The Blessed Madonna and A-Trak Collaborate on New Track “Brand New” Featuring James Vincent McMorrow
The Blessed Madonna is gearing up for the release of her debut album, and fans can get a preview with the new single “Brand New.” This exciting collaboration with legendary DJ A-Trak and Irish musician James Vincent McMorrow showcases a captivating blend of talents.
According to the official announcement, The Blessed Madonna’s debut album titled ‘Godspeed’ will drop on October 18. This expansive collection includes 24 tracks, starting with the intro “God Has Left The Room.” The latest addition to the album, “Brand New,” follows her previous release “Edge of Saturday Night,” a collaboration with the iconic Kylie Minogue. Now, The Blessed Madonna teams up with A-Trak, a name synonymous with the global DJ scene since his rise in the late 2000s. A-Trak is renowned for his massive hit “Barbra Streisand,” created alongside Armand van Helden as part of the Duck Sauce project. Joining them in this venture is the talented James Vincent McMorrow, recognized by millions for his unique sound.
“In a lot of ways, ‘Brand New’ was the trickiest cut on the album,” said The Blessed Madonna.
This track embodies an authentic club vibe, characterized by house beats that establish a unique sound. As Marea (The Blessed Madonna) elaborated, she faced challenges while creating this piece, which led her to collaborate with A-Trak to refine the concept of “Brand New.” The single is now available on major streaming platforms. The Blessed Madonna has shared insights regarding the production, explaining why this was the most complicated track on her upcoming album. She also praised James Vincent McMorrow, stating, “I felt like James’ voice and writing was an opportunity to strike a precarious balance between house and a certain kind of euphoric neo soul that you heard.” This sentiment rings true as James’ vocals perfectly complement the overall track. Notably, The Blessed Madonna debuted “Brand New” at the album leak party held at the esteemed Smartbar Club in Chicago.
