    Living for Love 

    + Its a song, it was the lead single for "Rebel Heart". She is a hot matador.

    - Too "Like A Prayer" meets Eurodance for me. Expected more from a Diplo and MNEK collaboration.

    William Orbit, Madonna, and The Mama's & The Papa's

    I am convinced William Orbit and M were inspired by the Mama's & Papa's hits "Straight Shooter" and "The In-Crowd" for these tracks, there is a "demo" of ROL with the guitar riff from Straight Shooter and the drum track on Stranger is so familiar. Of course, In-Crowd is a cover of a jazz tune by Ramsey Lewis. I can't recall an article or interview where they speak on this... does anyone else hear the similarities?

    Madonna the next reality TV star? August 24 2015 at 12:04pm

    Posted ImageJordan Strauss/Invision/APMadonna arrives at the 57th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on February 8, 2015.

    Madonna is in talks to make a reality TV show.

    The 57-year-old star has been offered her own programme by production company Bunim Murray, who make 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians', and is keen to sign on after seeing how her pals Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West have made reality TV "cool".

    An insider revealed: "Nobody would ever have expected a star as huge as Madonna to ever star in a reality show but it just shows how much times are changing that she's even humouring talks.

    "She is friends with Kim Kardashian through Kanye West and Madonna has noticed how Kim and her family have made reality TV very cool and current - it's not just for Z-listers any more."

    The 'Living For Love' singer - who released her 13th studio album 'Rebel Heart' in March - would be expected to involve her kids

    Lourdes, 18, Rocco, 15, and David and Mercy, both nine, in the show, as well as her potential love interests.

    The source told The Sun newspaper: "She's not made any decision, she loves giving fans an insight into her life, especially when touring.

    "Bunim Murray have proven with Caitlyn Jenner's show I Am Cait that they can tackle sensitive topics and not just make trash TV."

    However, Madonna - who will embark on her 'Rebel Heart' world tour next month - previously said she doesn't actually watch TV.

    She said: "I don't watch television. Everyone's a bit contest obsessed. I don't actually like the idea of being a judge. It's so, I

    don't know, subjective - what's good and what isn't.

    "I think perhaps we're too obsessed with it.

    You won’t have heard of him, but Bentley Jones is a huge music star – who works from his mum’s garage in Solihull.

    He has worked with the likes of Madonna, will.i.am, Sia and Ariana Grande.

    Lady Gaga follows him on Twitter and he is treated like a rock star in Japan.

    He’s a different kind of musician, one who remixes hits and puts his own stamp on them from his studio.

    Now 30, he’s been doing that since he dropped out of college at 17. He has since built up a global business.

    Having released his own music in Japan and America, Bentley is now stepping in to the spotlight in his own country. He’s releasing his first album, called The Prequel, and is planning a UK tour.

    Bentley explains: “I started experimenting with music when I was a teenager, just playing around in my bedroom with keyboards and synthesisers. I taught myself from scratch to do geeky stuff like editing wave forms.

    “They tried to get me to take music GCSE at Light Hall School but that wasn’t for me.

    “I’m doing the same things now but on a professional scale, although I still feel like that teenager making sounds in my room. I try not to think too much about Madonna and Lady Gaga listening to my music.

    “I was remixing music and sending them out to people, until a promotional company in London called back and offered me a contract to produce remixes for them.

    “I was just 17. I dropped out of the media course I was studying at Stratford-upon-Avon College but I didn’t have to move to London, I could just carry on at home.

    “My grandfather died when I was 19 and I used his inheritance to convert the garage at my mum’s house and turn it into a studio. Now I work all over the place but I still come back.

    “I do play some instruments, but not well – to the point where I can get the sound I want from them.

    “I will start off playing on the keyboard and find a chord I like, then add a beat and a melody. I like to think of a piece as a lump of clay which I will keep moulding and building on.â€

    Most of Bentley’s work involves remixing the hits of stars like Madonna, Sia and Lady Gaga – he’s remixed Living For Love, Chandelier and Judas. “I am asked to remix hit singles to promote the artists, usually in nightclubs,†says Bentley. “My tracks will be sent out to radio and club DJs.

    “I will listen to see what I can take from it, and anything that jumps out at me I use as a starting point for turning the song into what I want.

    “I can be speeding it up and changing the beat or adding a hook. It’s not a case of improving on the original, just taking it to a different place.

    "Fans aren’t too happy if you change too much of a song they love. My remixes are not necessarily commercially released but they can be if there’s a demand from the clubs.

    “I don’t usually get to meet the artists, although I have hung out in Tokyo with Pharrell Williams. He’s very short, a good foot and a half of him is those hats he wears!

    “One of my Twitter followers mentioned Lady Gaga was following me – I hadn’t even noticed, but that is cool.

    “It does feel slightly weird to promote my music in the UK. I feel like I’m in a bubble when I’m somewhere like Japan, where they treat me like a rock star. I don’t get too overwhelmed because it seems so unreal and far away.

    "But now I’m doing it here on my doorstep, which is exciting but a little bit strange.â€

    You Must Love Me+ FiNALLY a single for Evita, a new ballad on the heels of Something To Remember. It felt like forever back in the day. I didnt know anything about Evita, the single with Rainbow High was a great introduction.- The weird box the single came in and how the radio edit was not on the album, I get it but still it should be there.Next: Inside Out
