We’ve seen a lot of of names thrown around… the obvious choice to play the leading role in the biopic was there all along: Spoiler
I’m putting a club night on in Manchester in May, dedicated to both mum and the album that completely changed my life. Excuse the blatant self-promotion, but it’s a night I’ve dreamt of hosting, and it would be gorgeous to see some PJ’ers there.
I've just noticed Pre-Madonna is no longer on streaming, or at least I can't find it on Apple Music anymore. I wonder if this has anything to do with the reissues?
Madonna's team have said "American Pie" will be getting the HD treatment soon. I remember buying 'American Pie' on CD single in MVC back in 2000. It was the first thing I brought by Madonna. Before that I was given the "Beautiful Stranger" CD single as a present. So it's nice to see both singles I hold dearly appear on streaming services after all this time.
Her "American Pie" cover is underrated. It's maybe one of her finest studio vocals ever. Sublime; those verses just glide. I could listen to her do the full version of the song any day.
American Pie was the first CD of hers I bought and I remember watching the QuickTime video that was included on the single on REPEAT. I only heard the original years later and still think M’s version is unfairly maligned, sorry to classic dad rock fans.
I hadn't thought about it before, but the Music reissue would be the perfect opportunity to release American Pie (8 Minute Version) (Madonna's Version) (From The Vault). I know it's more likely she'll just remove American Pie from the tracklist entirely, but still.
