I value that experience a lot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNowadays you don\u2019t do that anymore. Now to have a record deal you think about how many followers you have.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s why in Bring Your Love I say, \u2018Don\u2019t try to distract me with numbers\u2019. For me it started not thinking about the charts, the streaming numbers. Algorithms and artificial intelligence are the opposite of taking risks and to me that is the opposite of making art.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe 67-year-old singer &#8211; who is mother to Lourdes, 29, Rocco, 25, David, 20, Mercy, also 20, and 13-year-old twins Stella and Estere &#8211; &#8211; likes to &#8220;disappear&#8221; from social media and the online world when she is working on new music in order to &#8220;fuel her imagination&#8221; and let inspiration come from real life.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: \u201cLately it\u2019s been hard because of my record and so many things connected to it. But I do like to take breaks\u2026 and disappear. Because that\u2019s how you fuel your imagination.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cYou have to have stillness and you have to have days where you\u2019re just connecting to nature, my children, my horses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nMadonna recently branded Instagram &#8211; on which she has over 20 million followers &#8220;soul-destroying and mesmerising&#8221; and admitted spending too much time on the app makes her depressed.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe told Interview magazine: &#8220;We think if we look at Instagram for two hours, we\u2019ve actually been with somebody. It\u2019s a deeply disturbing activity.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;It\u2019s mesmerising and also soul-destroying.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nAsked if she doomscrolls, she said: &#8220;Occasionally I open Instagram and something pops up that makes me go to the next visual. And then I go, &#8216;What am I doing? I have 5,000 things to do. Get off the phone.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I have a lot of discipline when it comes to social media, simply because I grew up without it. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I didn\u2019t have Instagram until 2018 or something. I grew up without TV. I\u2019m not a person who gravitates toward distraction. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Oh my god, I make lists every night, put Post-its everywhere, and then my day is filled with sometimes boring but also very exciting activities.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And I do see, if I go on Instagram for more than 10 minutes, I get depressed, and I don\u2019t want to go there. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Why am I giving this nonexistent entity power over my soul, my brain, my vision of myself, my vision of the world? Time is precious, and that\u2019s something I\u2019ve known all my life. Time\u2019s precious. What can I get done? What can I do?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/madonna-slams-use-music-1446681.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>29 June 2026 Madonna thinks AI in music is the \u201copposite of making art.\u201d Madonna has slammed AI The Ray of Light singer has slammed the use of artificial intelligence and believes there is too much pressure on musicians to have an online following rather than focusing on their work.
