Madonna has collaborated with Internet sensation Saucy Santana for a remix of his 2020 viral smash ‘Material Girl’.
“I’m not fancy, I just love fancy s**t. Make a budget disappear like a magic trick. Make him buy me everything, I don’t have to pick. Only hold a conversation if the bag is thick,” raps Madonna to kick off the track while the pre-chorus features the line “I’m a material girl, so don’t waste this. If you not a material girl, then you basic”.
Listen to ‘Material Gworrllllll’ below:
Madonna requested Santana to sing with her at New York City Pride earlier this year after seeing his TikTok song ‘Material Girl’ go viral.
Talking about it with the Grammy website, Santana said: “It was like my dream to be able to go to the studio with the Material Girl. Being able to be around her, seeing how hard she still works.”
“It was a surprise because I was hand-chosen by Madonna,” Santana continued. “It wasn’t a favour. She specifically asked for Saucy Santana. Madonna is an icon. If you think real fast, ‘who is bigger than Madonna?’ you can’t even name anybody. You will literally have to ponder. Just for me to be in that space was amazing.”
Madonna will release ‘Finally Enough Love’ later this month to commemorate her record-breaking 50 #1 songs on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart.
In other recent collaboration news, Beyoncé and Madonna recently worked together on a remix of the album’s lead single, ‘Break My Soul,’ dubbed ‘The Queens Remix.’
Madonna has also stated that she has no intention of selling her extensive back library. She gave a direct response when asked why she wouldn’t think about doing so, like Justin Timberlake, Sting and the estate of David Bowie have recently done. “Because they’re my songs. Ownership is everything isn’t it?”
