'MDNA' Co-Producer William Orbit Claims Best Songs Went To Other Artists

Star producer William Orbit has revealed that the best tracks created for Madonna's latest album 'MDNA' were actually given to other artists like Chris Brown – something which may have helped contribute to the album's low sales.
Madonna is one of the busiest stars in the world and her tough time schedule meant that there was limited time to spend on the new record, and Orbit has claimed that this meant that some of the best-produced tracks for the LP ended up being used by Chris Brown, Kreayshawn, and even himself.
Speaking to fans via Facebook, Orbit said: “We were very pushed for time due to… various pressing commitment that took up the artist's limited time such as perfume ranges and teen fashion contests and other such endeavours. We had songs lined up that were breathtaking, you'll hear some of them on Chris Brown's new album, Kreayshawn's (INCREDIBLE) new album and my own recently completed 'Strange Cargo album'.”
He continued: “Most of them, I believe, are destined to become classics (let me know in a couple of months whether you concur with that). All of us fully committed to putting ourselves through extraordinary efforts to make 'MDNA' the greatest album of the year, but alas the time wasn't there.”
He later apologised to Madonna for the comments, saying: “The 'MDNA' comments. I should not have said them publicly. I see that and I regret that I said online. Not fair to M.”
