After collaborating with Madonna on her highly successful 2008 crossover album Hard Candy, Neptunes producer Pharrell Williams will once again be working with the pop icon in the new year.
According to News.com.au, Skateboard P says he’s 'got some stuff going on with Madonna,' though work on a new Despicable Me film as well as a new Neptunes project are taking up studio time as well. Referring to unique artists like Madonna, Williams explained, 'Every session I have I try to take something from and learn different things - how to make great music, how to make that music greater.'

I really HOPE this is NOT OFFICIAL!!! I adore her ray of light and confessions days, but I want her to make something new, something legendary if possible, I want her to proof why she is the queen - cause she keeps changing style and her music <3
I don't care if they will make a worldwide hit together but I DON'T WANT ANY HIP HOP OR RAP NEAR MADONNA!!!!!!

I persoanlly loved Hard candy. Madonna is known for constantly reinventing the wheel musically speaking. I hope she doesn't drift into the space of just reusing stuff that is already out there. That's not who she is. I personally thought some of her best work came from her early 90's days especially.. Erotica. To me that album was a very underrated record and something she should look at again, but froma different angle.

Please don't collaborate with him!! I think it's not gonna be good.
I want Madonna collaborate with Sia. Her music is awsome!
Listen to her album "We are born" . She sung Madonna's "Oh father".

Not the best news...although Pharrel did some great stuff with Gwen Stefani...some really dynamic songs. I was hoping Madonna would go for a different sound this time. I'm also hoping that she sings with a bit more heart than she did on Hard Candy which sounded dreary and banal in most parts. She is falling into the trap of concentrating on style rather than substance and we can only hope that the girl from Michigan can recapture what made her so appealing in the first place - that "in your face" honesty and unashamed abandon that we love about her!

I'm disappointed. I do NOT want to hear a rapper in her music. I don't mind the sound, but I just DON'T want to hear his voice. UGH!

As long as it's not Kanye West again.

He's not really confirming anything. For all we know he could have submitted work for her film or demos, but that doesn't mean she'll use it.

Hard Candy was an awful album. Madonna's laziest effort. To work with someone that did not work out is a bad idea. New era new start is needed. Go Rock Madonna not talentless R&B and Hip Hop
