I can't believe the incredible response the single and album are getting on iTunes! Almost 30 years into her career and she can still drop a single/album and have it be massive worldwide? That's awesome!

PS - The snippets of Girls Gone Wild and Turn Up The Radio sound wack as fuck. I sooo hope the rest of the album is better.

^^^ what mag is that?

I have no idea...I just saw it posted on a Madonna fansite

http://www.madonnara...s-with-madonna/
Martin Solveig: I ended up working together on six tracks with Madonna

For the promotion of Madonna’s new single “Give me all your Luvin’” from her forthcoming album MDNA, producer Martin Solveig gave an interview to French newspaper Le Parisien.

Here is the full interview, translated by Madonnarama…

How did it all start with Madonna?
MARTIN SOLVEIG – When my single was certified gold in the US, her manager called me. He said “Madonna is doing a record and she would like to work with you. Could you send us some music? At first, I thought it was a joke. Then things got a little overwhelming. It’s sort of a dream to work with Madonna when you’re a musician.

Tell us about meeting her for the first time…
MARTIN SOLVEIG – We first spoke on the phone. She told me she loved “Hello” and “Boys and Girls”,a song I did for a Jean Paul Gaultier fashion show. She told me “It sounds different from anything we hear today.” Then, things went quite easy. We were supposed to work on one or two tracks, but we ended up working together on six tracks “Turn-up The radio”, “I Don’t Give a”, “I Fucked up”, “Beautiful Killer” and “B-Day Song”….

What about her latest single “Give me All Your Luvin’”…
MARTIN SOLVEIG – Everything went so fast with that one. We were working in a recording studio in London. She listened to the music. She grabbed the microphone and said “ok let’s record it now”. We actually kept elements from that very first recording in the actual song. It’s all about dance, joyful, and being positive. It’s a ball of energy. The song is based on a sort of twist rythm. Then, her manager and I thought about including M.I.A. and Madonna thought about Nicki Minaj, because she adores her. Both are featured more than once in the album. [First revealed by Madonnarama.com last November : HERE]

The single even leaked on the Internet…
MARTIN SOLVEIG – It was terrible, even though it was just a demo. From what I hear, it all came from a hacker who hacked Madonna’s computer. She’s harrassed all the time, it’s crazy. The FBI even woke me up, one day, and scanned my computers to check if the leak was coming from me. The computer I use to produce tracks is now locked in a vault and I couldn’t even go home with the single. I have to buy it !

Is working with Madonna easy?
MARTIN SOLVEIG – She’s very down to earth. You easily forget she’s an icon and it all turns into a very collaborative process between two artists. She drinks a lot of weird tea with honey and lemon. She made me try it, but I didn’t like it. I’m more of a coffee person. She’s got a great sense of humor and is very tongue-in-cheek. She called me dozens of different names from “professeur” to “the tyran” because i asked her to re-record vocals too many times, and also “Roman Polansky” because she thinks him and I look alike. We worked for three months between London and New York. We’re still texting each other a lot exchanging ideas. Madonna has always been the most French-oriented american artists. Her kids speak French better than I do. Lola is incredible. The way she speaks French is amazing. Madonna’s so into French movies, 70′s films, new wave. She knows Bunuel, Godart, Truffaut. Take the song, “Beautiful Killer”, it’s an homage to Melville’s movie “Le Samouraï.” She sings “You’re a beautiful Killer but you’ll never be Alain Delon.”

Did you make a lot of money out of this collaboration ?
MARTIN SOLVEIG – Nothing for now. But we’re sharing all revenues from the songs we recorded together. I think it’s very generous of her. In the end I’ll be probably making a lot of money out of it. But the experience is so crazy that I didn’t even think about the financial aspects, yet.

So... I have no idea whats happening with all these threads, so I'm just gonna post my thougts on the superbowl here:

The entrance was SICK

And Vogue was ON POINT. Loved the moves, loved the theme, it was SO GOOD.

And then music happened.

She stumbled, skipped lines and this:

But as much as I hate LMFAO her act with them brought the energy back and this was totes cute:

GMAYL was super cute

oh yeah and M.I.A. doesn't give a fuck

God I fucking LOVE M.I.A.

OH yeah then CeeLo came out for what every hardcore Madge fan wanted! A THROWBACK!

The drumline Open Your Heart/ Express Yourself medley was surprising and left me with a huge grin.

And then homegirl brought it all home:

Overall, She fucking killed it.

Yes music was a bit hard to watch

yes she lip synced and I was disapointed, but ultimately I'd rather that than hear her panting or shreiking notes she can't yet.

But what an amazing show.

What an amazing woman:

There's a rumor that both of these songs are being considered for the next single."Girls Gone Wild" sounds way too "clubby"....I can't see it doing well anywhere except the clubs."Turn Up The Radio" shows promise.I actually like the demo version that leaked awhile back (with another vocalist).

The halftime show was AMAZING! If the tour is half this good we're in for a treat. Cant decide whether it was better than Prince or not (he did play best oF You and I'm a big Foos fan).

Only down points were the miming (though I totally understand why) and hearing GMAYL against all the other heights just confirmed for me who weak a song it is. Still, I'm even more pumped for the new album and tour now!!!

I love the "GMAYL" performance.It makes me like the song even more.

The U.S. leg of Madonna's tour begins in September.One date is already listed on Ticketmaster!

Madonna tour date in New ...n October

Ticketmaster.com are listing a tour date for Madonna at the New Orleans Arena on Saturday 27 October 2012. The website also states that tickets will go on sale on Monday 05 March with a price range of US $45.00 - US $355.00!

so it looks like the US shows will go on sale around March 5 (about a month from now).

So tomorrow is the official press conference about the tour! I heard the tickets for the European shows are going on sale end of this week/next week
