William Orbit’s thoughts on Ray of Light and MDNA

In a new interview with   Hunger TV , William Orbit explained how it was to record “Ray of Light” with Madonna and how he would have produced MDNA to make it better… Hunger TV:  People got so excited when they knew you were involved in Madonna’s MDNA. How Different was it to collaborate with her on these two different projects? William Orbit:  I knew people were excited, they ask me about a new “Ray Of Light” every minute of the day. Think of it this way: it came about very spontaneously. We were in this studio in a rather unfashionable part of LA where nobody came. I do remember M telling to a guy from the record company “This is art. This is how we are doing it.” It was a very pure experience; it was all about making that record and nothing else. She’s an amazing person, producer and it was a true collaboration. It’s important to get this across; I don’t like it when people assume that I was the clever one doing the whole job. I’d feel mortified if I was her...

On this Day: June 21, 2004 Madonna's third children's book, "Yakov and the Seven Thieves" hits the stores.

  This book was inspired by the Baal Shem Tov, a great teacher who lived in the Ukraine in the 18th century.   It is a story about how all of us have the ability to unlock the gates of heaven--no matter how unworthy we think we are. For when we go against out selfish natures, we make miracles happen, in our lives and in the lives of others.  We must never forget that hidden behind a large amount of darkness is a large amount of light.  --Madonna

Birthday Wishes to Isabella Rossellini

Isabella Rossellini on Madonna’s Sex Book Lastly, I’d be a failure as a gay man if I didn’t ask you about Madonna’s Sex book. It’s been almost 20 years since you were shot for it — looking back, what do you think of the book now? I was working a lot with the photographer Steven Meisel. I didn’t know Madonna and Madonna had approached Steven to do a book about sex. And of course, sex is very interesting. Even me, when I’m making my own little films, I address how animals have sex. It’s very interesting, sex. And Steven was tempted — instead of doing a book about all his photos he did for Vogue and all the past photos as a résumé of his life — to do something challenging. So I thought he had a point. Sex is interesting. But I don’t think the book worked, even though the photos were extraordinary and some of them quite memorable. I think there was a little bit of a moralistic sort of “I’ll teach you how to be free!” and that bothered the hell out of me. Because I think if you want t...
