Her producer William Orbit has defended Madonna's MDNA, which was her first record for Interscope.

The album debuted at number one in ma! ny count ries, But it also achieved the largest second-week percentage sales drop for a number-one debuting album of the Nielsen SoundScan era in the US - an 88 per cent fall..
In a spirited debate with fans on his Facebook page, Orbit gave two fascinating insights into the albums genesis.
He told the Madonna faithful that the best songs written for the 53-year-old pop icons album went to hip hop bad boy Chris Brown.
"We had songs lined up that were breathtaking, youll hear some of them on Chris Browns new album, Kreayshawns (INCREDIBLE) new album and my own, recently completed Strange Cargo album, Orbit, 55, said.
"Most of them, I believe, destined to become classics (let me know in a couple of months whether you concur with that)."
He admitted that they were strapped for time thanks to Madonna's commitments to her merchandising empire.
We were very pushed for time due to various pressing commitment that took up the artists limited time such as perfume ranges and teen fashion contests and other such endeavors. Which are beyond my own limited understanding of pop star agendas."
