Madonna & Justin's Group Therapy

11 March 2008

After working with Justin Timberlake on her forthcoming record, Madonna said she found their sessions therapeutic.

"I really enjoy writing with Justin," Madonna said. "We had psychoanalytic sessions whenever we wrote songs first. That was the only way, because you know, writing together with somebody is very intimate - that was fun because he's open and he's got talent."

"We'd sit down and we'd start talking about situations. And then we'd start talking about issues or problems or relationships with people. We had to find a place to start talking about something we cared about," Madge continued.

"I haven't worked with a lot of songwriters where I'm instantly connected and start riffing and playing with the rhythm of the words. He's as interested in the rhythm of words as the meaning of words."

Madonna's next album is due to be released in the next couple of months.
