Superstar singer Madonna has confessed that she really missed the music scene whilst working on her second directorial role for her film ‘W.E’ – adding that she almost cried when she sat down to write a song for the first time.
Madonna’s controversially titled new record ‘MDNA’ hits shelves on March 26th, but there was a four year gap between this album and her last - 2008’s ‘Hard Candy’. With all kinds of business to take care of in those four years, as well as a film to direct, Madonna probably didn’t have time to sit down and write songs for a while – making it all the more special when she finally found the time to settle down and get it done. So special, in fact, it almost reduced her to tears.
“It's amazing to be back in music,” Madge told The Sun. “I like the intimacy of a recording studio and songwriting. I'm using a different part of my brain when I work on music versus when I'm directing a film. There are a billion more people on a film and I don't have that visceral outlet of being able to sing, scream... jump around.
“It's very different. I love doing both but it was nice to have the simplicity of songwriting after three years of writing a script and directing and editing and talking about my film, to sit down and play my guitar and sing a song. I almost cried.”
