This was one of madonna's first unique genres. Seems like she was inventing her way with every song she did before going mainstream with her first big album.
Dude... THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH FOR POSTING THIS. This is the Madonna that people don't know about... the Madonna that most people SHOULD know about. Keep the music coming!
I still think that even if she continued with the punk rock path she would have gone really well, as a rock guy I love this, hey think about it, a punk rock Madonna, that would have been so freaking cool!
Actually, madonna continued to write all her songs on her own! she just had additional help with melodys! I do wish she would have continued to developed the melodys for her songs on her own so she can have sole writing credit, but instead she enlisted the help of some very good producers. I dont blame her really, you must not forget madonna always wrote her lyrics! ALWAYS! :D thank you for posting these as well. It just makes me love madonna more, she's just so talented!
Il potenziale nella voce c'era già tutto, malgrado che qui fosse ancora assolutamente acerbo... Fortunamente che c'e stato qualcuno che strada facendo rapidamente per noi (e anche per le sue tasche) se ne accorto!
These songs need to be on Spotify 😭💔💔 I like this Madonna so much more then her pop sound. Love her reguardless, but I wish she would of stuck to this sound!
She kinda went back to that sound and voice again later on in the late 90's. If you listen to Beautiful Stranger , she developed a similar style and tone similar to her early pre-pop days.
@madeyes4u - Thanks! I agree. Pre-fame Madonna is my favorite era. It's a shame that songs like "Shine A Light", "Safe Neighborhood" and "Hothouse Flower" were never recorded for a proper Madonna album - not only are they superior to many of her later album tracks, but they were written solely by Madonna herself, which is a rarity in her catalogue. M needs to have more faith in her solo songwriting abilities - she doesn't need outside songwriters to help her.
I think you're exactly right. Emmy was a good band, but it was following in the steps of Blondie and The Pretenders. It might have gone on to great success but in order to be a leader you have to be unique and focus on what works for you.
The guitar in this reminds me a lot of Bowie’s Ashes to Ashes which had been released just a couple months before this recording. These early tracks are such gems imo. I love hearing this side of Madonna.
"Love for Tender" (I Like), "No Time for Love", "Bells Ringing" and "Drowning" are all featured on Madonna's studio demo tape with the band Emmy and the Emmy's in 1980.
Love the "ah ah's" on this track. I feel like now more than ever (sadly) Madonna doesn't get credit for her musical prowess and diversity. Not to take away from these wonderful musicians on this track or anyone she has since collaborated with musically.....she even acknowledges she couldn't have done it without them. What I'm saying is people immediately like to diminish the contributions she makes to her own music because she's a "pop star". A very shortsighted and uninformed opinion that is.
Part of this is Madonna's own doing. Is there ANY interview out there about her songwriting technique or her in the studio? Does she come up with chords? Melodies? Is she a top line writer like Sia where someone gives her the chords then she writes the melody over the top? I have no idea. And with so many Hard Candy and MDNA demos leaking where you find she just changed a few words here and there to get a writing credit doesnt help I know she comes up with the lyrics, she keeps that journal with her so she can jot things down into them All we have is the MTV Kurt Loder special on the Making of Ray of Light I think Madonna is like Kanye.. she has an amazing ear for what works on pop radio.. she is more like a musical conductor of an orchestra and getting the exact sound she wants out of the musicians
@@astrolabe1976there’s actually many. she wrote 5 out of 8 songs on her debut alone. she did the same for 4 or 5 albums of hers and has a strong hand in writing most of her album songs since 1989. many interviews and specials about this
I like the way you walk I like the way you talk Oh come on understand me when I stare I like the way you wear your hair I like it when you dance with me The way you act so free Oh come on and hold me tight I like the way your skin smells at night And when I kiss you I go into the light And every hour of the day turns into night And you may say that I'm a pretender Oh no I like it when your lips touch mine And well that special I forget about time I've got what you want you've got what I need I like the way you walk the street But when I kiss you And every hour of the day turns into night And you may say that I'm a pretender Can't help myself My love is for tender (4x) So come on I said come on, come on Come here, come here Oh baby I said come on, come on Come here, come here now I like the way you walk I like the way you talk Oh come on understand me when I stare I like the way you wear your hair I like it when you dance with me The way you act so free Oh come on and hold me tight I like the way your skin smells at night Aahaaa Ahahaaaah And when I kiss you I go into the light And every hour of the day turns into night And you may say that I'm apretender Can't help myself My love is for tender (4x) So come on I said come on I said come on Come here, come here Oh baby come on I said come on I said come on Come here, come here I like it when your lips touch mine And well that special I foprget about time Ive got what you want you've got what I need I like the way you walk the street Aahaaa Ahahaaaah And when I kiss you I go into the light And every hour of the day turns into night And you may say I'm apretender Can't help myself My love is for tender (4x) Aaahaa ahahaaaaaah
Yeah but as a writer myself I wonder how much of the composing she is actually doing. I mean I'm a lyricist too & I create the melodies but once in the studio since I'm not a musician whomever I'm producing the track with creates the chord progressions because I'm not a musician; neither is Madonna. I'm not taking anything from Madonna because to do that would be doing the same thing to myself. Somebody is creating those chord progressions & Madonna doesn't play so do the math.
That wasn't the point. These are early recordings of someone who would eventually sell millions of records. I LOVE these gems of a career blossoming. I also have a love for punk and new wave so that helps as well.
Without getting overly semantic, this is really more new wave pop than artsy post-punk angst. Doesn't make it a better or worse song, but you definitely hear the (pop) Blondie influence. What it lacks in instantly memorable hooks, it more than makes up for in taste and a solid songcraft that wasn't always present in some of her catchiest pop hits. Thanks for uploading this little gem!
I've loved this song since hearing it years ago. How this didn't end up on one of her early albums is a forever mystery. Heck, this Punk/New Wave gem should have been on Rebel Heart!
thankfully Madonna went into pop because I really honestly don't think songs like this would have helped her sell 250 million records like she has in pop and the other types of music she's done.
I LOVE YOU GentlyBlipMe! A fan since 83. I bought every Madonna bootleg I could find and you are still delivering gems. How did you get your hands on these treasures?
It's not totally true. Everybody, Gambler, Sidewalk Talk and I Love New York (demo version) are actually credited to Madonna alone. She will usually share writing credits with the producer though.
Actually, "Everybody" was written by both Madonna & Stephen Bray, but due to an agreement between the two she took sole writing credit for "Everybody" while he got sole writing credit for "Ain't No Big Deal" in return. The details are fuzzy why they did this, but it probably had something to do with some friction and fall-out between the two due to the fact that she had promised Bray that he would produce her first single, but had to give that job to Mark Kamins, the DJ who got her signed to Sire Records. At the time, "Ain't No Big Deal" was the song they the record company wanted to cut first, so this may have been given to him as a consolation of sorts to even things out. Bray subsequently went out and sold the rights to "Ain't No Big Deal" to a disco act called Barracuda who recorded their own version of it which surfaced before Madonna could get hers out. That, coupled with the fact that the record company wasn't happy with the attempts at Madonna recording "Ain't No Big Deal" (apparently there were three different versions of the song recorded with different people to no success), they decided to just release "Everybody" as a single instead...It was originally intended to be the b-side.
Madonna never wrote anything solo--she doesn't write music.She was given solo credit just like songs on her solo LP due to the fact that Stephen Bray had a seperate publishing deal so he in many cases had to be uncredited. If you look at her debut release Regiie Lucas took credit for writing "Physical Attraction" which is clearly a Madonna written track but for one reason or another she went uncredited--times were different back then.
@GentlyBlipMe Actually, madonna continued to write all her songs on her own! she just had additional help with melodys! I do wish she would have continued to developed the melodys for her songs on her own so she can have sole writing credit, but instead she enlisted the help of some very good producers. I dont blame her really, you must not forget madonna always wrote her lyrics! ALWAYS! :D thank you for posting these as well. It just makes me love madonna more, she's just so talented!
It would've been great if she did get a record deal while still with the band but It was definitely better that she didn't, she would've probably been legendary with this band but probably never became as iconic as she is now. Her only punk rock songs that were made after she became famous were Gambler,Burning Up and Everybody.
Interesting. Have never heard any of this stuff. Strange vocals. Too bad they didn't re-record and produce this stuff early in her career- would have made great b sides and given Pat Benatar a run for her money.
Madonna, you would want to spend this 16 Emmy & the Emmy tracks on Cd, and that this cd via Bol. com can buy hail - René Jansen Your biggest fan forever and, uh, very much strength with your knee injury hopefully, you'll soon be better
They should've called this song "Love The Pretenders," this could easily be one of thier songs... you're not Chrisse Hynde. Although, the song is kinda cool, because I love The Pretenders, and Madonna.
Her music style changed it Evolved so much
This was one of madonna's first unique genres. Seems like she was inventing her way with every song she did before going mainstream with her first big album.
... how did I not know about this? Madonna, I thought we had no secrets between us...
yeah she was always a punk rock artist
she is multitalented.
Dude...
THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH FOR POSTING THIS. This is the Madonna that people don't know about...
the Madonna that most people SHOULD know about. Keep the music coming!
Wow, this is great. Its so raw and pure. And i am a fan since 1983…its like listening to the past live🙏
I'd love for her to do a rock album.
its interesting, i always viewed American Life as her return to Emmy/PreMadonna era. the songs and songwriitng reminded me of this era.
she really should
she looks soooooooooo much better with dark hair. xxxxxxxx
LOVE IT. She is an amazing artist.
I still think that even if she continued with the punk rock path she would have gone really well, as a rock guy I love this, hey think about it, a punk rock Madonna, that would have been so freaking cool!
This was recorded the week before Lennon was shot.
And two weeks before Christina Aguilera was born (this is actually true).
@@bli3859 haha wut
Hahahaha!!!
This song has a little of everything even surf rock.
Never heard of this song I like it. it's a trip how she has changed through out the years. I'm so happy for all her success
She had amazing voice...great!I loe 80's please come back!!!!! :)
The Real MADONNA, awesome...I love this music
Omg. I can't with this. I love her so fckng much 😭
I love it, amazing song 😍👏
This is definitely one of her better early stuff along with Remembering Your Touch and Are You Ready For It.
Actually, madonna continued to write all her songs on her own! she just had additional help with melodys! I do wish she would have continued to developed the melodys for her songs on her own so she can have sole writing credit, but instead she enlisted the help of some very good producers.

Vocal range? For what?!
Madonna can sing all music genres!!
For Jews-in-power who prefer Barbra as #1 in America forever.
thoughts exactly!
Yeah. It's better to have emotion when you sing rather than a high vocal range.
EXACTLY!!!!!
good song for a debut , it reminds me of the 60 s bands
Il potenziale nella voce c'era già tutto, malgrado che qui fosse ancora assolutamente acerbo...
Fortunamente che c'e stato qualcuno che strada facendo rapidamente per noi (e anche per le sue tasche) se ne accorto!
Fantastique!!!
These songs need to be on Spotify 😭💔💔
I like this Madonna so much more then her pop sound. Love her reguardless, but I wish she would of stuck to this sound!

Perfectly sung

@madmixARG You hit the nail on the head! A meld of rock and new wave. Very, very Blondie with shades of Romeo Void.
This is great.
Is it completely wrong that I'm loving her pre-Madonna stuff more than anything on Madonna or Like A Virgin?
Absolutely not wrong at all! It's always our fabolous Madge after all!
I still liked the "Sidewalk Talk" song with (John) Jellybean Benitez.
Nothing wrong with that i love her early stuff
@@kshinokevin i love that song
The guitar in this reminds me a lot of Bowie’s Ashes to Ashes which had been released just a couple months before this recording. These early tracks are such gems imo. I love hearing this side of Madonna.
HI there, you have my brother's name misspelled...its Brian Symmes. I always liked this song.
"Love for Tender" (I Like), "No Time for Love", "Bells Ringing" and "Drowning" are all featured on Madonna's studio demo tape with the band Emmy and the Emmy's in 1980.

I know she comes up with the lyrics, she keeps that journal with her so she can jot things down into them
All we have is the MTV Kurt Loder special on the Making of Ray of Light
I think Madonna is like Kanye.. she has an amazing ear for what works on pop radio.. she is more like a musical conductor of an orchestra and getting the exact sound she wants out of the musicians

One of my favs pre-fame Madonna!
Navigating through punk and New Wave. Gold. Debbie Harry's influence is noticeable here. Love it ❤.
On point !!
me gusta mucho esta cancion devio de poner mas rock en su primer album.como ya habia grabado en estudios en 1979-1980 ¿no sabia? gracias por subirla!!
my fav track of here early !
I like the way you walk
I like the way you talk
Oh come on understand me when I stare
I like the way you wear your hair
I like it when you dance with me
The way you act so free
Oh come on and hold me tight
I like the way your skin smells at night
And when I kiss you I go into the light
And every hour of the day turns into night
And you may say that I'm a pretender
Oh no
I like it when your lips touch mine
And well that special I forget about time
I've got what you want you've got what I need
I like the way you walk the street
But when I kiss you
And every hour of the day turns into night
And you may say that I'm a pretender
Can't help myself
My love is for tender (4x)
So come on
I said come on, come on
Come here, come here
Oh baby
I said come on, come on
Come here, come here now
I like the way you walk
I like the way you talk
Oh come on understand me when I stare
I like the way you wear your hair
I like it when you dance with me
The way you act so free
Oh come on and hold me tight
I like the way your skin smells at night
Aahaaa Ahahaaaah
And when I kiss you I go into the light
And every hour of the day turns into night
And you may say that I'm apretender
Can't help myself
My love is for tender (4x)
So come on
I said come on
I said come on
Come here, come here

Great song, reminds me of an early Debbie Harry.
Génial. Madonna avait déjà un sacré charisme à cette époque-là.
fantastic shit !

It also reminds of Siouxsie and the Banshees
Madonna I come from the Netherlands your biggest fan René Jansen
Holanda no . Países Bajos si
MY LOVE IS FOPR TENDERRRRRRRRR; MY LOVE IS FOR TENDERRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!
A little bit Bondie (Debbie Harry) impact ! Not so bad.
I've loved this song since hearing it years ago. How this didn't end up on one of her early albums is a forever mystery. Heck, this Punk/New Wave gem should have been on Rebel Heart!
Either way.....better than I could have done!!
very inspred by Debbie Harry.

A ver y love song ,is romantic
Guys! Does My love is FOR TENDER mean FOR FREE?
No I think it means it's gonna cost ya...
Is this Madonna or Chrissy Hynde with a bad cold??
With all honesty, no she doesn't.
She sounds like a mixture of Chrissie Hynde and Madonna.
Interesting. Have never heard any of this stuff. Strange vocals. Too bad they didn't re-record and produce this stuff early in her career- would have made great b sides and given Pat Benatar a run for her money.

hello daddy hello mom I'm your chit chat chit chat chit chat chit chat cherry bomb
yeah they did that last and says oh shit that totally sounds like my brother
They should've called this song "Love The Pretenders," this could easily be one of thier songs... you're not Chrisse Hynde. Although, the song is kinda cool, because I love The Pretenders, and Madonna.
She sounds like the lesbian lovechild of stevie nicks and blondie- in a good way. obviously
Madonna writes most of her own music. But I agree she should clean all these songs up & release them.
dam drugs are not good for all music!
the voice is good but out of key, out of tune , I like the song
sheri withdog Hmm yeah thats true though
no it’s not.it’s called real singing without autotune
Her voice is not out of tune. You don’t have good ears.
Gosto demais da Madonna mas, francamente... isso é horrível!
Why all of her music is only about love, flirting and pairing? I feel bored by it
it's not
Love and flirt more then
All of it? Dude, she has songs about AIDS, loss, and anger. Look further.
voice madonna ?????
yeah
You can't hear it?🦻
No, es Gilda la que canta, salame…
