Earlier this week, Ariel Pink said he would be collaborating with Madonna on her 13th studio album. Incidentally, the “Like A Virgin” singer’s manager released a tweet shortly after slamming Pink and his false claims.
Los Angeles-based recording artist Ariel Pink recently revealed in an interview that Madonna asked him to write songs for her new album. Pink explained that he would assist the popstar in a change of direction for her next record.
“They need something edgy. They need songwriting. She can’t just have her Avicii, her producers or whatever, come up with a new techno jam for her to gyrate to and pretend that she’s 20 years old. They actually need songs. I’m partly responsible for that return-to-values thing,” Pink said.
However, it turns out that Pink’s collaboration with Madonna seems to be news that never actually reached the Material Girl herself. Madonna’s manager, Guy Oseary, caught wind of Pink’s claims and took to Twitter to contest the news that had been taken to heart by devoted fans.
.@madonnarebel @madonna and I have never heard of @arielxpink. The label may have reached out but M has no interest in working with mermaids

In light of the situation, Pink remained comical about the mix-up.
I haven’t heard from Madge in the past 24hrs. Was it something I said? #thankyou #bigmouth #nexttime — Ariel Pink (@arielxpink) October 13, 2014
Madonna has yet to make any official statement herself. Her 13th studio album is still in the works and, as of late, an album title has not been released.
