* It has a tentative release date in the US of Tuesday 11 March

* It has a working title of Connextion - although this will be changed for release

* It currently contains 12 tracks

* The Beat Goes On track that was leaked a few months ago actually is the finished product for the album

* Another song is a ballad, much like the tone of Promise To Try but is more about a rebirth than death

* There is another song with a strong techno 'thump' with just Madonna singing, no other musical sound and it works pretty well, almost haunting and stays with you

let the eager anticipation begin...

and on this date in MADONNA history this masterpiece was released


25 october 1994

I hope it has the Abba cover

Hearing the leaks from these sessions has taken away most of my excitement for this album.

you'll change your mind

Moonbeam said:

i feel the same way. i'm not excited about the record in the least bit. i'm curious, of course, because it is madonna but i feel no sense of eager anticipation.

Beautiful! Happy birthday! I bought the album early, so it had the face upfront (I didn't realize the real cover was the one that came out later and she was supposed to be hanging upside down from a bed).

As for the new album, I hope at least one rumour is flase about "The Beat Goes On" being the verison that will be on the album...I can't imagine Madonan ever letting a song that was leaked that early be on the album, but who knows....This is the last one for Warners, so maybe she just don't give a f...

BREAKING NEWS!

she just found out she can't sing at all..pro tools is sure miracle worker.

VinnyM27 said:

Me too!

and I loved my cassingle for "Secret"... couldn't wait for the album to drop!

baroque said:

Talking about pro tools, though, some guy from Jive played samples of the new CD....Even the tender ballad is vocodered to death (Cher didn't even do that with every damn song on "Believe"...most of them, though).

I bought the Secret CD single this year in nostalgia for that old cassingle.

It has the instrumental!


Apparently some version of the single for "Secret" also has "Let Down Your Guard", I think maybe in the UK?

Did u like "Up Down Suite"? I always wondered what fans thought of that

paisleypark4 said:

I like it, but perfer GoodBye to Innocence

Not really a fan of Erotica. I like a couple singles.

Cinnie said:

but you liked bedtime stories?

sassybritches said:

I liked "Bad Girl" and "Waiting" and yeah "Rain".

Cinnie said:

did like the title track?



never heard that 1

Candy Shop and The Beat Goes On (not to mention Hey You, which is easily the best of the bunch) make me want to puke.


god. that shit is on the album?! i think i'm going to cry.

Raze said:

"Hey You" is definitely the best of the bunch. I actually like it.

only 12 tracks? There's gonna be alot of outtakes from this project.Timbaland said that he and Justin produced a whopping 10 songs for the album.Looks like many of those songs won't see the light of day.

SoulAlive said:

Hopefully NONE of the JT songs will see the light of day.

Moonbeam said:

I'm not a big fan of his either,but still I wanna hear what he and Timbaland came up with I heard that the songs are amazing

SoulAlive said:

There's no such thing as "amazing" when JT enters the picture, unless you mean amazingly lame!

Moonbeam said:

He sucks,but I gotta admit,"My Love" is a decent song

I guess I lose my "cool points" for admitting that?
