This time it's Madonna (yes, really) and Apollo440 on Coming Down. At #44 is Madonna and Ray of Light . I was never a big fan of Madonna, not even in her Jellybean Benitez days. But this album, and this single track, did appeal. But much of that is due to William Orbit's influence and a slightly less than megalomanic, more reflective, set of lyrics. Although the single comes with remixes from Sasha and Victor Calderone, it's the album version that captures its fragile appeal. At 43, is Apollo 440 and their [...]

Whether he's singing about big girls being beautiful, lollipops or Grace Kelly, there's just something about singer/songwriter MIKA's music that makes you happy. With all that's going on in the world, I think it's about time for some MIKA-induced happiness which makes the announcement about his forthcoming new album, The Origin Of Love, all the more exciting. The Origin Of Love, MIKA's

Fresh off the release of her 'Bad Girls' remix package featuring Azealia Banks, Missy Elliott, Rye Rye, Leo Justi, Switch and Danja M.I.A. suffers a leak in form of a track called 'Baby'. 'Baby' is not recorded to serve on her fourth album "Matangi" (due this fall), no it was a demo she did for Madonna, produced by William Orbit. The leak resulted in several tweets by M.I.A. explaining the whole thing: " who ever LEAKED THAT BABY song should know that ive never heard this version B4 it sounds crazy different 2 wht i worte [...]

• M.I.A. - Baby

Chris Brown 's "Don't Wake Me Up" isn't the only William Orbit -produced track that didn't make the cut for Madonna 's MDNA , but it might be the only one that gets a proper release. M.I.A. 's "Baby", a song she penned for Madge, made its way online today, and caused the controversial UK songstress to tweet the following: "who ever LEAKED THAT BABY song should know that ive never heard this version B4 it sounds crazy [...]

Is William Orbit the "dude" to get the best out of M.I.A. ? Perhaps not on the evidence of Baby, a newly outed demo that sounds a heck of a load like Madonna circa-2k and feels equally outré to her last sighting when she overhauled Jay-Z's Hackney Weekend headline stint for negligible apparent reason. All dial tone glitch, crunchy stadium-styled guitars, minimal blip rhythmery and appositely babyish vocals, Arulpragasam quizzes: "Ooh! Can you make a woman out of me?" atop condensed guitars twanged straight outta Music . Whether her baby [...]

Ecco, in apertura post, il video trasmesso da una tv di Tel Aviv in occasione della prima tappa del tour di Madonna , al via il 31 maggio 2012. C'è comprensibile attesa per l'inizio delle date dei concerti, sia per la scaletta , sia per le scenografie usate , sia per la possibile interpretazione di Express Yourself seguita da Born This Way con la chiusura di "She's not me". Una risposta poco diplomatica alle polemiche? Ma, oltre a queste piccole anticipazioni, ha incuriosito il messaggio lasciato dal produttore William Orbit [...]

It's MDNA 's Electronic Press Kit. Meaning, Madonna is too special to do TV interviews anymore. Including interviews with Martin Solveig, William Orbit, Benny & Alle Benassi and Mert & Marcus.

It has been a while since Madonna released a bunch of dance-worthy tracks. So, it comes as no surprise that the icon has saved some good ones for us on MDNA . This track, "Turn Up The Radio," is just that. A bouncy dance tune that doesn't offer much on the lyrical side to keep it light on the sumptuous melody. Her vocals are suggestive of a good time and it makes us think of the time when Madonna was the queen of all remixes. Although it might not have the capacity to become a single, it can still turn people [...]

Though she'd probably never admit it, Madonna is only human. And like the rest of us mere mortals, she's failed at a few things over the years (oh, those dreadful movies!). Holding my attention, however, has rarely been one of them. It's not that she's boring me now, but I'm having a hard time getting through MDNA again. Every time I try to listen to Madonna's just-released 12th album, my mind starts to wander and my energy level flags, which means that this probably will not end up being my workout soundtrack for the next [...]

Madonna has developed quite a strong relationship with producer William Orbit over the years — the two packed quite a punch (and snagged a few Grammys) for their work on 1998's Ray Of Light , and the two have teamed up for six tracks on Madge's latest dancefloor mainstay, MDNA . Though the LP sounds totally current and on trend with the sound of dance-pop today — dubstep breakdowns, four-on-the-floor beats, Nicki Minaj — Orbit swears they kept their ears closed from listening to the Top 40 while creating the album. "We [...]

Madonna , Queen of Pop, is royalty for a reason - with varying degrees of overall sucess, her albums are prescient, aware mixes of hyper-current electronic and pop music influences that don't lose her unique voice, spirit or  sound - despite working with dozens of producers throughout the years, each album seems to have a hand in both her previous album, and the next album. To say her past influences remain potent is putting it lightly. MDNA revels in the late-902s, early 20002s dance pop revival that Madonna herself helped launch with "Ray of [...]

Madonna 's ascent to the throne as the Queen of Pop (which began roughly 20 years ago give or take, depending on which articles you read), happened as a result of her ability to reinvent herself as an artist, challenging taboos regarding gender and sexuality via the appropriation of underground cultural phenomenons and entertaining the world over with her extraordinary talent as a live performer. She also knocked out a decent song or two. The reality, though, is that her latest studio album MDNA -the twelfth of her career overall-is not about reinvention: It's about reclamation. [...]

Pop queen Madonna is back with a vengeance.

Madonna, blue-eyed pop queen with a catalog of singles and music videos (not to mention a body ) that most younger hopefuls would be envious of, admits that making an album and releasing it into the world is still a nerve-wracking experience for her. "You never know how people are going to receive it, whether it's going to move them or inspire them," Madge tells The Sun in the latest part of her interview with the UK paper . "The world is so full of entertainment now, isn't it? So [...]

Addicted to Madonna 's MDNA ? Join the club. While you were busy gang banging, sinning and fucking up earlier this afternoon, the acoustic remix of one of the best songs on the record, "Love Spent" just leaked-and it's absolutely phenomenal. William Orbit 's alternate take on the track-available only via pre-order of the deluxe edition of MDNA on iTunes-strips away the spacey electronica textures of the original, leaving room for some dreamy strumming guitar/banjo business (don't worry, it works!). The new mix also includes an absolutely gorgeous [...]

As you might know if you have been checking LOFT965.com for bit, we haven't been liking Madonna's musical output as of late. Well, let's break it down. Ever since American Life , it hasn't been the same. We thought Confessions On The Dance Floor was somewhat of a forced gay-dance album, although it had its few moments - albeit very few. Then Madonna decided to tour heavily and go on to release Hard Candy . Now, we not only think Hard Candy is bad, like some Madonnaphiles do too, but we actually [...]

Madonna soars up to the sky on  Love Spent , the latest track from MDNA  to 'leak' in 60 second clip form. Produced by Jean Baptiste and longtime collaborator William Orbit , this is the first track to get us genuinely excited, apart from the epic Act of Contrition  intro to Girl Gone Wild. True to Madonna/Orbit form, Love Spent  includes blips and bleeps atop lush strings, introduced by a Wild Wild West style banjo. The track explodes into an infectious carried by tightly knit drums.

The last time I did a post about Georgian-born British songbird, Katie Melua , she was gearing up for the release of her fifth studio album entitled Secret Symphony . The album was originally scheduled for release last November, however longtime label, Dramatico Records , pushed it back , not wanting to rush the star with promotional duties. As eager as I was to hear new material, this was probably a wise decision on the part of Dramatico, especially given [...]
