Upptrappningen till Ariel Pinks kommande album pom pom har tagit en del intressanta vändningar, inte minst när han ironiskt hintade om att han hade blivit ombedd att skriva låtar åt Madonna:
– They need something edgy. They need songwriting. She can’t just have her Avicii, her producers or whatever, come up with a new techno jam for her to gyrate to and pretend that she’s 20 years old. They actually need songs. I’m partly responsible for that return-to-values thing. I guess it’s called ”throwback”, but the first record was so good because of the songs. It’s been a downward slide since… ”Ray of Light” is not cool. And all the other stuff she’s done after that, it’s not like it matters. It really shows a drain of values. People need more substance in their mac-and-cheese. People need more sugar or something.
– Madonna and I have never heard of Pink. M has no interest in working with mermaids, twittrade sedan Madonnas manager Guy Oseary. Till sist skrev Ariel:
– I haven’t heard from Madge in the past 24hrs. Was it something I said? #thankyou #bigmouth #nexttime
Nu har videoklipp från när han framför versioner av de två nya låtarna Jell-o och Picture Me Gone tillsammans med femteklassarna i P.S. 22 dykt upp på YouTube. Du kan se klippen här nedan:
