Linda Perry praised Madonna as one of the greatest, crediting her with teaching women to be strong and be themselves and with constantly changing her sound. Perry described Madonna as an explorer and a leader whose records sounded different. Perry then said Madonna has recently become a follower, trying to compete with current pop trends and with artists like Charli XCX. Perry characterized Madonna’s recent approach as weak and not powerful. Despite the criticism, Perry said she would love to make an album with Madonna and believes Madonna could help her get back to her strength. The exchange follows earlier comments and ongoing public back-and-forth about music direction.
"“She's one of the greatest. She taught women to be strong and be yourself, and I love how she just constantly was changing her sound,” Perry told Consequence of Sound. “Every record sounded different. I mean, she is an explorer. She is a leader.”"
"“But of late, I feel she is a follower,” Perry said. “She's following the trends. She's trying to compete with Charli XCX, and this and that, you know, like, everything about her seems weak to me, and not powerful.”"
"Turns out Perry wants to work with Madonna because she believes the “Vogue” singer has become a “follower” and thinks she's the one that can help the her “get back to your strength.”"
