Madonna Begins Recording Bold New Album in London

Madonna’s decision to record in London isn’t just a nostalgic return to one of her favorite cities — it’s a strategic move that places her at the heart of one of the world’s most vibrant music scenes. Industry watchers say the London recording environment — with its fusion of underground electronic, grime, and indie influences — could shape a bold new direction for the album.

Early reports suggest that the Material Girl has already spent time in sessions with British producer SG Lewis, known for his sleek synth-pop sound, and FKA twigs, whose experimental R&B style could bring a haunting, ethereal layer to the album’s sonic palette. There’s also talk of Madonna reuniting with William Orbit, the producer behind her critically acclaimed 1998 album Ray of Light.
