What musical direction would you like for the next album ?

I want Housedonna back with a vengeance!

[Aiwa08 16,190]

I was thinking tonight... Madonna... 40 years... Why not do a Album with a story (not her story) of a woman starting when she was young (disco songs), grow up (pop music, dance music), dark ages (House, experimental) drugs, divorce, etc, etc, until this COVID year, but trying to be cohesive, telling us a good story using the music as the conducting wire of her album. I mean, a story mixing music styles in a clever way as the album progress. 

I'm sorry, I don't know how to explain better in english. And I don't even know if this kind of album can be coherent. 

[Hari Beaux 108]

Pop, dance, more ''free'' and ''open'' sounding vocals. Some more fun. 90's house vibes would be nice, kinda  like gospel house and stuff. Combined with some Dita grindy R&B-ish stuff. I'm kinda tired of the current wavey R&B trend (Like the Weeknd). Forgive me if i use the wrong terms

That's an interesting idea actually.

This this this !!!!!! 90's house full force !!! 

[blondebenji 1,883]

Im all for the 80's synth with her twist on it.  She was kinda on the end of that sound.  Would luv some Eurthymics, Yazoo, early Depeche mode type tracks.  Cud be huge

[Israel 7,620]

opera 

[emanon 2,377]

madonna & enemies (everybody does ... & friends)

[Danton 618]

A new album call " SEXagenarian"

[ShantiAshtangi 257]

I’d love a classic and time less pop album with lots of songs that are somewhere between Papa Don‘t Preach and Express Yourself sonically. 
 

I‘d love to see her doing a rock album though as this is the only genre she hasn’t explored so far on an album and yet she has dipped her foot into it before. And she clearly loves shredding her electric guitars so before she thinks she needs to turn another of her disco songs into a pseudo-rock number why not come up with original material for such occasions?

And I’d love songs with some less try-hard and obvious lyrics. I’ve been listening to True Blue, LAP and Erotica a lot and if we’re honest, she said more with these songs than she did with the obviously political songs such as Killers. 

[Bobo 1,218]

I liked what Madonna was doing before she got signed by Sire Records. That kind of post-punk sound infused with synthwave.

Specifically, I'm talking about tracks like the original version of Burning Up, Get Up, Crimes of Passion and Don't You Know.

I mean, they're still a bit simple with the chords considering they weren't the final versions, but a good bassist, drummer and guitarist could make all the difference. 

But she's not really that kind of artist. I blame Sire for starting all this with pitched up vocals. I forget who mixed and engineered The First Album, but it continued with Like A Virgin.

She's way too stiff with the guitar. I've never seen anyone look more like a cardboard cutout holding a guitar. She's really not a natural with it.

Perhaps something similar to Midnight Sky?

[wtg1987 10,151]

Anything not Mirwais or rent a rapper would be a good start 

good songs with no auto tune but won’t hold my breath 

[PanditaRulez 16,060]

Rockdonna please!!! I love when she rocks on the stage!!! ?????

[survivalartist 6,453]

I want a full album produced by Joe Henry of folk, rock, and downtempo tunes. A guy can dream. 

[thegoldencalf 12,573]

I’d love to get a Madonna album produced by Mark Ronson and The Weekend.

She’s done that already. It’s called American Life ?

[rlittler81 1,601]

Give me an Erotica Vol.2 and I'll be happy!

[musicinferno 3,660]

A ballads/soft pop album similar to Bedtime Stories.

This is why I was hesitant to post. "Sorry" (not sorry) if my opinion goes against your views.

- No Mirwais. 

- No Rappers (if Malik shows up as a feature) 

- No having the grillz on while recording

- Maybe record using live instruments like her earlier albums so we can actually have a live band on tour again.

Weirdly, since downloading  the "Lost Scriptures" disc 1, which i only started listening to this week, has songs i hadn't ever heard before so its like a brand new album for me. I love "Love for Tender", "Love on the Run', "Get Up" etc.etc etc.. They actually sound so refreshingly  new and early
