Madonna’s daughter thought it would be “easier” for them to record a song together than discuss the tensions between them.<\/p>\n
\nThe 68-year-old singer teamed up with Lourdes Leon, who is known as Lola, for The Test, a track on her latest album Confessions on a Dance Floor: Part II, and the 29-year-old star explained the musical moment was her idea because she and her mom have always “connected” through art.<\/p>\n
\nSpeaking to Bob the Drag Queen for an interview recorded in June and broadcast on iHeartRadio LIVE on Thursday (24.09.26), Lourdes said: \u201cIt was my idea. I think that between a mother and a daughter in a relationship … there\u2019s a lot of things that are unspoken.<\/p>\n
\n“There\u2019s a lot of love that is unspoken, but also a lot of tension and emotions that are difficult to put into words.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cA way that I thought would be easier for us to speak about these things would be maybe through art, which is always something that my mom and I have connected over.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe Vogue singer admitted it was a “very emotional” writing process but recording the track was “magical”.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: \u201cThere were moments in the writing process when we were in the studio I felt like crying, where I felt like hugging her.”<\/p>\n
\nLourdes admitted: \u201cI cried!\u201d<\/p>\n
\nMadonna continued: \u201cBecause, as she says … we don\u2019t always agree on things, but we love creativity, and art has always connected us. It was a very magical moment, and we both had to be vulnerable.”<\/p>\n
\nUltimately, the collaboration was a “duh” moment for them both.<\/p>\n
\nAsked if she had to “build up the courage” to approach her mum about the song, Lourdes insisted it was an “easy” question and added: \u201cMaybe this is gonna sound stupid, but she\u2019s a very intimidating person, and I have found that I\u2019m not intimidated by many people as a result of her being my mom.”<\/p>\n
\nMadonna agreed: “[It was] kind of a no-brainer.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nMadonna previously admitted working on The Test with Lourdes had been a “healing” moment for them both.<\/p>\n
\nSpeaking to Interview magazine, she said: “It\u2019s hard for me to write a song about nothing. I have to tell a story. So I wrote about a lot of family trauma, and then we started making dance music. …<\/p>\n
\n“So many very important things have happened to me along the way. For instance, the song I wrote with my daughter, Lola. She approached me about writing a song together as a way to heal our relationship. It was a really important moment, and it solidified the idea that now is the time to make this record.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Madonna’s daughter thought it would be “easier” for them to record a song together than discuss the tensions…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":635480,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[663,691,692,635,702,642,650,643,659,682,679,672,653,288,667,705,716,715,321,670,645,697,706,638,687,701,711,712,662,93,690,695,683,710,703,639,654,338,61,636,60,661,649,658,694,269923,664,709,676,665,637,669,708,686,633,634,656,714,668,43,680,655,666,641,671,688,678,696,648,700,652,646,707,674,640,651,713,693,675,647,681,685,684,677,704,689,673,660,657,644,698,699],"class_list":["post-635479","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-nsync","tag-691","tag-albums","tag-alternative","tag-angst","tag-artists","tag-ash","tag-audio","tag-backstreet-boys","tag-beatles","tag-beck","tag-blink-182","tag-blur","tag-books","tag-britney-spears","tag-buy-tickets","tag-cd","tag-cds","tag-celebrities","tag-christina-aguilera","tag-classic","tag-competitions","tag-concerts","tag-dance","tag-david-bowie","tag-e-cards","tag-e-mail","tag-email","tag-eminem","tag-entertainment","tag-fifty","tag-films","tag-foo-fighters","tag-free","tag-gigs","tag-hardcore","tag-hendrix","tag-hip-hop","tag-ie","tag-indie","tag-ireland","tag-korn","tag-lennon","tag-limp-bizkit","tag-live","tag-lourdes-leon-found-it-easier-to-sing-with-madonna-than-discuss-their-tensions-music","tag-madonna","tag-magazine","tag-manics","tag-marilyn-manson","tag-metal","tag-metallica","tag-microsoft-media-player","tag-moby","tag-music-news","tag-music-news-reviews","tag-muzik","tag-my","tag-nelly","tag-news","tag-nirvana","tag-oasis","tag-pearl-jam","tag-pop","tag-prince","tag-prodigy","tag-pulp","tag-quotes","tag-rb","tag-radio","tag-radiohead","tag-rap","tag-real-audio","tag-rem","tag-rock","tag-sex-pistols","tag-shop","tag-singles","tag-smashing-pumpkins","tag-soul","tag-stereophonics","tag-stone-roses","tag-suede","tag-supergrass","tag-tickets","tag-top","tag-travis","tag-u2","tag-underworld","tag-video","tag-webcasts","tag-webchats"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635479","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=635479"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635479\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/635480"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=635479"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=635479"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=635479"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
