Jonas did a short movie with Damien Jalet

Somehow just now i'm realizing that A Certain Sacrifice is about that girl Bruna who's raped while using a public payphone and she seeks revenge on her rapist. The more i listen to Live To Tell, the more i wonder if it is not about the rape too.

It should be aknowledged that the first proper lenghty interview she did for her first british cover was by Tennant for Smash Hits. My favourite PSB production for another artist is Eight Wonder's I'm not scared. I wish they'd release the full set of demos they did for their first album with Bobby Orlando.

He didn't say (on FG radio while promoting his previous book) though if it always was intended as a duet or if the lyrics always were about Medellin.

I wish this was world's and anyone's first problem, sadly it's very far from it unless this really is your problem in life then you have no problem in life.

So they are trying to use her for publicity. A judge can fine them for being abusively procedural. Do they know that ? They are a firm, they should.

He totally pushed to get the spot of pre show djaying and she said no.

I hope there will be sex and exposed genitalias especially if my two favourite brazilian pornstars are involved, Samuel Decker & Grande Simoes.

Intervista ? New interview ?

What i meant is Portugal is not just fado, especially Lisbon (i know cuz my mom is from Lisbon and i go there quite often since birth) there's a huge brazilian community and since they've had all these brazilian telenovelas for decades it kind of influenced the language and culture. There's an ancient chinese and indian communities from the colonial era. Now, musically there's this huge electro house scene as well. Of course the biggest influence is the african diaspora from portuguese colonies, cabo verde being one but there's Mozambique too. Lisbon being a port like New York, it is a mix of all that transited through it. She also referenced northern Africa culture with gnawa on Come Alive since Portugal and Spain was under arab control for 200 years (maures) and its influence is still there in the names of cities or regions (basically everything that starts with Al), azulejos and how houses are painted. So it's cohesive to have all these influences because that's where she was and was experiencing, she's not randomly going from one style to another. When she anounced she was writing songs for the album she posted the picture of ceramics representing a colossus of Rhodes that looked uncanny like her, being at the crossroads of various continents and said something about a different point of view. So knowing Lisbon, Madame X is indeed a Lisbon album, a photographic moment of where it was in 2019 at least. The idea for Madame X came after, suggested by Jeremy Scott when she asked him his advice when she wondered how she was going to justify this styles hoping when she should have not stretched herself that much and just had to explain Lisbon. To me it is more interesting than the concept of being many women in one, influenced by the resurgence of feminism brought by the metoo movement, which is another idea she threw in the mix on top other concepts. Too many concepts. And Detroit, like its name suggests, is another port city at the confluence of other countries which use to be a huge commerce exchanging place. So she had that link within her, especially since she was born in Bay City. The original version is much slower (Mirwais spoke about it).

LAV is when she became a superstar BAT is when she became an icon so i'll go for icon.

Is he married ? He would be perfect for her.

I think the X in Madame X refers to Portugal being at the center of the world in the past, it was central to triangular trade and when Colombus went to colonize the world and boats went to asia, south & north america....Madonna's concepts are always confused but this may explain why we go from Portugal to south America to Asia and Africa...and the covers are her mothers : her real mother and her art mothers : frida Kahlo and Martha Graham...another concept within the concept. It's like she can't focus anymore since Rebel Heart, it's like she wants to put too much in one project. It's something i've also witnessed on the Celebration tour. She needs a better editor.
