Madonna Drafts In Rage Against The Machine, Pearl Jam Producer

Following her foray into pop-R&B on her previous effort 'Hard Candy', Madonna is now ready to embrace rap and rock music on her next album.

The 50-year-old singer has drafted in two very different producers for the record in keeping with unwavering eclecticism.

First up is A-Trak - Alain Macklovitch – who has collaborated with and remixed the likes of Lupe Fiasco, MSTRKRFT, Armand Van Helden and Kanye West.

He recently described his production work as “halfway between rap and electronic and whatever else I listen to.”

Fingers crossed Madge herself doesn't choose to rap like on the hideous 'American Life'.

More intriguingly, Madonna has also working with esteemed Brendan O'Brien who has produced albums for an array of artists including AC/DC, Rage Against The Machine, Pearl Jam, Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen.

The record, which could come out as early as this year, should be an interesting listen, then.

I hope that the new album will be as good as "Hard Candy" which has been voted by Madonna fans as one of the album of the decade. Go on Maddy!

I'm sooo stoked to hear this. I have been waiting for this kind of release from her. I thought American Life was one of her better albums so hopefully we'll get Madonna more raw. Confessions and Hard Candy are brilliant releases but THIS is what I wanted from her!

This sounds like a recipe for disaster. It could even be worse than Hard Candy! Further on down the charts you go, Madonna. Step aside for younger, more talented women like Lady Gaga.

LOL Worse than Hard Candy? You can't be serious. Hard Candy was one of Madonna's better works. It didn't fair too well of course with her gay fan base because it wasn't another Confessions remake. It was a carefully crafted record that takes a good second listen to hear the genius behind it all. This news today is a excellent indication of a epic release for her if she plays her cards right and could potentially send everyone back to the studios in a tailspin. Interesting.

Madonna is a 50 year old woman who wants to be a 20 year old girl again. GROW-UP MADGE ! Nobody wants to see your OLD crotch anymore.
