Madonna has revealed the first details of her mouth-watering collaboration with Justin Timberlake featured on her forthcoming album.
The star worked with Timberlake for several tracks on 'Hard Candy' and says the pair started the ball rolling by simply discussing personal feelings and problems they had encountered to find their muse.
'I really enjoy writing with Justin’ Madonna said during an interview with Interview Magazine ’We had psychoanalytic sessions whenever we wrote songs first. We'd sit down and we'd start talking about situations. And then we'd start talking about issues or problems or relationships with people. That was the only way, because you know, writing together with somebody is very intimate
"That was fun, because he's open and he's got talent. He's a songwriter. I haven't worked with a lot of songwriters where I'm instantly connected and start riffing and playing with the rhythm of the words. He's as interested in the rhythm of the words as the meaning of the words."
Madonna also revealed more on her Malawian trip in 2006, and that her soon-to-be adopted son David wouldn't have survived without her help. She also revealed how her daughter Lourdes found a new talent looking after children in the orphanages.
“She so came into her own and was so responsible and stayed for eight hours every day and worked tirelessly," adds Madonna. "I thought, why am I babying her so much? She's capable of so much more. We don't let kids do anything. We think, Oh, they're kids - they can't take care of other kids; they can't do this; they can't do that. And after you go to Africa, you drop all that silliness.”
