Record label Italians Do It Better celebrated Madonna’s birthday by releasing a covers album that pays tribute to the Queen of Pop.
The 20-track collection, released on Monday, August 16, includes songs from throughout the singer’s career, including Papa Don’t Preach, Into The Groove, Borderline, Hollywood and Hung Up.
Label President Megan Louise asked every artist, “If you could cover your favorite Madonna song… What would it be?” and the album celebrates several of Madonna’s hit eras.
Included is electro-pop duo Club Intl’s take on Lucky Star, produced by Max Kamins – the son of New York DJ Mark Kamins, who helped break Madonna in the early ‘80s.
Max says: “Dance music was the soundtrack of my early childhood. Working on ‘Lucky Star’ reconnected me not only to my father, but also reminded me that a good song is timeless.”
Group member Johnny Jewel has executive produced the LP, which also features Glume’s cover of Material Girl, Desire’s take on Angel and Sally Shapiros rendition of Holiday.
The full album is available digitally now.
