anyway, Im hoping that she brings stuart in for the new record in some capacity - at least to mix the timbaand / Pharrell tracks to make the record sound more complete.

you know what, betch?

iii like it.

VinnyM27 said:

I've heard reports of the song being played on other stations,too.Kinda makes me wonder if this "leak" was intentional? So far,Warners hasn't sent any threatening notes Could this be Madonna's way of creating a little pre-release hype? Maybe she's throwing a bone to her fans,to get them excited about the project?

CrozzaUK said:

It's definitely a demo.Madonna goes back into the studio next month to "polish" up all the songs.I heard that Stuart will join her to do alot of post-production work on the songs.He's gonna add his touch to many of these songs.

Cinnie said:

You're a fan of Pharrell and Timbaland,right? This might be your favorite Madonna album

Cheek said:

SoulAlive said:

Fan of both since 1996.

Cinnie said:

this album is right up your alley,then

Cinnie said:

but pharrell wasn´t famous 1996.....

myloveis4ever said:

No, he wasn't famous in 1996, but by then the Neptunes were producing for R&B groups like Total and SWV.



and I ALWAYS have read my liner notes.

MikeMatronik said:

I admit,I went on ebay looking for it I'm a desperate fan,lol

Cinnie said:

"Use Your Heart" and not your mind..

SoulAlive said:

If that's true, then I want that demo even more!!! Can't wait to hear the difference after he's done with 'em!

CandaceS said:

Yeah,I'd like to hear the demo versions too.Did you ever hear the demo of "I Love New York"? It's much different than the version that made it onto COADF.

SoulAlive said:

Are you talking about the version that's on IGTTYAS? If so, yes..otherwise, no. .
