Posted June 29, 20205 yr ...obviously the album is heavily influenced by Madonna. In fact, we're about to try and get Madonna on a record. I'm going to write the email and see if she's up for the track Dua Lipa's manager in this week's edition of Music Week. MAKE IT HAPPEN!
June 29, 20205 yr :o! Future Nostalgia is hugely influenced by Madonna in a great way, so this must happen!
June 29, 20205 yr Author 'Levitating' is the rumoured track: WHuBW3qKm9g It would mean Madonna featuring on a Stuart Price production again! I'm getting so giddy at the thought of this happening. I just hope Madonna's vocals won't be butchered.
June 29, 20205 yr Author One of the song's writers, Sarah Hudson, has been sharing images of Madonna on her insta stories...
June 29, 20205 yr I don't want to be a cynic but I can't hear Madonna on this. I'll hope to be happily surprised if it happens though!
June 29, 20205 yr Shame the only way for legends to have hits these days is to work with young talent. I love the FN album. And love levitating.
June 29, 20205 yr I think Madonna would work better on a track like Hallucinate or Love Again tbh. I'd rather Katy Perry for Levitating!
June 29, 20205 yr Author Yeah I could imagine Madonna on 'Hallucinate'. I'm still down for 'Levitating' though, I feel like they would have to royally f*ck up for it to be terrible.
June 29, 20205 yr Hallucinate would be my first choice for a song that Madonna would qork best on too but hey, I'm here for this too of course (if it happens).
June 30, 20205 yr I don’t know how to feel about this. Maybe it’s more of a Madonna will feature in the video sense like she did in God is a woman. Idk I’d be here for it but like Madonna’s vocals on record are hit and miss these days she legit sounds better live actually. I can hear her on Levitating more than Hallucinate weirdly but idk. Katy I think would go better than Madonna but If Madonna is legit on the track it could become her best performing hit since Celebration!
June 30, 20205 yr Author 'Levitating' probably already is bigger than all of Madonna's post-'Celebration' singles. :P It's definitely a vocal feature, whether it actually is Madonna or not. I do have a similar worry to you regarding what Madonna's vocals would sound like. I think the vocal editing on 'Madame X' is effective, but I'm aware that it won't work on 'Levitating' next to Dua's vocals. I hope that Dua's team get more sway on how the vocals will be used given it's their song.
June 30, 20205 yr Yeah Dua's team need to take control and make this sound how they want to so it suits Dua's vocals and isn't too disparate!
