Can we reach the interviewer to ask if she was actually talking about M or her relationship with Dua?

Wasn’t there a rumour (nearly a fact, according to insiders/hackers) about Price remastering all of her stuff with Warner in DVDA format around 2003? Makes me wonder if those sonically improved versions of LAP (7’’ Mix and promo dubs) and True Blue (Remix Edit) are actually part of his work!

Man, that line is poetry. Ingrid Chavez is a poetress...

Ingrid is the main composer of the song, she is (finally and rightly enough) first on the credits issued for the digital EP. Madonna just copied her vocal on the demo and got a writing credit for adding or removing a couple of words: https://ew.com/article/1991/02/01/controversy-over-justify-my-love/

Yep, indeed.

Again, they sent Madonna an instrumental early demo of the track, it was NOT Teardrop as we know it! Madonna was supposed to write a topline over it, but in the meantime the backing track was also sent to Liz, who came up with the lyrics for Teardrop and got picked as vocalist. "In the two against one split, eventually Mushroom lost out even though not before sending the backing track for Teardrop to Madonna who was apparently in love with the track and was disappointed when the rest of Massive Attack informed her that they already had a vocalist for the song." (source)

Yeah, but she received the track when it was just an instrumental demo! The final song came about later, with Elizabeth Fraser.

Not exactly a rumour as the news came from label source, but Scissor Sisters were approached in 2014 for what then became Rebel Heart and they turned her down. Also, during that AskAnythingChat in 2015 she said that Daft Punk were contacted (again!) for RH, but ignored her emails/calls.

There was also a writer's demo for GMAYL, guess it was sung by the same chick who sang the TUTR original version! A snippet from it was shared on SoundCloud a few years ago, but has the full thing been leaked at some point?

She use to suggest how to modulate a synth, how much reverb on vocals to apply and which instrument riffs to choose, BUT she is not a producer in the literal sense.

Wrong: Ingrid recorded Justify My Love using some of the verses from a poem of hers on the backing track. Madonna’s version is identical to her demo. You can search stuff and press about it on Google and on YouTube.

She knows her very well...

You seem to forget that the Moschino jacket M wears for ALL the True Blue photoshoots by Herb Ritts was borrowed from (and never sent back to) Loredana Bertè when she and M casually met at a studio in New York and M asked Loredana for it.

thanks!

We have quite a few talented users in here...I'm sure they can digitally recreate the early breakdown demo by using the album version and the Shep's Classic 12'' Mix (hope so!)
