Pick a Producer to Help Madonna Make A New Song for Each of Her Eras

[WokeUpInMedellin 1,744]

I floated a theoretical possibility the other day that Madonna could be recording one new song each for potential reissues of her albums. Each song being in the sonic vein as the original album, but a modern take on it. I just like the idea, and it got me thinking about who she might work with if she were to do this.

For the sake of this fantasy game, let's buy into the idea that she already worked with Max Martin on the new song for Madonna because he described it as reminiscent of her early 80s work. Let's also say that the rumors are true that she's recording a new song with Nile Rodgers, and let's say that's the new song for Like a Virgin.

Now, I'd like to play a game *Jigsaw voice*. Here are the rules:

1. For each album (3-14), name ONE producer who would be your ideal choice to produce a new song for the album with M in our current day of 2023/2024.
2. Only choose each producer once. AKA don't say Max Martin or Nile Rodgers for any others. They've already been assigned by Madonna herself. No repeats within your own personal list. But you can steal other people's ideas lmao.
3. You can select a totally new producer who was uninvolved in the original project (like Max), or you can choose a producer who did work on the original project (like Nile).
4. I suggest picking someone whom you think would be able to honor the sonic style of the album while still offering a fresh new perspective on the sound for the 2020s in order to sell some deluxe box sets hehe

I know it's unlikely she would do this for every album, but let's just play along for the sake of completionism and passing time until tour starts
