Confessions II – Les Crédits
Les crédits d’écriture et de production de Confessions II réunissent un mélange de pionniers légendaires de la house et de la musique électronique, de hitmakers contemporains et de membres de la famille profondément liés à Madonna.
Le duo central est bien sûr composé de Madonna elle‑même et de Stuart Price. Madonna et Price sont également les producteurs exécutifs de l’album.
Madonna est créditée comme co‑autrice sur chaque titre, et 6 morceaux sur 16 sont entièrement composés par Madonna & Stuart Price : Good For The Soul, One Step Away, Everything, Love Sensation, Love Without Words et Fragile.
Parce que cet album repose fortement sur des samples dance classiques et sur l’héritage de la house, plusieurs auteurs sont crédités en raison de samples et d’interpolations légales. Les crédits de sampling incluent également deux auteurs inattendus.
Samples et interpolations : légendes de la house & plus encore
- Lil’ Louis (Marvin L. Burns) — crédité car I Feel So Free contient des éléments de son hymne iconique de la house de Chicago, French Kiss (1989).Inner City (Kevin Saunderson, Roy Holman & Shanna Jackson) — crédités sur Bring Your Love, qui contient une interpolation de leur classique de la house de Detroit, Good Life (1988).
- Army of Lovers (O. Hakansson / T. Norell / A. Hansson / A. Bard / P. Thyren) — My Sins Are My Savior contient une interpolation du quatrième single de leur premier album, My Army of Lovers (1990).
- Lou Reed — crédité sur Danceteria car la chanson contient une interpolation de son titre culte Walk on the Wild Side (1972).
- Erik Satie — le compositeur français du XIXᵉ siècle est crédité à titre posthume sur Betrayal pour l’interpolation de sa Gnossienne n°1.
Co‑auteurs contemporains et collaborations
- Andrew Watt et Cirkut (Henry Walter) — les maîtres de la pop à haut profil qui ont été sollicités pour les titres survoltés Danceteria et L.E.S. Girl.
- Tainy (Marco Masis) et Feid (Salomón Villada Hoyos) — les géants du reggaeton qui ont co‑écrit et façonné le son global de Read My Lips.
- Martin Garrix (Martijn Garritsen) et UPSAHL (Taylor Upsahl) — co‑auteurs du titre Bizarre, inspiré par l’EDM, aux côtés des producteurs suédois Osrin (Oskar Rindborg) et Wilhelm Börjesson. Garrix y apparaît également comme artiste interprète.
- Stromae (Paul Van Haver) — co‑auteur du morceau plus sombre, synth‑pop, My Sins Are My Savior, dans lequel il apparaît aussi en tant qu’interprète.
- Lourdes “Lola” Leon — co‑écrit et interprète The Test avec sa mère, Madonna.
- Harloe (Jessica Ashley Karpov) et Lanita Smith — les auteures‑compositrices basées à Los Angeles, sollicitées pour enrichir School de structures vocales et de textures house infusées de gospel.
