YES! IT’S GOING TO HAPPEN - ANOTHER MADONNA ALBUM IS ABOUT TO BE RELEASED
A
nd just when you thought that time really does go by and perhaps she had finally retired …. There’s breaking news!!!! You guessed it!!! – YES - Madonna is working a new album – SCREAM!!!!! It’s true - a few weeks ago she Instagrammed a photo confirming that she is collaborating with Swedish DJ and singer AVICII, however more recently, the prolific Instagrammer was been busy posting a photo of another collaboration with British singer Natalia Kills and Interscope Records executive Martin Kierszenbaum. The caption reads, “Working the midnight shift with Natalia Kills. 2 girls on a couch… don’t it taste like Holy Water? Whilst everyone knows Avicii (of Wake Me Up and, and fame), not many people are familiar with Natalia Kills. After a failed stint as a rapper, the 27-year-old British artist decided to try her hand at pop. Unfortunately, Kills’ debut album, Perfectionist, drew a lot of comparisons to Lady Gaga. (In her defence, Kills did work on Perfectionist with Kierszenbaum and Akon, who also contributed to Mag 22
Gaga’s debut album, The Fame.) Hope the Madonna /Kills/Kierszenbaum collaboration isn’t a Gaga sound alike as well – Scream again!!!!

She has recently released a new song, “We Love Who We Love” about the true tragic story of a young boy named Ryan who was came out to his Christian parents.

Kills showed significant growth on her second album, Trouble where she was able to find her own unique sound. Trouble’s second single, Saturday Night, was one of the best pop songs of last year. Madonna’s manager, Guy Oseary, told Billboard earlier in the year that the star was “eager to get started” another new album, and lately things seem to be progressing quickly. For Madonna diehards (and there are millions), you are not going to be disappointed. Madge is doing it for you again!
HARVEY MILK IS HONOURED
O
n what would have been his 84th birthday, Harvey Milk had a stamp dedicated in his honour at the White House by President Obama and a host of dignitaries. Harvey Milk was a visionary leader who became one of the first openly gay elected officials in the U.S. when he won a seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977. Tragically, his political career was cut short when he and San Francisco Mayor George Moscone were assassinated on November 27, 1978.
