Songwriter and producer Linda Perry says she would like to work with Madonna, describing a desire to help the pop star “get back to your strength.” In comments covered by multiple outlets, Perry characterizes Madonna’s recent approach as less focused on her vocal impact, arguing that the music relies too heavily on production tools and effects rather than the “power of what her voice can do.” Perry also frames her interest in producing as a corrective measure, saying Madonna has been “weak” to her and suggesting that the singer may be trying to “compete” with contemporary pop acts, specifically mentioning Charli XCX. Another source highlights Perry’s view that Madonna should focus less on Auto-Tune and effects and more on vocal performance. The reported remarks present Perry as offering production support and guidance, while also indicating her perspective on how Madonna’s sound should evolve. Neither outlet provides details on whether Madonna has responded or whether a collaboration is in active discussion.
