Madonna Sticky And Sweet Concert' title='Madonna Sticky And Sweet Concert' />Madonna News all about Madonna. Whether shes riding a sexy nun like a human surfboard as one does or performing stripped down versions of old hits, no one entertains or provokes like Madonna. That much is clear from her Rebel Heart Tour concert film and live album combo, out now, which documents her 2. But who knows when fans might next get a chance to see her gyrate in front of massive video screens or outdo herself with elaborate costume changes. The Material Girl says shes pushed arena shows to the limit and is now thinking of developing a smaller, more intimate kind of show. Its time for me to take a different approach and really get back down to the beauty and simplicity of music and lyrics, she tells EW. Below, the 5. 9 year old looks back on the Rebel Heart Tours prescient political messages, dishes on her post show routines, and gives a tight lipped but exciting progress report on new music.

Sticky Sweet Tour was the eighth concert tour by American singer Madonna to promote her eleventh studio album, Hard Candy. It began in August 2008 and was Madonnas. No, Im not surprised at all. I was already witnessing it on the previous tour The winds were changing, and people were becoming more and more fearful and marginalized. I thought we were going backwards on a lot of the progress that weve made as the human race. So cut to my Rebel Heart Tour and then the election and then whats happened in the rest of the world of course Im saying I predicted it. Im sure Im not the only one. A lot of people have been talking about it and trying to call attention to it. But people just want to hear good news, or they want to be distracted. So yes, I did feel like I was warning people. What role do you think concerts should play in this political climate Should they be two hours of escapism Should they feel like rallies or protestsI cant speak for other artists, I can only speak for myself. My role obviously is to entertain, but Im not going to entertain without being provocative. Im not going to entertain without sharing my point of view, without reflecting whats going on in the world. That just wouldnt be me. Theres a clip of you telling your dancers that doing this show was like going to war every night. What made this tour such a battleMost reviews noted how much fun you seemed to be having on stage. When I say war, its just what you have to go through every night to do this show. Its physically a very demanding show. Theres a lot of moving parts going on backstage and underneath the stage. Everyone has to be super organized and vigilant. Theres no room for error. There are 3. 0 seconds to change. Youre passing people under the stage, there are lifts going up and down. Theres a lot of dangerous stuff happening, and you have to fight through all of that and fight your fatigue or whatever personal issues you might be having that evening and get out there. Its showtime No matter whats going on, you have to push through it and be a warrior. Sometimes youre playing in venues where theres no air, where people are smoking. There are always challenges. Couple that with your own personal issues you dont feel well, youre sick, one of your dancers is injured. When you do live shows, you never know what can happen, so you do have to have that warrior going into battle mentality. No matter what, you just keep going. Thats intense. How long does it take you to come down from thatI need about 2. I do vocal cool downs. I drink tea for my throat. And I have to wait 2. Then I come back down to earth. After that, I like to have dinner and socialize in a small way. On tour, its too demanding I cant go out and party or drink or be crazy. Thats for everybody else. Im the only one that doesnt have fun on tour. I dont want to be alone. Sometimes I get treatments I get a massage or shiatsu or acupuncture. I watch films things that get me out of my head and stop worrying. I tend to fixate on mistakes that were made or technical problems that happened. It takes me a couple of hours to unwind. Rebel Heart, your 1. Did it feel like you were baring your soul on stage at times with this tour Im not really conscious of it. Sometimes Im in the mood to share my inner feelings and Im aware that Im doing it and feel like its the right time. And other times I feel like being more mysterious. Ive been playing that balancing act for my entire career. A lot of the songs I write are meant to be ironic and not taken literally, and some are just straight up, Open my veins, this is who I am. My favorite moments from this DVD are when youre performing with just a ukulele or a guitar. Whats it going to take for fans to get a stripped down, small venues only acoustic Madonna tour Well, I would probably use other instruments, not just a guitar. Im definitely thinking about experimenting with other musical genres right now and working with musicians from around the world to create a show that continues to involve music and dance but also poetry and humor, something on the intimate level of Tears of Clown Madonnas experimental theater show, which is included in the Rebel Heart Tour DVD. There would be still some small production with lights, but much simpler and in a much smaller venue. I really like doing that. As you brainstorm a new kind of show, are you also thinking about recording new music and whats next on that front Yes, Im doing it all Can you share anything about what direction you want to go inNo Laughs I dont want to give it away Im traveling the world right now and listening to lots of different music. Im getting inspired by people and Im just soaking things up right now. I feel like Ive pushed the whole big production arena tour to the max and done it the best that I could for such a long time. Its time for me to take a different approach and really get back down to the beauty and simplicity of music and lyrics and intimacy. Was there anything you havent been able to do in an arena show that youve wanted to try One thing I wanted but was always told was too expensive or too crazy or too dangerous was water. I always wanted water features, like rain or something. But I was told, If were outside doing a stadium tour, its too dangerous if theres wind. And what if the wind pushes the water into the audience and everyone gets wetWere going to have insurance problems. And carrying water around with us is too complicated too many trucks, too many airplanes, too expensive. Water was something I always wanted to use in my shows but never did. Beyonc used it in her last show the Formation World Tour, but I think she had a lot of problems with it too. Its good if you dont move, if youre stationary and everything is fixed. And if its indoors, of course. Most of your tours have been recorded or broadcast in some capacity. With your past few records, youve been putting out these live DVDs almost like clockwork. Why is it important for you to create this archive Tours are art. Its like documenting and archiving your artwork.
