Madonna, pop's ultimate diva, is back in the studio working on her 12th album, according to a tweet by her manager Guy Oseary. Details about her return are minimal, but it's been rumoured that A-Trak and David Guetta will be featured on the record. With these collaborations, it could mean that it would have more of an electronic/house vibe, which is a relief, because her stint in urban pop with 2008's Hard Candy was a little awkward.
The collaborative record by hip hop giants Jay-Z and Kanye West has been hyped about for some time, but details surrounding the album have been kept hush-hush. However there is now some speculation that Watch the Throne will be released on August 2 according to the receipts of pre-orders made by fans this week. Even the track-listing is a mystery. It's been said that the album will feature songs produced by Swizz Beatz, No ID and Lex Luger and guest vocals by Bruno Mars and Beyoncé. I'm enjoying the regal-looking cover art. Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci was hired to design it, probably Kanye's doing. I'm a little anxious to hear the sound of this record, but if “H.A.M” is any indication, my excitement will be short-lived.
