MDNA w/ Michael Dango (Madonna, Episode 15)

from The Complete Catalog · host Tristan Ettleman

MDNA, released in 2012, defines Madonna’s approach to production collaboration in the 2010s; that is to say, with a wide array of songwriting “camp” teams. Tristan and Michael Dango, Associate Professor of English at Rice University and author of Madonna’s Erotica (an installment of the 33 ⅓ series), discuss the heights born out of this diffused working style as well as the questionable moments of the album.
