Update #5: Diplo confirms “Bitch, I’m Madonna”
In a recent interview with Heloisa Tolipan, Diplo revealed a new title track of one of the seven songs he wrote with Madonna for the upcoming album.
Here’s what he had to say…
I met Madonna because of her kids and then she invited me to a party.
We ended up writing seven songs together.
I do not usually feel pressured to write hits, but when it’s an artist of this cailber, it’s obvious that I want to push the bounderies a little bit further and surpass myself.
One of the songs we wrote is very cool and is called “Bitch, I’m Madonna”.

Update #4:
Martin Kierszenbaum who spent some time with Natalia Kills and Madonna recording new tracks for Madonna’s new album talked about the collaboration during an interview with Larry Flick on SiriusXM.
Here’s a transcription by Madonnarama…
It was a huge honour.
Madonna invited us to come and write with her for her next project.
We just had a great time. We were supposed to be with her in the studio for a couple of days. She kindly invited us to stay a little longer, so we ended up writing a few more things.
We don’t know what’s going to end up on the album.
It was an absolute honour. It was so much fun.Madonna is so very musical. For me, being such a big fan for so long, it was so exciting to hear her vocal in the room, right next to me, sounding exactly like all of those records we all love.
She’s a pleasure to work with, because she’s also so in tune with who she is and what she wants to sing.
It was really great collaborating with her and with Natalia [Kills].It was one of those wonderfully musical sessions that yielded a lot of music.
She’s going to decide what she wants to do with it.
It was just a privilege to be able to contribute.

Update #1: More details on Avicii’s recording sessions
Carl Falk, Swedish songwriter/producer who previously worked with Nicki Minaj and One Direction, spilled some details about working with Madonna and Avicii to Dagens Nyheter, Swedens biggest newspaper:
– Eleven demos were recorded in one week at Henson Recording Studios in Hollywood with accoustic guitars and a piano.
– Six people were selected and divided in two different teams (Carl Falk/Rami Yacoub/Savan Kotecha and Salem Al Fakir/Vincent Pontare/Magnus Lidehäll). Both collaborated with Avicii.
– Madonna came in the studio in the afternoon and stayed as long as needed, sometimes until 7am. She worked closely with both teams writing, changing melodies and was very much in charge of the procces.
– Carl Falk describes her as a warm and giving person, who is fully in charge of her musical vision but also open to ideas from her writing partners.
