Show Notes
Madonna’s Songbook, by Giulio Mazzoleni, released this week, is an in-depth look at the evolution of her music, reveals her songwriting development, and exposes her singing influences and the artists she has herself influenced. This is not a kiss and tell book, but a serious examination of the writing and singing processes that Madonna has gone through over the last 40 odd years.
At 712 pages, this is not just a celebration of Madonna’s music but through interviews and research provides an extraordinary account of how Madonna works in the studio. For fans of Madonna this is a must.

Haddaway created one of the most instantly recognisable songs in pop history. Released in 1993, “What Is Love” became an international phenomenon and one of the defining records of the Eurodance era. But Haddaway’s story is far more complicated than a single worldwide hit.
