Now that M.I.A. let the cat out of the bag over the weekend via Twitter that she has been summoned to New York to lend a verse along with Nicki Minaj to Madonna's highly-anticipated 12th album, DJ/Producer Martin Solveig has spoken out for the first time in regards to the new music he is working on with the Queen of Pop.
As I have said since the album started to take shape, Solveig is working with Benny Benassi and William Orbit on the new sound and Madonna has worked with songwriter Jean Baptiste Koame (Chris Brown, Kelis, Rihanna) on the lyrics. The French DJ/Producer, who was doing a DJ set in Boston recently did an interview where he talked about Give Me All Your Love, the confirmed first single that unfortunately leaked online last month.
“We had a terrible leak … and everyone is very upset about what happened,” Solveig tells the Boston Herald, with regards to the M.I.A.- and Minja-less demo of single “Give Me All Your Love” that found its way online earlier this month.
“I would have considered this as impossible,” Solveig says about collaborating with Madonna. “People ask who you would dream to work with. To me working with Madonna was not really something I could do. When I got the call, first I thought it was a joke. And then when I realized it wasn’t, I was really overwhelmed. The collaboration has been an enormous joy and an enormous surprise.”
As many of us Madonna disciples know M-Dolla has always had a love affair with the French, musically and creatively speaking, of course. I'll even go on the record to say besides William Orbit (who is British), her best music was when she collaborated with Mirwais (who is of French/Afghani descent) and Stuart Price (who is also British, but he also goes by the name Jacques Lu Cont - so in my head I would consider his other personality French). I just hope that once Madonna's album is finally released in the Spring, we can finally get Martin Solveig's CD released on our shores without having to spend a hell of a lot of money getting it on import.
