Orbit to work with Madonna on extra acoustic versions of their songs
Today was William Orbit‘s turn to talk a bit about what we should expect from Madonna’s MDNA, and they were definetly much more than some simple insights that he shared…
So far we knew what co-producers Martin Solveig and Benny Benassi had to say on their tracks and we also heard that the songs Madonna worked on together with Orbit were going to have a rather different vibe.
Live on the BBC World Services tonight William eplained that he contributed six songs to MDNA but that’s not it. Click here to listen to a recording of the broadcast – jump to min. 19 for the MDNA bit.
“You’ve been kind of busy lately with Madonna. Was it six tracks on MDNA, the latest album which is about to come out? Six tracks is that you worked on?” BBC’s Mark Coles asked him.
“It was six last time I counted, but we keep adding special tracks“, he said. “You keep adding or she keeps adding?” Coles asked him, and he replied, laughing “Well she’s driving the train, and I go along happily!”
William revealed that he’s in touch with Madonna at this very moment, he was actually on his BlackBerry before the broadcast started and they plan to work together tonight, him in London and her in New York. “Deadlines, you know…” he explained.
“What she’s decided to do is extra acoustic versions. There’ some pretty hard rocking tracks, there is a very different… eclectic variation of styles but mostly pretty savage actually” – he said “the singles that did come out aren’t necessarily representative…”
This may sound surprising, but it’s not. MadonnaTribe can report that Madonna and William Orbit have been planning to work on this since a while.
The last time we heard about it there was no final decision on how these extra tracks were going to be used, but for sure they found a great way to let us all enjoy them soon…
As you see, MDNA still has a lot to reveal!
