Cleo Nasser used samples from several songs to create a never heard before Madonna song!
Music lovers around the world can now enjoy the newly created track with the actual voice of the Queen of Pop… Madonna. Available on Legitmix.com and called “Love Me, Leave Me.”
Cleo Nasser, a Madge superfan who’s been remixing Madonna since the mid 90’s, wanted to try something new: create a song by stitching together Madonna acapellas from the last two decades, digitally remaking the tone, pitch and timing of the words to give a whole new meaning.
I want Madonna fans to identify where each snippet came from. After all, this is a great tribute to her. The central theme is loving relationships, something present in practically all of her discography.
The Nasser-reconstructed Madonna lyrics were then remixed by a group of producers dedicated to remixing the Queen of Pop, part of a collective known as the Madonna Remixers United Alliance and released on RemixRecon Records via Legitmix.com.
Known for her work remixing Madonna’s songs for years, Cleo Nasser devoted almost six times more time to create Love Me, Leave Me, than what usually takes to make a conventional single remix. The work began in February, with the idea of joining different parts of songs to form a new one.
The biggest challenge was to maintain musical harmony and at the same time create lyrics that made sense and were interesting.
Imagine a jigsaw puzzle with pieces that were not originally part of the same set. Each word and phrase had to be re-shaped for the fitting to be perfect.
I started putting some parts together, checking what made sense and would have the compatible chords, from this verses, the bridge and chorus were created.
In this process, there wasn’t a specific goal in the beginning I was trying to see what could be done and the lyrics were built according to what would work in terms of music. In addition, there was the matter of composing verses in English, which I know well, but is not my native language
In addition to the eight versions of the song, an original music video was created for Love Me, Leave Me to further support the release, the concept and overall message of the original new song.

In 2000, Cleo produced some remixes for the songs Justify My Love, One More Chance and Erotica, among others. After a few years hiatus, in 2004 she released a remix for Frozen and another for Ray of Light, which were the beginning of a more professional job.
After Madonna release the album Confessions on a Dancefloor, Cleo decided to remix it, track by track. The DJ made her own versions for each of them, providing a new ‘look’. She determined that the time had come to know other peoples thoughts of her work, which was promptly released on the internet. The return could not have been better. For each song, more and more people become her fans, especially the Brazilian fans of Madonna, but also worldwide. Confessions on a Dancefloor REMIXED by Cleo Nasser was largely responsible for this consecration. For an anonymous DJ, Cleo reached quite success, getting to have her work played at nightclubs around the world and even performed in some radios.
In 2007, Cleo created for the first time a completely new Madonna song. An acappella was created based on a message recorded by the singer to promote the album Bedtime Stories. As a result, the song Often Never was made. The work was so original and fun that Cleo was taken by the excitement and, in the end, five versions were made.
Over several years, Cleo has been remixing Madonna and delighting her fans. In 2009, she served as a DJ, playing live at parties in various locations. Currently, she keeps doing her creations as Madonna launches new albums.
Dens54 has created and recreated remixes that made history among other fans, specifically a digitally modified version of Take a Bow, titled Take A Bow-Vocalista Electronica Remix, considered by many fans and followers Dens one of his most original and well-crafted work….EVER! Dens54 is recognized by many Madonna and music production fans in general as one of the greatest unsigned talents via online music sites.
Using his advanced knowledge of techniques for mixing and music production, Dens goes beyond the obvious in a remix, doing more than simply adding energetic beats for a dance floor. He really gives an entirely different and unprecedented atmosphere/approach to each song, delighting Madonna fans over the years with news, impeccable quality of work and great simplicity.
Remixing videos is more than a hobby for Julio. Many of his friends are currently in several parts of the world, who have become fans of his videos. Earlier, Julio worked with it for fun, but suddenly some people started sharing his work and started making specific requests.
Besides the Queen of Pop, Julio also produces material with Michael Jackson, Kylie Minogue, Christina Aguilera, Cher, Prince and other artists. Over the years, the VJ realized it was possible to go further and include important messages in his creations, building more elaborate scripts. Julio is already responsible for more than 70 editions of videos.
