Madonna hints at new Pharrell collaborations?

Madonna has hinted that she might be working with Pharrell Williams again.

Madge and the Happy singer previously teamed up on the Queen of Pop’s 2008 album Hard Candy. Williams co-produced half of the album alongside Madonna, including the hit single Give It 2 Me – and recently recalled a “scuffle” the pair had while working together.

In recent months, Madonna has used her Instagram to reveal the diverse palette of collaborators she has assembled for her next album – and earlier today (June 10) she tagged Pharrell in a picture showing an assortment of different items dumped on her floor.

“Pharrell’s Mess! Messin with my OCD! #happy” read her accompanying caption.

Also tagged in the photo was Rocco Ritchie, Madonna’s 13-year-old son, and singer-songwriter Natalia Kills, whom Madonna has already revealed she is writing songs with.

Meanwhile, collaborators Madonna has confirmed for her new album include Sky Ferreira/Haim producer Ariel Rechtshaid, Wrecking Ball co-writer MoZella, MIA collaborator Diplo, DJ/producer Avicii, former Lady Gaga collaborator Martin Kierszenbaum, US hit-maker Toby Gad and R&B producer Symbolyc One.

She has also hinted that she might be working with UK dance duo Disclosure in a series of recent Instagram posts.

Back in April, photographer Mert Alas sparked rumours that Madonna’s new album was already finished when he said he was listening to it, but it is clear from a host of Madonna’s recent Instagram posts that she is still working on new material.

Last month (May), she appeared to tease a new single called Unapologetic Bitch, and has used the #unapologeticbitch hashtag repeatedly on Instagram.

Madonna’s last studio album, MDNA, was released in 2012 and reached number one in the US and UK. She scored her 13th and most recent UK chart-topping single with 4 Minutes in 2008.
