I agree with Disco Cowboy; Martin Solveig is too mainstream for Madonna to repeat the true underground, "out of nowhere" success she found with William Orbit or Mirwais. At least he has only had one top 20 hit in the U.S., so it won't be a repeat of the Timbaland fiasco. But I suspect Martin is a bit of a disappointment for her European fans. I can see why she's drawn to Martin, as he merges a little bit of rock with his dance, a la Mirwais. Whatever they come up with should be highly adaptable on tour. Martin could also add some levity and humor to the album image, particularly the videos, which M could use some help with lately. I wonder if Lourdes will be in the studio translating French for her.

I don't think that she should work with Martin Solveig. He isn't all that unknown and underground (well, to middle America, yes) but in the Dance/Electronic world, he has been out for a while. I feel that his sound is a tad outdated and played out. Agree completely.

EXCLUSIVE: The latest rumours from Madonna's recording studioOur source and staff member Superpop shared exclusive news about Madonna's first days in the recording studio for her new album: Madonna is working on an ambitious project, she has listened to the demo recordings which were submitted to her in the last few years, and some of them have already been completely upset by her. She's the writer of almost all of the new lyrics. Producer Joe Henry is involved in two songs so far. Most of the other producers are not so famous. Her record company wanted her to work with renowned producers such as RedOne, which she refused to do. One of the demo tracks that have already been recorded in the last few days starts off with some piano and violins then turning into a dance track. Its title may be "Way Back Home", which is a demo tape from Diagram Of The Heart. Aside from Diagram Of The Heart, musical inspirations for this album include Jessica 6, Beth Ditto and The Sound Of Arrows. More detailed news should be coming in in a month's time. The album will most probably be out this November, though this may depend on how work in the studio will develop. www.queenmadonna.com/newsen.htmthis was posted on AbsoluteMadonna. I love that all the "news" and "rumors" are being circulated like mad already. Madonna has been sorely missed!

yes, i'm lovin the rumors, too. It's amazing how much buzz there is already for her. Proves she's totally relevant, even after a near 30 years.

Live Nation will be distributing her albums, yes? I know she made that comment about not having a record label, but I thought from the announcement of the Live Nation deal, that LN would handle things. But, who knows.

Madonna Is Taking Our Advice For Her New Album! by John Mitchell in Madonna, Music, danceA few weeks ago, Madonna’s manager Guy Oseary took to Twitter to announce that the Queen of Pop was about to hit the studio to begin work on her twelfth studio album – her first since 2008’s Hard Candy. At the time, we had a few suggestions for Madge. We recommended she A.) stay away from “hot” producers like RedOne or Dr. Luke, B.) make some real dance music, and C.) use the ups and downs of the last few years to write about something substantial. And guess what? She’s taking our advice! Oseary tweeted that Her Madgesty began work on the untitled album on the Fourth of July. Now the first producer has been named and he’s someone to get excited about: Martin Solveig. Solveig is a French electronic music DJ and producer best known for work with Canadian electropop group Dragonette and the song “Hello,” which became a hit in the U.S. after being featured in commercials for Trident. Remember what happened the last time Madonna worked with a lesser-known French DJ? Music happened. "David Guetta, Joachim Garaud, Martin Solveig, Bob Sinclair – these dudes are all part of the French guard of house music coming onto the scene in the early 2000s," MTV News' resident dance music expert Akshay Bhansali tells us. "He's [Solveig] always been well respected, but this year, singles-wise, he's probably made more commercially on music than Guetta." Solveig's good rep and ear for commercially viable dance music will be important, because this is an especially important album for Madonna. As silly as it may sound, it’s her first post-Gaga record and because of that, it will be viewed and critiqued through that lens. Earlier this year, Gaga was slapped on the wrist by music critics who felt her smash “Born This Way” sounded a little too close for comfort to Madonna’s 1989 hit “Express Yourself.” Gaga’s aesthetic is also often compared to Madonna’s. So anyone who thinks Madonna won’t experience this same scrutiny in reverse as soon as she produces something new is naïve. Critics’ first question won’t be, “What does it sound like?” Instead they’ll ask, “Does it sound like Gaga?” And the answer needs to be no (or at least “not really”). That’s why we recommended she avoid in-demand producers. If a producer is famous enough for the mainstream public to have some idea of who they are, then people will be able to spot their sound immediately – think RedOne’s bombastic beats for Gaga or the slick thump Dr. Luke puts together for Britney Spears and Katy Perry. Madonna at her best is forward-thinking and ahead of the musical curve; she doesn’t want to sound derivative (like she did working with “hot” producers Pharrell Williams, Nate Hills and Timbaland on Hard Candy). She seems to know it too. Digital Spy reports Madonna declined her record company’s request to record with RedOne. “She's the writer of almost all of the new lyrics. Producer Joe Henry is involved in two songs so far. Most of the other producers are not so famous,” DS writes, citing Madonna fansite Queen Madonna. (Having worked with people like Elvis Costello, Aimee Man and Loudon Wainwright III, Henry is better known for bluesy rock and jazz than he is pop. But he has a unique relationship with Madge – he is her brother-in-law – and co-wrote one of her best songs, 2000’s “Don’t Tell Me.”) "He's a very capable producer, and maybe the fact that he’s an electronic dance music producer that has made two huge songs that don't sound too clubby is something that drew Madonna," Bhansali says of Solveig. "‘Hello’ doesn't feel like your average fist pump song. It feels more cultured than that – and perhaps that's what she's after." Madonna was the primary songwriter on Music, Ray of Light and Confessions on a Dance Floor, and on all three she worked closely with little known European DJs/producers, Mirwais Ahmadzai, William Orbit and Stuart Price, respectively. It’s great that she seems to be reverting back to a formula that has worked well for her in the past. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. newsroom.mtv.com/2011/07/06/madonna-new-album-martin-solveig/

I would love a new album in November, but I wouldn't be surprised if it comes out in March.

I don't think she would want to combine promo for her album and movie at the same time or one overshadowing the other. I believe she will wait until w.e. has come and gone. I'd say March or April release. Wish it was before the holidays tho. Tooo excited.

I feel that his sound is a tad outdated and played out. Agree completely. I agree with this too. Perhaps a collaboration with one fun song, but if it's going to be a copy of Hello, then no.... I don't want her to follow. I want her to lead with her sound.

but taking a step back, this is obviously leaked to build hype, and to come a mere 3 days after she's in the recording studio is just EPIC!
QUEEN OF HYPE!!!

Spree, don't say you can't hear anything when, in the one clip especially, you can hear what she's saying clear as day.

You can barely hear the clips and I did not like what I was able to hear. But no worries. What do they mean anyway? Nothing.
