Madonna Calls M.D.N.A. 'Action-Packed!
http://www.mtv.com/n...sterpiece.jhtml
Queen of Pop tells MTV News most of her upcoming album is more 'high-energy' than award-winning 'Masterpiece.'
Madonna has teased fans not only inadvertently with a leaked demo of her first single for "Gimme All Your Luvin," but also with "Masterpiece" (which also appears on the soundtrack for her film, "W.E."). So far it seems that the two very different tracks show the two very different sides that the Queen of Pop is pursuing on her next studio release, M.D.N.A.
While "Gimme" plays up Madge's playful, upbeat persona, "Masterpiece," as she explained to MTV News, is a different story. " 'Masterpiece' is one of the few kind of more down-tempo songs, more reflective," she told MTV News at the New York City premiere of "W.E."
"I think the majority of the record is more action-packed," she teased. "More high-energy." It seems, then, that what fans have heard of "Gimme" is more of what they will hear on the album.
The album will reportedly get a March release date. It features production from Martin Solveig on its lead single, which gets some presumably sassy assists from two fierce female MCs, Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. Both ladies will reportedly take the stage with the pop icon to perform the track at the Super Bowl halftime show.
Madonna also worked with longtime collaborator and Ray Of Light producer William Orbit, who produced the Golden Globe-winning "Masterpiece." "We've worked on stuff for so many years that we kind of finish each other's sentences. He knows my taste and what I like," she explained at the premiere. "Magic happens when we get into a recording studio together."
At the Globes, Madonna recalled how "Masterpiece" came together. "[My manager Guy Oseary] harangued me for the entire time I was filming and editing my movie to write a song," she said during her acceptance speech for Best Original Song. "And I said, 'Please, Guy, I'm trying to focus on being a director and I want people to pay attention to the film and I don't have time.' So then I finished the film and I started making my record and somehow magically and miraculously the song emerged, 'Masterpiece,' so thank you, Guy Oseary, for being so irritating."

Madonna Describes Songs On M.D.N.A!
You have a new album coming out in a few months. Because you were simultaneously working on this film, were you thinking about love and romance when you made the album?
Yes, but it’s also kind of cheeky and ironic. I am dealing with a lot of issues of romance, forgiveness, redemption, revenge, betrayal. The song I wrote for the film [which will run with the closing credits], “Masterpiece,” is really a very romantic song. So it runs the gamut of every emotion you can imagine: girls gone wild, having a sense of abandonment, having fun, getting in your car and turning up the radio so loud you can’t hear anything, escapism.
There’s a song “Gimme All Your Luvin’” that leaked on the Internet. How did you feel about that?
What leaked was an early demo without [Nicki Minaj and M.I.A.] on it. It’s happened before, but it never happened so quickly. Now, it doesn’t take much. It’s really disappointing because you don’t want things to come out till you’re done with them, till you’re ready. It’s like everybody looking at your unfinished painting. It’s like, “Wait a minute. I didn’t finish that. That’s not fair.”
What made you want to work with Nicki Minaj and M.I.A.?
I like their music and I like what they represent. They are strong, independent girls with a unique voice.

Madonna & "W.E." Take Manhattan
If "W.E." is a flop, it won’t be for lack of promotional effort from Madonna:
The director premiered her film yet again with a starry screening at the massive "Ziegfeld Theater" on Monday evening — following a string of earlier premieres in Venice, Toronto, London and an event in December in New York.
Madonna choked up and was close to tears, while thanking her deceased mother and film editors on the project, during an address to the packed audience, including "W.E." cast members Andrea Riseborough, James D’Arcy and Oscar Isaac.
"I’m really tired from working my ass off for the 'Super Bowl'. Anybody, who knows me, knows that, when I’m tired, I cry. So, if I cry, please don’t hold it against me. I’m really not a sentimental kind of person", said Madonna, wearing a dramatic black "Marchesa" gown.
"I never get sick of watching the movie, because you're in it", she enthused of her cast, before settling into her seat to watch the flick, centered on the romance between the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
"I’ve known Madonna since she was 19. She was barely famous", recalled Diane von Furstenberg, on line for popcorn.
"She came to a party that I was giving. She had a big hat, and nobody talked to her, except my mother."
Following the premiere, sponsored by the "Cinema Society" and "Forevermark Diamonds", Madonna partied late into the night — despite her fatigue — at the "Top of the Standard", followed by an even more exclusive dance party at "Le Bain".
Ditching the "Marchesa" for a casual look, Madonna shimmied enthusiastically on the glimmering dance floor with her backup dancers.
A small conga line of friends interrupted her chest pops.
Towards the end of the night, a young assistant’s birthday was celebrated with a cake and sparklers, while Madonna led the crowd in singing "Happy Birthday".
"People think of me as a singer and performer, and maybe it seems unusual to choose to make a film. But it’s important to note that I think of myself as a storyteller", said Madonna.
"When I write songs, I tell stories. When I put on shows and perform on stage, I'm telling a story. And with this film I told a story."
