Madonna Raves About Maluma On Apple Music’s Beats 1
Madonna launched the Madame X era earlier this morning (April 17) by debuting “Medellín” on Apple Music’s Beats 1. The Queen of Pop even gave a little interview to explain how the reggaeton-infused collaboration with Maluma came together. “I met him backstage at the [MTV] Video Music Awards and he was very sweet,” she told Zane Lowe. “The next day he sent me flowers and said what a great honor it was to meet me.” The Colombian superstar also expressed interest in collaborating with the 60-year-old.
“So Mirwais and I start listening to his music more closely and liked all the reggaeton that he does,” Madonna continued. “[We wanted to do] something slightly different but still has a connection to the music he makes and is still connected to Madame X. We started working on music and he started commenting and adding things and eventually we got into a studio together.” It turns out, they got along famously. “He’s so great to work with. One of the most easygoing, open, warm, generous, doesn’t leave the studio until the work is done,” she raves. “Has great work ethic. I adore him. Nothing but great things to say about him.”
