Crescent Bloom 1,085 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I listened to this an hour ago and it's honestly incredible how great this song (and entire album) is. It definitely is one of my favorite albums of all time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlondeQueenOfGGD 25,454 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Ah! This song will always have a special place in my heart. It was 2014, I had just graduated high school, and as I went to the front of my school to wait for my mom to pick me up, this was the song I put on to celebrate.

androiduser 7,438 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 and it's yet another example of a major artist getting writing credit for another writer's song “Candy Perfume Girl” came out of a two-week writing and recording stint between Orbit and Susannah Melvoin, daughter of top L.A. session musician Mike Melvoin, brother to late Smashing Pumpkins touring keyboardist Jonathan Melvoin, twin sister to Prince and the Revolution’s Wendy Melvoin, and former fiancée to Prince. She’s no slouch herself: As member of the Family, a splinter group of the Time, she co-sang the original version of “Nothing Compares 2 U” and co-wrote one of Prince’s sweetest songs, Sign o’ the Times’ “Starfish and Coffee.” According to Melvoin, William Orbit offered her some tracks to write melodies and lyrics to and sing over for what she thought would either become her solo debut or an album by Orbit’s Strange Cargo project, which she – and, it turns out, Madonna – both loved. “I was on the floor [of Orbit’s studio], just putting words together, and came up with ‘Candy Perfume Girl,'” she recalls. “It was a personal track for me. At the time, I was mourning my brother [Jonathan died of a heroin overdose in 1996], and it was the allure of drug addiction. I was pretty jacked up about that record happening, and there were a couple of other songs that I had done with him there.” But Melvoin’s publisher got a call notifying her that Orbit had offered Madonna the tracks they’d worked on: “Candy Perfume Girl” was going on the record, and Madonna wanted a third of the publishing. Melvoin maintains she also wrote the original lyrics to Ray of Light‘s “Swim,” which, she says were “changed, but not significantly,” as well as the original melodies, which she concedes were “manipulated.” Yet in this case Melvoin didn’t get credit or compensation. The songwriter emphasizes she has no beef with Madonna; she feels the superstar understood exactly what “Candy Perfume Girl” was about, and that she made a brilliant record. “But had I gotten proper publishing on Ray of Light,” Melvoin asserts, “I wouldn’t be worried about my financial life.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling 31,488 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 One of my all time fav Madge tracks. I used to seek the album (CD) out just to play this track! I LOVE the 90s trip-hop vibe. Would die if Gaga went that route for an era And then I would listen to the rest of ROL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
