Madonna interview

On Air With Ryan SeacrestRyan SeacrestInterview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Madonna during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about M.I.A rising her middle finger during the Super Bowl half time performance.

I was really surprised. I didn’t know anything about it. I wasn’t happy about it. I understand it’s punk rock and everything, but to me there was such a feeling of love and good energy, and positivity it seemed negative. It’s such a teenager irrelevant thing to do there was such a feeling of love and unity there what was the point? It was just out of place.

Harper’s Bazaar interview

Interview0 Comments

Madonna gives an interview to Harper’s Bazaar Magazine about her family.

Lourdes has her group of friends and she spends time with her father, who she adores. He also lives in the city, and they take the subway together. She calls it my normal life, and I know that she enjoys it. She likes going to her abuela’s house they still live in the same apartment that her father grew up in on the Upper West Side, a one-bedroom apartment. And they are really simple, humble people, and I’m so happy that she has that. My son, Rocco, is really into break-dancing. He has a crew that he dances with, and they’re kids from all over the city, Brooklyn, Queens. And my two youngest children are adopted from Malawi, and we discuss on a regular basis the orphanages they come from and the other children who didn’t get adopted, who might still be in the orphanages, or don’t even have an orphanage. We talk about the disparity in lifestyles and we all go back there. I’m doing my best to keep them grounded.

4 Minutes

Danja HillsJustin TimberlakeTimbalandSingle Release0 Comments

The artist releases her song, 4 Minutes, from her album, Hard Candy. Madonna co-writes the song with Timberlake, Hills and Timbaland.

I really enjoy writing with Justin. We had psychoanalytic sessions whenever we wrote songs first. We’d sit down and we’d start talking about situations. And then we’d start talking about issues or problems or relationships with people. That was the only way, because you know, writing together with somebody is very intimate. That was fun, because he’s open and he’s got talent. He’s a songwriter. I haven’t worked with a lot of songwriters where I’m instantly connected and start riffing and playing with the rhythm of the words. He’s as interested in the rhythm of the words as the meaning of the words.

O Magazine interview

Britney SpearsO MagazineInterview0 Comments

Madonna speaks about kissing Spears on the MTV Video Music Awards in an interview with  O Magazine. 

When Britney went to kiss me, she just went for it. I tried to go with it so it wouldn’t be weird. I’m a showgirl. After 20 years in show business, I’ve learned to roll with the punches. Also, you remember when Michael Jackson kissed Lisa Marie Presley on the MTV awards?

American Life

Single Release0 Comments

The artist releases her song, American Life, from her album with the same title.

Different things inspire me to write. I could be having a guitar lesson and something will just come to me. Or Mirwais will send me over music – rough stuff that doesn’t have an arrangement basic chord progressions. American Life came about itself like that. The music has to jar my brain in terms of lyrics. Sometimes I write free verse. I have a journal and I note down ideas I get from newspapers and books.
