MLVC welcomes back to the podcast songwriter & music producer Stephen Bray for a solo interview!

We discuss the music he did with Madonna, do a deep dive on all of the unreleased songs that he's collaborated on with her, and also ask about his work on the award-winning Color Purple Broadway musical (and forthcoming major motion picture adaption).
