Concept for 4MTSTW video

"From an overlooker at RSA films they sketched some concepts for black leather outfit for M in the story about a couple of somewhat spies, I imagine M, JT and Timbaland. Lots of arrows in the sketches too, which indicates on action and movements. And that big supposed dance mash tease between Justin and M.

Madge + leather = perfection. LOL

Damn, so many news about Her Madgesty. I love this excitement, this feeling, before an album comes out.

[Vinylfantasy]

I love the anticipation too! Gosh it brings me back to COADF, seems like only yesterday.

I've been listening to 4 Minutes To Save The World all day and the chorus is so infectious, I still get chills. The radio is going to eat this up!

[kotora]

Madonna and 50 cents? oh I hope that song has PV and see Madonna's hands touch 50 cents's chest.

[kinomaniac]

^ I seriously hope that doesn't happen. I'm not that big of a fan of 50 cent. I trust M's instincts though.

Lush, lashed life

"I've tried tons of different looks on her from color eye shadows, eye pencils, and color mascara like deep aubergine. She's the ideal client to work with as she's always open to experimenting."
"In fact, during her last album, I handmade a pair of diamond lashes in her bathroom while getting her ready. She wore them out, and they were a huge success internationally! They were such a demand that Shu Uemura sold them to the public and at $10,000 a pair."

Make-up artist and Shu Uemura artistic director Gina Brooke, interviewed by the San Francisco Bay Guardian, talks about the sort of makeup strategies she has tried with Madonna and wether does she have any specific special tips or tricks or unique issues or needs.

Not sure how credible these forum members are, just warning you I'm not holding my breath and neither should you. Wanted to throw this rumor out there just in case.

Tic... Toc...

M-Tribe friend and Community member Mike from Madonna Download reports today that radio stations in the US received the heads up for Madonna's new single.

Madonna is reportedly expected to be in Los Angeles next week, and it is understood that at the same time her single will hit the radio, although nothing has been confirmed or officially announced yet.
M-Tribe reader Gary also reports that radio dee-jays have been hyping the new release saying that the new single, featuring Timbaland and Justin Timberlake is expected to hit the waves "any day now".

Madonna going Tecktonik?



In a report about the Tecktonic craze among French teenagers aired by French channel TF1 tonight they reported that Madonna contacted one of the most famous French Tecktonic dancers and choreographers named Trixi.

Tecktonik is a kind of dance based on a mix of hip hop, glowsticking and techno styles that was created in Paris in a nightclub called Metropolis in year 2000 but gained a wider popularity and media exposure recently, thanks to word-of-mouth and the internet.
"Tecktonik" is also a registered trademark and this is the first time a kind of dance receives this sort of "brand protection" that also allows the people behinf it to sell products and merchandise.

Although there was only a brief mention of Madonna in the TV report, the first thing that easily comes to mind is thinking that she may be interested in the new style for one of her upcoming projects or videos.

This is awesome, but judging by the videos I've seen on Tecktonic it's basically the same **** us ravers have been doing all along.

2009? I hate to wait, I'm spoiled.

2008 is going to go by so fast though. I have this feeling. A new album, 50 year anniversary, remix materials... we know they'll start to pop up when the album leaks.

Awesome!

Listening party stuff:

Doing the candy...with Madonna!

It's not every day that Warner Bros. Records gets a visit from the Material Girl herself. Well we didn't exactly roll out a red carpet - but we did build a plastic brick path inspired by the Candyland game that Miss M. happily strolled down on the way to our conference room which was completely transformed into a palatial pink and white candy emporium. All we knew was there was a song on her upcoming CD that mentions a candy shop - henceforth our theme. And of course, Madonna's love for candy - especially hot tamales is pretty well known. This was strictly for the Warner Bros. Records employees - no press, no photographers, no cell phones. Madonna, always the perfect hostess screamed out different song choices to our resident dj by numbers. "Jesse, play no. 5 next" and so on. We were treated to l0 songs with comments by the artist on some of her collaborators Pharrell, Justin, Timbaland, an appearance by Kanye West, etc.
Every song was a knock out with two apparant favorites being Four Minutes to Save The World and Candy Shop or Candy Store (not decided)...Madonna mentioned she was a little nervous as it was the first official playing of the music. Thankfully it was a room filled with Madonna fans who cheered after every song was played. Champagne and soda and lots of candy later, we all agreed that we felt blessed that we worked at Warner Bros. Records.

Subculture Lady and Urbanbeat Queen both sound better than the bland Give It To Me.

The party looks fun in the photos!

[ImpactBreaker]

I wonder how Candies for the Queen must taste like LOL I want some of those pink ones near her bed

[Vinylfantasy]

They look like Hot Tamales, how appropriate!

Who else loves Oh Father? I have been listening to that song a bunch tonight and I thought I'd share some song appreciation.
