CHICKENS COMING HOME TO ROOST: Madonna Slams Modern Hitmaking in Instagram Post. “Can you help me now please!!” she wrote. “Remember when i made records with other artists from beginning to end and I was allowed to be a visionary and not have to go to song writing camps where No one can sit still for more than 15 minutes.” She then added several flame emojis and the words “coming soon.”
This is ironic, given that Madonna’s video-first approach to hit-making drove one of the last nails in the coffin of quality popular songwriting.
