Martin Solveig has been announced as the first producer of Madonna’s currently untitled next album, following the recent tweet from Guy Oseary that she has already begun working on it. Madonna will surely be counting on electronic music DJ and producer Martin’s well reputed ear for commercially viable dance music to help make her new album a big success.

Madonna’s last Album, Gaga, was chastised by music critics earlier this year because they felt her smash ‘Born This Way’ sounded somewhat similar to Madonna’s 1989 hit ‘Express Yourself’. Gaga’s aesthetic is also often compared to Madonna’s.

It is inevitable that her next Album will be scrutinized for similarities to Gaga, so Madonna will know that she needs some fresh and original stuff, and doubtless she recruited Solveig, among others yet to be named, to help her produce it.

She will also have hired Solveig to revert back to a formula that has worked well for her on past projects. She was the primary songwriter on Music, Ray of Light and Confessions on a Dance Floor, and on all three she worked closely with the relatively little known European DJs/producers Mirwais Ahmadzai, William Orbit and Stuart Price respectively.
