Madonna is going to start the work on the new album

Madonna revealed that she would start recording of her new album in the nearest future. Apart from her previous record Hard Candy, which was hardly influenced by hip-hop, Madonna’s next studio effort will borrow from rap and rock music.

Madonna claimed that upcoming album would be a result of collaboration with two producers. The first one is Alain Macklovitch, also known as A-Trak, who previously worked with Lupe Fiasco, MSTRKRFT, Armand Van Helden and Kanye West.

Another Madonna’s collaborator is Brendan O'Brien, producer of albums by AC/DC, Rage Against The Machine, Pearl Jam, Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen.

According to Madonna, her new record will be «halfway between rap and electronic and whatever else I listen to».

Singer’s previous record hit the stores in April 2008 and was produced by Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, Pharrell Williams and Kanye West.
