News on Fashion Style for the new album..
| QUOTE |
Drowned Madonna has been informed that Madonna will film her appearance for the upcoming Annie Lennox's new video "Sing" within the next 2 weeks.
She is thinking, JUST THINKING, of going brown for the video.
Also the new album could be launched using a brunette look a-la-Frozen but with a much more in your face sense of fashion.
Word is that the new Madonna's look for next year could be more punk than rap.
We remind you that this is JUST ONE of the options under consideration right now. |

Album News...
| QUOTE |
MadonnaTribe has heard some exciting and exclusive news about Madonna's new album that we are happy to report for the very first time online. There are five final songs that are produced by Justin Timberlake and Timbaland and that had their final mixing at "Hit Studios Miami" last week.
From what we have been told there's a song called "4 minutes to save the world" and it's an upbeat and very catchy hip-hop Madonna/Justin Timberlake duet. Another song is called "Across The Sky". It has lots of acoustic guitars, the flow is very much like "The Power Of Goodbye" and sounds like a real hit. Madonna is hiting really high notes there while Justin Timberlake is on back vocals.
The third song is titled "Dance Tonight", a funky mid-tempo tune, yet another Madonna/Justin duet, think "Rock Your Body" by Justin with the claps and everything, this apparently has the same structure as well.
"Even the devil wouldn't recognise you" is a fourth song. Amazing ballad, very "Cry Me A River" by Justin Timberlake in it's structure and Justin on back vocals on this one too.
The fifth song is named "Miles Away" and we have been told this is the THE BEST of the whole bunch. A hit written all over it. Full of acoustic guitars, beautiful uptempo song ad Justin on back vocals again. The song structure may recall "Love Profusion", but it's much better.
From what we have been reported, there's no need to worry about Madonna's new album. It's going to be an incredible album that will mark the year of her 50th birthday in such a fantastic |

Me too =/
Its hard to find a good source to thrust. But I do thrust MadonnaTribe!
One of the songs produced by Pharrel that has leaked is really good. Its called "The Beat Goes On", but I'm not sure if it will be on the album.
Kanye West recorded a Rap for one of the songs B)
Tommy - November 20, 2007 06:10 PM (GMT)
Yeah, Candyshop And The Beat Goes on Both leaked
but madonna's Apparently scrapped all of pharrels stuff :P
Rich - November 20, 2007 06:53 PM (GMT)
Out of the albums I have, Ray Of Light, American Life and Confessions are all absolutely amazing.
I hope this can compete, I always think a new album by Madonna won't beat Ray Of Light, but every time (apart from Music) it has.
Taller In More Ways - November 20, 2007 07:02 PM (GMT)
Can't wait for Madonna to come back! Although I have to admit that Kylie is giving her a hard time now with X.

X is a really good album, but it has no song strong enough to take the world (like CGYOMH did)
Rich, you dont like Music? Its my fav followed by ROL.
AmelleLover26m - November 20, 2007 08:34 PM (GMT)
Madonna is always going to deliver. I do not think she has had a bad album yet to my knowledge although I am not a massive fan of hers. Ray of light was brilliant, its going to be very interesting to see how this one does.

Some
REALY Exciting News!
----------
to continue a member's story here, apparently first single resolutions
are being made as i write this down. up till now a collaborated first
single with not only madonna was taken under considerations (perhaps a
timbaland/jt collaborated track), now however there's a new fierce
candidate! a crazy dark dance track produced by DANJA features solo M
singing partly with vocoder and strong stylish beat. a mega hit
production. with only a small spoken part by danja. some say her vision
on this record is going to take pop to a whole other level.
definitely exciting!"----------
I Think i wet myself when i saw that :D
MadUpUourLife - November 20, 2007 09:22 PM (GMT)
I read this notice yesterday, on a Brazilian Forum, but it is in portguese and I didnt want to translate LOL

I Think its bloody amazing

This IS exciting! It's gonna be great!
chilln_chick2002 - November 21, 2007 01:11 AM (GMT)

[EXCLUSIVE] Madonna looking for new director and choreographer for her NEW SINGLE!!
| QUOTE |
Madonna has been in Los Angeles to discuss details with Execs at Live Nation at their Los Angeles office.
As you know, Madonna is now in New York and today, Sunday December 2, she will attend the private screening of Guy Ritchie "Revolver".
Next days, probably on Monday, Madonna will go to Warner Brothers offices to discuss her new album.
Madonna is shopping around for video directors and choreographers for her first single! She is looking for NEW people to choreograph for her and she also would like to pair with a new director... BRAND new. But she wants only top A LISTERS video directors.
Madonna want a great video for her new single. The budget for the video is huge!
Choreographer and directors will send their reels to Madonna next week. Then, Madonna will narrow down to a few. Whoever will get call to talk to Madonna, will have to fly to New York City and listen to the single in presence of Madonna at the Warner Bros. offices and discuss about the video. Security is VERY tight!
Aren't you excited?!!? |

Agrees. COAF Videos Weren't The Greatest. Well Get Together Was Good.
I Hope This Album Tops COAF, AL & Possibly Music.
AmelleLover26m - December 2, 2007 06:20 PM (GMT)
A big budget will never create the best videos. Take into account most of today's video's use CGI effects, they are actually cheaper in the long run. The computer does most of the work.
Wow! - December 2, 2007 06:21 PM (GMT)
There Are Props/Sets Etc. They Cost The Big Bucks.

I Want to see aloada choreographed dancing
With aloada dancers behind her
its got to be the video gimme more should of had
but better.

If she gets the right director behind her im sure it will do well.

New music 'so hot'
| QUOTE |
Madonna's new song with Pharrell Williams is so 'hot' it will 'make the music speakers bleed'. The 'Hung Up' singer has been in the studio with hit producer Pharrell creating tracks for her upcoming album, and he claims their collaboration will take the music industry by storm. Speaking at the launch of his new shop Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream in New York on Wednesday, Pharrell said: 'It was crazy. I don't want to say too much. I'd rather wait for you to hear it. It's awesome though. It makes the speakers bleed. It's hot!' Earlier this month, it was reported Pharrell had been recording with the 49-year-old singer at Record Plant Studios in Los Angeles. The pair reportedly bumped into Kanye West, who was working with Michael Jackson in a studio next-door, inspiring the hip-hop star to rap on one of Madonna's new songs. Last month, Madonna signed a $120 million, 10-year record deal with Live Nation Inc. and plans to release her first studio album with the label early next year. Also set to feature on the hotly-anticipated LP are star producer Timbaland and 'SexyBack' singer Justin Timberlake. |
Wow! - December 2, 2007 06:36 PM (GMT)
I'm Confused Now. :\
I Thought The First Single Was Timbaland/Danja. Now Its Pharrel.
I Hope Its A Timbaland Song. The Pharrell Demos Have Been So Crap Lately.
Tommy - December 2, 2007 06:38 PM (GMT)
The first single is Timbaland/Justin or Danja
I Think that bit of news is just describing an album track.
The Beat Goes On and Candy Shop were just released to test the public
And to get opinions, so hopefully theyve been scrapped.
Pharrel is pretty shit, but now and then he produces some gems.
Wow! - December 2, 2007 06:41 PM (GMT)
I Hope Her New Song Tops Hung Up.
I Hope Theres Bedtime Stories esque Songs On The Album. -Prays-

[EXCLUSIVE] Madonna's Album Listening Party more in Details!
| QUOTE |
EXCLUSIVE - Drowned Madonna can tell you Madonna album listening party in details.
The room was decked out in a candy theme, champagne was being served, candy everywhere you look for everyone. The conference room it was held in was totally transformed.
There were red and white stripes & stools as the theme plus like colored bricks and lots of candy all over.
There were all Re-Invention Tour stage shots in the room including a big poster that may be the cover of the Lisbon DVD. No other photos of anything else, just RIT.
Madonna came at 5:30pm with Ingrid Casares and Guy Oseary, wearing all black - blouse, skirt, and boots. Liz Rosenberg was there of course, she is the one who organized the party and set up the theme.
Madonna sat on a couch with Liz Rosenberg and Ingrid Casares as the tracks played.
Madonna dictated what tracks would be played and specifically said they were not being played in any order.
She said she had just finished mixing the album a few days ago.
Madonna played "Candyshop," then "4 Minutes To Save The World" first. She then had a vote on which one would be the first single. She said many times throughout the session that the first single has yet ot be decided.
She is all about "Candy Shop" and looked upset and surprised there was a better reaction to "4 Minutes To Save The World".
"4 Minutes To Save The World" is like a dancey "Hey You". It goes something like "Hey girl, save the world...".
"The Beat Goes On" sounds NOTHING like the demo we heard. As we told you, it features Kanyes West. Madonna said it's not a single. Madonna made the song out to seem like a joke.
"Miles Away" and "The Devil Wouldn't Recognize You" has then been played.
Many times she would not announce the names of songs before playing them but there were sogns with the following main hooks:
"She's Not Me" , "Feel It In My Heartbeat" and "Dance Tonight" .
There is also a song which Madonna called a "psychological mind f*ck" which questioned who was the master or slave, if youre walking the dog or the dogs walking you.
Finally, Madonna said there are thirteen tracks, but she only played 10 songs. |
Thats worried me :unsure:

[EXCLUSIVE] Madonna's New Album Tentative Title & More Details on the Album!
| QUOTE |
EXCLUSIVE - Drowned Madonna can exclusively reveal that Madonna's new album is tentatively titled "Give It To Me."
"This next song is called 'Give It To Me' and that’s what I want to call the record," said Madonna.
The first single is still undecided. It will either be "4 Minutes To Save The World" or "Candyshop."
"The Beat Goes On" is on the album, but is completely reworked. It also now features Kanye West.
There is one track that is dance and acustic someway at the same time and it is called "Miles Away." Madonna has a lot of harmonies on it. Her voice sounds great. A gem!
There are 13 tracks on the album, which also includes a re-invention of "The Devil Wouldn’t Recognize You", which, as you probably remember is a song that Mike McKnight revealed and described in an exclusive interview held by Drowned Madonna several years ago. The song was originally wrote by Madonna for a musical and was also originally planned to be performed in the re-Invention Tour.
The album is still planned to be released on LATE APRIL, as Drowned Madonna - the only discordant voice from all reports - revealed. Madonna herself said that her album will be out the last week of April. |
Along as they make Candyshop abit more juicy louder and edgier
and also rework the first 2 minutes, keeping "My Sugar is raw" as the hook
with timbaland/danja beats. just generally bulk it up and make it WOW
Then i'll be happy with that :P
Taller In More Ways - December 4, 2007 04:22 PM (GMT)
CANDY SHOP & THE BEAT GOES ON are both pretty mediocre. I tend to like TBGO better though... would actually sound awesome with a heavy influence of Spanish guitars.
Wow! - December 4, 2007 05:04 PM (GMT)
The "My Sugar Is Raw" Bit Is Like The Best Part Of The Song.
Tommy - December 4, 2007 05:11 PM (GMT)
Album isnt looking to good is it :unsure:
I'll remain open minded
Its just Candyshop is boring
And 4 minutes to save the world reaks of Charity
I Dont know...
time will tell.
PLUS The album title
Remind you of a timbaland song?
Stupidness
Wow! - December 4, 2007 05:16 PM (GMT)
I Think Some Of The News Thats Come Out From These Sites Has Been Misleading.
Websites/Forums Can Type Up Crap.
I'm Still Hoping For Something Great. She Usually Has Awesome Stuff.

Madonna Names New Album 'Licorice'
Madonna has christened her final Warner Bros. studio album "Licorice," and will release the set in late April. The news was broken today (Dec. 6) on former Billboard editor Larry Flick's Sirius Satellite Radio show "OutQ."
On the broadcast, Flick also aired two songs from the album, "Candy Shop" and "The Beat Goes On." Both cuts leaked online earlier this year.
Unconfirmed reports say Madonna previewed the album in recent days for Warner Bros. staff members in New York. Kanye West is said to guest on "The Beat Goes On," while an older unreleased tune, "The Devil Wouldn't Recognize You," appears in a new version.
As previously reported, following "Licorice" and a greatest hits collection, Madonna will record for Artist Nation, a new initiative launched by concert promoter Live Nation.
The 10-year deal encompasses all of Madonna's future music and music-related businesses, including the exploitation of the Madonna brand, new studio albums, touring, merchandising, fan clubs/Web sites, DVDs, music-related television and film projects and associated sponsorship agreements.

Taller In More Ways - December 7, 2007 10:06 AM (GMT)
*lol* I just had to translate the title into German because I didn't know what it could signify. :P LEO translated it as a candy which I absolutely HATE to eat! It tastes awful IMO, but if it sounds like licorice, it should be hot! I imagine something dark and creative... but then again: the teasers weren't amazing AT ALL. :unsure:
Tommy - December 7, 2007 06:38 PM (GMT)
Haha, i hate Licorice aswell
love the name though
She just needs to of reworked the demos
to make them more meaty and raw
Abit darker etc
Abit Kelis - Milkshake but more modern
guess we'll see :D

Today all the press is reporting that Madonna's new album is officially titled "Licorice".
That's absolutely untrue, and that's why we decided not to publish those reports, despites tones of your submissions!
As we reported, the album is tentatively called "Give It To Me".
But how these false rumours started?
Yesterday Larry Flick at Sirius radio aired the demo of "Candy Shop" and "The Beat Goes On" which leaked months ago and said that the OFFICIAL title of Madonna's new album is "Licorice". |
How depressing.
Wow! - December 8, 2007 10:23 AM (GMT)
Ugh. I Hate It When People Make Up Stories. Glad Its Not Licorice Isn't The Title.
I Want To Remain Postive About The Album But I Can't Help But Think Its Gonna Be Her Worst Album Musically & Lyrically.

Madonna to shoot album cover in December 22 in the UK
| QUOTE |
MadonnaTribe has heard, and can finally report, some concrete exclusive info about the photoshoot Madonna will be doing for the cover of her new album. The Queen of Pop will be shooting the album cover on December 22nd in the United Kingdom. She will be following again tradition, as the photographer is again Steven Klein. The album design will be once again in charge of designer Giovanni Bianco.
Stay tuned for further details. |
Give It To Me!
| QUOTE |
MadonnaTribe sources can bring more exclusive news about the title track of Madonna's new album. Give It To Me is a song produced by Pharrell Williams, and it's a very catchy uptempo track that reminds of early Madonna tracks from the "pre-Madonna era" such as "Love on the run". The fans who were worried that this album would be too hip-hop would be happy to know that it's very 80's in its structure and it's pure Madonna. A person who apparently heard the song said it sounds quite "cartoonish". The "Give It To Me" phrase has nothing to do with a supposed "sexual content" as rumoured on a few Madonna forums, but it's said in the sense of "I'll handle the situation for you".
A male voice is also singing backing vocals on part of the second verse and Madonna reprises a couple of lyrics from "The Beat Goes On" on this one.
The break is very strange, the song basically stops suddenly while Madonna says "Don't Stop It" the male voice, probably Pharell himself says "to the left, to the right".
This song would also make a great single! |
