The last time Stuart Price and Madonna were in the studio together something very special was in the offing, in the form of ‘Confessions on a Dancefloor’. That was about twenty years ago, and Madonna is the first one to acknowledge that you can never do the same thing twice, no matter how fierce.
As the musical director from her most recent ‘Celebration Tour’, Price has been a part of a number of Madonna’s successes, so seeing them together in the studio has put all of her fans into a flutter. I’m still in that camp, and this thrills me.
(Let’s also remember that Stuart Price did the quietly-gorgeous ‘X-Static Process’ from 2003’s ‘American Life‘. He knows his way around a sweet melody.)
