So, a few days ago I had this spontaneous outbreak with Like A Prayer. I've been listening to the album ever since, going through the mesmerizing photo sessions, even reading the Rolling Stone interview.
Now, incredible news have surfaced the internet. Here's what The Examiner published, 2 days ago:
Today, it was announced that Madonna is going to re-release her 1989 classic album "Like a Prayer" Even though a date hasn't been set, Madonna finally agreed with Warner Brothers to celebrate the album's 25th year anniversary.
The re-released album will have a couple of never before heard tracks that didn't make it to the final album. There will also be a "Like a Prayer" app that contains many things Madonna fans will go crazy for, including a scene from the "Like a Prayer" video where she jumps off a diving board at UCLA and belly flops in a pool. The main camera missed the shot, but one of the low quality video assist cameras got it. The app will also feature footage of Madonna in the studio with producer Patrick Leonard.
It is believed that Warner Brothers is trying to make an agreement with Pepsi in order to re-release the "Like a Prayer" commercial, which was banned because of the controversial video. Madonna is also allegedly preparing to perform the whole "Like a Prayer" album at a couple of concerts next year. Are you excited, Madonna fans?
My eyes couldn't blink. Not only for imagining such a thing, but also for the synchronicity of it all.
However...
... in a time when music labels try to capitalize their back catalogues with special anniversary editions, to the delight of music fans, this is really hard to believe.
We all got used to Warner's laziness and lack of vision, after missing so many landmark dates and so many opportunities to celebrate - with pomp, circumstance and absolute reverence - a discography that defined 3 decades of pop music. (that "Original Album Series" crap?.. Spare me.)
So, if this turns out to be true... oh Dear Lord!!!
