Justin Timberlake was interviewed in today’s Hollywood Daily People issue. It’s an industry publication that should not be sold in stores.

They interviewed Justin Timberlake and asked a few Madonna questions.

Hollywood Daily People: You worked on Madonna’s new album with Timbaland. In what direction did you take her?

Justin Timberlake: Basically, our job was to reinvent her sound. My thing was producing her vocals – really experimenting with rhythm. Everything she does with rhythm is straightforward. What I do is more staccato and R&B. So the challenge for me was writing songs, then saying, “How can I make this sound more like Madonna?” I’m a big fan of her first album. So my mission was to write a modern-day “Holiday.” I wrote a cool house record for her called “Miles Away” that I think is a smash! She sounds great on it.

Hollywood Daily People: So is it an R&B Madonna?

Justin Timberlake: It’s an R&B/pop/dance record, but it’s still Madonna. Her voice still sounds like she’s 18 year old! It trips me out that she’s 49. She’s always been rough and tough. Her last couple of records, she’s like, “Rrrrrr!”

Hollywood Daily People: How did she react to your ideas?

Justin Timberlake: A couple of times I pushed her in a direction where it took a minute before we saw eye to eye. Her approach was, “Well, I just haven’t done that.” And I was like, “Yeah, that’s why you should do it.”

Hollywood Daily People: So did you teach Madonna how to beatbox?

Justin Timberlake: [Laughs] No, no. We left that to me and Tim.

Any sane person knows that Madonna's voice does NOT sound like it did 25 years ago.

Better yet, it should be a bouns track on the Japanese CD! biggrin



I hate when they do this (different countries getting different bonus tracks).It's really annoying.Why doesn't Madonna simply take 16 tracks,put them all on the CD,and release the same CD to every country? In the past,I have spent up to $40 for a Japanese import CD,just so I could have the one or two bonus tracks.I resent having to do that.

It use to suck many years ago. But these days all you have to do is google the name of the track and you get 1000's of zshare links. I don't even bother with itunes anymore. Since most blogs freely give links to the hottests songs.

Japanese CD's are often given bonus tracks to combat their import problem! I've seen imported (U.S.) copies of an album for $16-17, sitting next to identical Japanese copies that cost $22-23. Hmm, which one should I buy... If there's an extra track or two, people may shell out for the Japanese copy. wink

The Observer----exclusive preview of Madonna's new album

It doesn't have a title yet,but the direction of Madonna's new album,her last major release before she turns 50,seems clear: the Barbour-wearing Queen of Pop is hitting the street.Two of the three tracks we heard in an exclusive playback boasts productions from the biggest beatmakers in hip-hop.Timbaland evidently reserves his best work for the highest-paying customers because lead single "4 Minutes To Save The World" is a mighty effort,powered by superhero horns,ticking clocks and Justin Timberlake's falsetto.On "Candy Shop",a sticky clutch of not-so-subtle innuendos ("Come into my store/I've got candy galore") is traded over a snappy Pharrell Williams beat."Give It To Me" slinks into more familiar dance/pop territory,but the chatter behind this album suggests that R&B and hip-hop will be its main flavors.Not a revolutionary move for Madonna,but at least she's working with the right people.

Madonnatribe exclusive: "4 Minutes To Save The World" remixes on their way to DJs

Our friend and DJ James from madonna-tv.com informs us that promos with remixed versions of Madonna's new single "4 Minutes To Save The World" are set to arrive to DJs in the U.K.

An email he got yesterday from the Music House DJ promo mailing list says:

Yes,it's nearly that time again,for us to deliver the new offering from the Queen of all things POP!

Madonna's latest release sees her teaming up with Mr.Smooth himself Justin Timberlake on "Four Minutes To Save The World".As with all Madonnna tracks,we are being kept in the dark as to who is providing the remixes on the package,but as soon as we know,you'll know!


James expects the remix to arrive in a few weeks."They only usually email like this when the promos are a few weeks away",he tells us on our forum.

Madonnatribe exclusive report: On and On,the beat goes

One of the most talked about topics that fans are discussing about the upcoming Madonna album is whether the two songs that mysteriously made their way to the Internet last summer would be making the final cut of the CD-and whether what leaked back then were rough demos or the final version of the tracks.

"Both "Candy Shop" and "The Beat Goes On" are on the album," a source tells us."Although I think you'll have a hard time telling if the first one is any different from the version you already heard".

From what we hear,the tracklisting of the new album-which has yet to receive its final name-kept changing for a while,with songs added,songs pulled,and their order being swapped as well.

"The Beat Goes On" is on the album,but this one is a completely different song,and sounds nothing like the version some of you might have heard",our source tells us."It is much faster,now it's a classic dance track with a very catchy rap insert courtesy of Kanye West towards the end".

The source added: "Not only the tempo but also the pace has changed,and only the chorus and part of the bridge kept the original lyrics.All the rest,including the verses,is brand new".

From what we learned,the "new" Beat Goes On is an amazing track with huge potential,difinitely a highlight of the new album.


hmmm sounds interesting,but I hope they didn't change the "message" of the original track.I liked what Madonna was saying ("always the bridesmaid,never the bride...").There was a good message there.

As for the video,it's currently in post-production and it will be ready at the end of February.As you probably remember,we reported on December 2,2007 that Madonna was looking for brand new directors and choreographers for her new video,and that she wanted a great video and the budget was huge.Indeed,the video for "4 Minutes To Save The World" has been directed by French duo Jonas and Francois,who never worked with Madonna before.

Finally,for her new promotional live performances,Madonna is planning to use Kevin Antunes and even Pharrell Williams (if he's available).

I have to admit that the verses of "The Beat Goes On" sounded a bit bland, but I did love the bridge and especially the chorus.

As for "Candy Shop", I'm glad it's the same. The admin on MTribe said Madonna apparently loves the song so much that she want to use it on the album even though it leaked and many fans hated it.

"The Beat Goes On" needed a little more work,I admit.It sounded unfinished,like a rough demo.I'm glad they went back and re-worked it.As for "Candy Shop"....that song grew on me,really fast! It's silly,but it's alot of fun.I love the "sticky and sweet" hook.

DANJA talks to EW about Madonna's new album

Nate "Danja" Hills and Timbaland co-produced some tracks on Madonna's new album.

Danja tells EW.com that the pop queen's next effort is "very uptempo,upbeat and urban-it's a Virginia-based sound".Madge was joined in the studio by another influential Virginian,Pharell Williams,but Danja emphasizes that the album's urban edge doesn't mean the 49-year old star has lost her pop cred."It's everything rolled into one," he says."It'll be a classic album".As previously reported here,Timbaland and Timberlake will appear in the video for Madonna's first single "4 Minutes To Save The World".The album is slated for an April 29 release.The single drops at the beginning of March.

^That pic is also a Robster creation! Not sure about the tracklist, "La La" supposedly did not make the cut.

The Danja quote is exciting though! I'm sure this album will have something for everyone.
