A cover collaboration created exclusively for the first edition of L’OFFICIEL IBIZA by internationally renowned photographer Ricardo Gomes and multimedia artist Portis Wasp.

This project was born to pay a tribute to a contemporary icon who has defined, influenced and informed today’s culture and aesthetics through her music and style. With a firm nod to nostalgia, Madonna has soundtracked the future, thanks to songs that have become legends in their own right. Courageous and nonconformist, provocative and avant-garde, Madonna is the embodiment of the lyric found in one of her songs – ‘Express yourself, don’t repress yourself,’ – a manifesto for a life lived in the spotlight.

Beyonce includes Madonna’s Vogue in “Break my Soul (The Queens Remix)” https://www.madonnarama.com/posts-en/2022/08/06/beyonce-includes-madonnas-vogue-in-break-my-soul-the-queens-remix/ Sat, 06 Aug 2022 06:04:26 +0000 https://www.madonnarama.com/posts-en/?p=37207 Beyonce enlisted Madonna for the new edition of “Break My Soul” after she recently dropped four remixes of the Billboard Hot 100 top 10 smash by will.i.am, Terry Hunter, Honey Dijon and Nita Aviance. For this remix, Beyonce pays homage to iconic Black women in music while taking a page out of Madonna’s playbook by reciting the names in the style of Madge’s spoken-word section from her 1990 three-week Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 smash “Vogue.”

No new Madonna vocals, but a very successful remix/mashup!

Listen here…

Lyrics…

[Intro: Beyoncé, Big Freedia & Beyoncé & Madonna]
Ooh, la, la

I, mother of my house, vow, to keep my f-ing mouth to myself (La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
You make me smile, I vow to love thy hater

Now, I just fell in love

I’m gonna find new drive
Damn, they work me so damn hard
Work by nine

And they work my nerves
That’s why I cannot sleep at night (You know you can do it)

[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé]
I’m lookin’ for motivation (You motivate me)

Hol’ up, oh, baby, baby (Hol’ up)

[Chorus: Beyoncé & Madonna]
You won’t break my soul

[Post-Chorus: Big Freedia]
I’m ’bout to explode, take off this load
Bend it, bust it open, won’t ya make it go
I’m ’bout to explode, take off this load
Bend it, bust it open, won’t ya make it go
Bend it, bust it open, bend it, bust it open, bend it, bend it
Bend it, bust it open, bend it, bust it open, bend it, bend it
Yaka-yaka, yaka-yaka, yaka-yaka, yaka-yaka
Yaka-yaka, yaka-yaka, yaka-yaka, yaka-yaka

[Verse 2: Beyoncé]
I’ma let down my hair ’cause I lost my mind
Bey is back and I’m sleepin’ real good at night
The queens in the front and the Doms in the back
Ain’t takin’ no flicks but the whole clique snapped
There’s a whole lot of people in the house
Tryin’ to smoke with the yak in your mouth
And we back outside
You said you outside, but you ain’t that outside
Worldwide hoodie with the mask outside
In case you forgot how we act outside

Madonna by Steven Klein for V Magazine [Winter 2021 issue] https://www.madonnarama.com/posts-en/2021/10/30/madonna-by-steven-klein-for-v-magazine-winter-2021-issue/ Fri, 29 Oct 2021 23:55:48 +0000 https://www.madonnarama.com/posts-en/?p=37132 Madonna is featured on the cover of V Magazine’s Winter 2021 issue. She is captured by Steven Klein in an homage to the glamor and tragedy of Marilyn Monroe inspired by Bert Stern’s “The Last Sitting,” the photoshoot Marilyn Monroe sat for just before her tragic death.

Steven Klein said…

This photo essay was inspired by a shoot that Marilyn Monroe did with photographer Bert Stern titled “The Last Sitting.” They shot at the Bel Air hotel in 1962, before she passed away. What was supposed to be a three-hour sitting, turned into a three-day whirlwind, working night and day. Drinking, laughing, shooting photos, editing, sleeping, and then taking more photos–a private affair between two artists which rarely happens anymore. We were not interested in recreating the images exactly but more importantly, we wanted to explore the relationship between photographer and subject. Both the friendship and the artistic process, and how art can imitate life and vice versa. When I sent Madonna the photos she was really taken by the incandescent fragility of Marilyn at that moment in her life. We decided to find a hotel suite and try to capture the liaison between a star and the camera, the mystery, and magic of this creative collaboration. We hope we have done justice to the great work of Bert Stern and Marilyn Monroe.

Madonna attends Madame X World Premiere, New York [23 September – Pictures & Videos] https://www.madonnarama.com/posts-en/2021/09/24/madonna-attends-madame-x-world-premiere-new-york-23-september-pictures-videos/ Fri, 24 Sep 2021 15:28:49 +0000 https://www.madonnarama.com/posts-en/?p=37098 Madonna attended the World Premiere of the Madame X tour documentary, presented by Ketel One Vodka at Paradise Club & Theater at The Edition Hotel Times Square in New York.

Madonna told the Guardian…

There’s a lot of moments where I talk to the audience, but we had to cut a lot of that down for time. I love people heckling me or calling out, I love talking to them about what was going on in the world, whether it’s Donald Trump or a natural disaster. I loved having that back-and-forth. We capture it to a certain point but not completely.
