Madonna - 15th Album

Also pictured great Paul Morley's book A Sound Mind: How I Fell In Love with Classical Music (And Decided To Rewrite Its Entire History)
I get it, but she has presumably worked with other artists too. Stuart could have been brought in to executive produce, add tracks and create some cohesion between her alleged studio time with artists like Honey Dijon, Arca, Sickick, Max Martin etc…
Stuart is however the kind of producer who is able to go in many sonic directions, a distinct flavor and quality in his music but not a pinned down set in stone type of “sound”. His work for Zoot Woman, Les Rhythmes Digitales, Juliet, Madonna, etc differ quite a lot
he/him
I could also be “a love I want”
I want that too! but only after another Stuart produced album first. I feel like theres some unfinished business between the two of them and now after the Celebration tour feels like the perfect time for M15 to be produced by THE producer most fans seem to want her to reunite with.
Confessions had Bloodshy & Avant and Mirwaïs on production as well (and Anders Bagge & Peer Åström in the writing/early version of Get Together). I highly doubt she would make a full album with Stuart Price only.
Other than Like a Virgin and American Life all of her albums had more than one co-producer, I'm sure if they're good she'll squeeze in the Honey Dijon & Max Martin bangers.

FUCK
I don't know. Other than Pat Leonard, I don't think any of her reunions have yielded the desired results and he was only co-writing, not producing. Orbit and Mirwais did some interesting stuff but neither reached the heights of their original collaboration and expectations are so high after almost 20 years (!!!) from Confessions. I wonder if they're just doing some post-production work on the tour, or maybe working on the reissues.
Confessions On A Dancefloor is one of her clunkiest (and most misleading) album titles, so I'll pass on that.
To be fair, Mirwais widened his sonic palette immensely on Madame X, so much so that it didn't occur to me to compare what he and Madonna did on the album to Music and American Life.
How is misleading when it’s basically American Life part 2 on “disco beat” lyrically?
I don't really think it is though. It's only similar lyrically in the broadest of strokes. Where are songs like Nobody Knows Me, Mother & Father, I'm So Stupid, etc.? American Life is specific. Confessions is full of platitudes. The closest she gets to American Life-like introspection is How High and even that song is super general.
Confessions is another Kaballah heavy album. Of course American Life is more specific but it’s hardly Like A Virgin or True Blue.
Well, it's not going to be because Confessions is still Madonna in a more mature phrase, but to me, Confessions almost seems like a palette cleanser after American Life even if they both draw from Kaballah.
