  1. I thought this thread was about Madonna's single releases, not fucking Mariah Carey

  2. Nothing like that. Madonna wanted to move back to New York and Angela had just started building a life in London with Stuart. She went on to manage Pet Shop Boys. Madonna was still in touch with Stuart, he did not pop back up last year, he did incidental music for W.E., that's their last public project together, like Patrick Leonard did some score for IABWA. It's like a lot has been said about Caresse Henry, it's just that Madonna was disssatisfied and did not like Caresse's vision of the business anymore and wanted new blood and perspective after AL.

  3. This is Mariah Infinity now. Any news yet on that Charmbracelet anniversary boxset Mariah has been personally curating for 3 years? @ScottyX might know .

  4. She was not happy hence why she divorced. It's pretty clear when you read her interviews from 2003/2005 and American Life does not sound like the album of a happy person. Guy and her were constantly arguing and then going to Philip Berg to conciliate.

  6. In the UK, I'll Remember is a largely forgotten hit. On its release it had low sales hitting Number 7 on the charts. Very low for a non-album single.

  7. Analysis and comparisons of different artists release strategies for their back catalogues in comparison to M's. At least there's something to talk about while we wait for the next release. I hope they're not holding things back for that Rauhofer vinyl RSD release, granted that does look interesting.

  8. My favorite manager was Freddy Demann. Very old-school. Regardless, Madonna always ran the show in the end.

  9. The Glitter Soundtrack was entirely Mariah Carey and had four singles (five if you count Never Too Far as a separate single from the Never Too Far/Hero Medley which was a separate release that had some cheesy but fun Al B Rich mixes and another set by Mike Rizzo). The other releases were Loverboy, Don't Stop (Funkin' For Jamaica), and Reflections (Care Enough). The Honey Classic Radio and Classic Radio Instrumental were sadly never released commercially. Some other mixes that were commercially released but missed by the MC30 campaign are I Stay In Love (Jody Den Broeder Club Mix), the Jump Smokers and Jermaine Dupri mixes of You're Mine (Eternal), the Soda Club mixes of Through The Rain released via DMC in Europe, the Reggae Soul remixes of Always Be My Baby... I could keep going.

  13. It's definitely a great song. I think it helps in her discography to lead from Erotica into Bedtime Stories. Rain is significantly better in my opinion, though. I'd much rather hear it live again on tour instead.

  14. Kevin has been dreadful for Madonnas live arrangements let's not rewrite history. Her worst tour arrangements have been since 2008 since he took over. She's never worked with one person so much. He must be cheap cause she keeps having him back and he's really below par. Stuart was a genius but let's not forget the beautiful work done on her tours prior to him. Nothing has been remotely worthy since 2008 outside of the original arrangements with a lil extension her and there. Her previous reinventions elevated the songs or drew out something in them unseen before. Kevins are basic bitch 101. He's the worst thing that happened to her career wise along with Ricardo. I think he's woeful. Sorry Kev. True Blue acoustic - stunning (but lets be honest a ukulele is hardly groundbreaking) The things he's done with Vogue (hacked too death) / Toot Toot Groove / Hung Up / Like A Prayer / Open Your Heart are unforgivable. Reaching for soundcloud fan mixes? What on earth!! There's zero ambition. I think he's shocking. Imagine Stuart putting his name to that Rebel Heart medley. Sorry not sorry.

  15. Maria will likely buy that album back for herself. I think Madonna would have done the same with the Interscope albums if that was a thing. I'm so grateful Madonna stuck to one company throughout her career. Seemingly the inter scope ones are in her hands under care of Warner now

  16. I didn´t know Angela was Stuart, wow, that´s very juicy stuff. LOL Are they still together? I feel Madonna was happier on those great years, she was very well cared, with a family and on the top. I might be wrong, but till COAD I think those years were her best personally.

  17. One of my favorite remixers period is MJ Cole and both of his remixes of Loverboy should be on streaming. Epic fail. He has done several high profile remixes in the pre-streaming era that just aren't on streaming, so frustrating.

  25. It´s like she feels vulnerable singing those songs for the people, in the concerts she loves so much that fighting, survivor, super woman stronger than the machos, who is very much in shape, and almost like a super hero, or protesting on the system, but she usually don´t let´s us see a more vulnerable side of her. One of my favourite live performances by her of all time was gone on the drowned world tour, gosh, she seemed like she felt so mucho those lyrics. I prefer much more than one that the whole geisha circus you know.

  26. I’ll Remember is probably the Madonna song I hear in US classic adult contemporary radio. Like the shit they play in grocery stores and gas stations. For personal reasons it’s one of my fave Madonna tracks of all time.

  27. The Beatles released 3 double disc albums of alternate takes and demos. Prince Estate is slowly rolling out the alleged treasure trove of material. I guess it goes back to the question I asked in another thread: What is the essential purpose of "Promotional Content"? Does it expire? If the people that are given/distributed the "Promotional Content" do not like it/promote it - does that make it obsolete? There was a time the "industry" treated promos like the holy grail or "key to the city" for up and coming talent but the internet has definitely ruined that/changed the hands of the "taste makers". Buenos Aires remixes have entered the chat.

  30. Exactly. But when we get EP’s like Bedtime Story and Frozen, it shows us that they can easily add most of the versions out there and so when they just throw up a UK or US single missing several mixes, it can be a bit disappointing. Some other fans here are acting like people are going ape shit over the lack of ‘every promo mix’ when that’s not when anyone has been saying.

  32. Yes she did. But that was once. Doesn't mean she won't do it again, but from that, I personally am not setting myself up to think she will give us anything more than what has been officially or unofficially released, if even that.

  36. Ballads are definitely peak moments. I'd love an acoustic performance of I'll Remember

  37. I don´t think she thinks doing ballads live is a great idea, and I disagree: You´ll see or gone, crazy for you, Live to tell, OH Father, Rain, La vie en rose, drowned world...all peak moments of her live concerts.

  40. You know what, there's an obvious reason why both sides can't agree for more than 30 years, it's because both are right ! "I'm breathless" is a soundtrack and a studio album at the same time ! It's a mix of both ! The answer is written on the artwork ! "Music FROM AND INSPIRED by the film Dick Tracy" ! Case solved !

  41. I’m Breathless: The last word… - It has Madonna’s name on the literal cover - It was recorded in a literal studio - It has 12 killer Madonna tracks performed literally by Madonna - It is a literal studio album from Madonna Ray of Light was inspired by Kabbalah - but that don’t mean it’s a Kabbalah, non-Queen album. Y’all just know that if IB was produced in 2023 then M would have snuck herself into all 12 writing credits by adding a comma into the second verse 😉

  43. It's not blockbuster teen pop the way the "Like A Virgin" and "True Blue" albums were but it's not the most abstract and unmarketable thing ever either. Except for "Love Song" and "Act Of Contrition" (Prince's heavy mark on both), the rest are pretty much pop music and melodies with more mature themes and lyrics, but that's it. I think the reception at the time had more to do with the competition and the rest of the pop acts doing more a current new jack swing pop style than anything else. The "Like A Prayer" album probably sounded a little bit "dated" on arrival in 1989? But that also made it more timeless in the long term. (Personal fun fact: I became a fan in 1998 with the "Ray Of Light" album. When I started diving into her old discography, I remember the first three albums sounded suuuuuper 80s and dated to me in 1999/2000, while the "Like A Prayer" album always sounded great from day one). The holy trinity of singles, "Like A Prayer", "Express Yourself" and "Cherish" are full of hooks and catchy chorus, while I guess there wasn't a reason to think that "Oh Father" wouldn't be a hit, like "Live To Tell" was in 1986, both being moody dark ballads or even "Keep It Together" or "Pray For Spanish Eyes". I agree the "Like A Prayer" song structure is weird for a pop song, it starts and stops a million times, but that chorus is undeniable.

    Prince letter to Madonna, 1987 Regarding Graffiti Bridge. Turns out if Madonna agreed to make the movie she would have sung a new version of Prince's then unreleased and one of his most beautiful ballad, Power Fantastic
