Madonna - Madonna Felt Like 'Caged Animal'

Madonna Felt Like 'Caged Animal'

Madonna wrote her latest album, 'MDNA', because she ''felt like a caged animal.''

Madonna wrote 'MDNA' because she ''felt like a caged animal.''
The 'Give me all Your Luvin' hitmaker was motivated to make her first album in four years because she was upset with fame and felt like she has something important to say.
She told Sirius XM radio: ''I felt like a caged animal. I felt like I had to scream. I had to get some things off my chest.
''There's something simple and primal and direct about playing guitar and singing.
''I still have a lot to say. I still get p****d off about things. And I still believe in love.''
She also praised producer William Orbit, who worked on 'MDNA' and has previously collaborated with Madonna on her 'Music' and 'Ray of Light' albums.
She added: ''Something magical happens when I work with William. He is a tortured soul, and he brings out the tortured soul in me.''
Madonna - who divorced director Guy Ritchie in 2008 - also claimed she's not as ''in control'' of her career as people perceive her to be.
She said: ''I have great leadership qualities, but I don't think I'll ever be as in control as people believe I am or want me to be.
''The journey is to get close to the answer. The education that you have is your journey. You're learning how to be a human being.''

The Making of Madonna’s First Album Cover

Carin Goldberg — the art director behind Madonna’s debut album cover — spoke to the Cut about her first experience with the then-unknown pop star. It’s the first question that anybody asks me, even today: What was it like to work with Madonna? People think that maybe something dramatic or interesting or kind of wild might have happened, based on, you know, Madonna’s persona. But I would say that Madonna was probably the easiest job I ever had — the most cooperation from a recording artist I think I ever had. She was a true professional, even at that young age. It was ’83, and at that point I had my own small design firm. Warner Bros. called and asked me to do her cover as a freelance designer. When I got the call, I rolled my eyes, because it was another [musician with a] one-word name. At that time it had become cliché to have a one-word name, because of Cher, so I remember thinking, God, it’s going to be one of those. So I really went into it with very little expec...

On July 10 1985, The Playboy magazine issue of nude Madonna photos was released !!

Playboy publishes nude photos of Madonna taken before she was famous. The singer did a number of nude photo shoots from 1977-1980, starting when she was an 18-year-old student at the University of Michigan looking for some extra cash and trying to form a band. Now a huge star, Playboy publishes some of the shots taken in 1979 and 1980 in a revealing spread. A year earlier, the magazine turned down nude photos of Miss America winner Vanessa Williams , which their rival Penthouse published. "We think Vanessa genuinely didn't know what she was doing, didn't know her photos might be published," the article states. "Madonna, on the other hand, posed repeatedly for two noted photographers who routinely publish what they shoot." One of the photographers, Lee Friedlander, says of the shoot: "She seemed very confident, a street-wise girl." Madonna has little to say on the matter, but doesn't shy away. "I'm not ashamed,...
