The Rocker M?

Madonna currently is – as usual – hard at work on a new album due out sometime later this year.

Reportedly, one of the confirmed people working on her still-unnamed album is Brendan O’Brien, a producer who has worked with Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, Rage Against the Machine, Stone Temple Pilots, AC/DC, and Aerosmith.

So the question is: Is the Queen of Pop going to dive deep into the rock world and make a guitar-based album?

She certainly has been honing her own skills, as anyone who went to one of her concerts this decade knows.

Also reported to be working with Madonna are A-Trak (a Kanye West collaborator) and David Guetta.

Of course, I can’t wait to learn more.

Update: Contrary to rumor, A-Trak is not working with Madonna. Yet.
