Madonna creates, premotes or reinfines trends and puts them on the map. So anything is possible, Though personally I would prefer that she did not go down the 'big and popular' route. I want her to produce one of her best albums she has done, She is under a bit of pressure to show that she is still the Queen of Pop (she is anyway <3).

I guess she does but I'd love to see her make an amazing dubstep infused record. I can see her embracing and adapting the genre.

And she certainly is, all the new popstars that have appeared in her abscence *Cough* GODGA *Couch cough* have proved amazing. Interesting to see how she will stand in the musical world now up against such strong competitors.

Radio programmers talk about Madonna album collaborators


Peter Buchanan published this blog recently at Examiner.com:

At the gathering of program director’s meeting in Chicago this weekend, the hot topic was Madonna. My June 9th column was the very first to reveal that The Weinstein Company picked up distribution rights to Madonna’s eagerly anticipated film W.E. I have a lot more information on that, but will keep quiet for now. After all, Madonna is primarily a recording artist, right?

The big talk at the meeting was Madonna’s upcoming album and the possibility of Jim Steinman (hello, Bonnie Tyler, Meat Loaf, and Celine Dion) as a collaborator. Apparently, Madonna wrote some songs with melody ideas and sent them to Mr. Steinman, who was very impressed. Madonna, despite what some say, does write her own lyrics and melodies, but relies on producers to come up with the music.

Some of the program directors thought the idea was interesting, while others thought that Jim Steinman would be cheapening himself. Even if Mr. Steinman doesn’t come through, one of the definite collaborators for Madonna’s next album is going to be Joe Henry, who co-wrote two of Madonna’s most loved songs: 'Don’t Tell Me' and 'Jump.'
