Madonna's personal Jesus Luz has just scored himself a record deal with Warner Music (Madge’s former label)– his first song WE CAME FROM THE LIGHT will come out in May! How did Madonna swing it you ask? Well, she rarely gives permission for any of her iconic back catalogue to be used in adverts, but she relented and gave up classics Vogue and Like A Prayer to get Warner Execs to agree, and the two songs have been licensed for a major advertising campaign in the USA. A source said: “Madonna was determined to give Jesus all the help she can. She holds a lot of sway at Warners, where she had a deal until very recently. But getting him on the books wasn’t completely plain-sailing. There was a little give and take between her and execs, but a compromise was eventually settled upon.”

Jesus has a two-single deal, with the label allowed first refusal on an album as well. Generous Madonna has also been covering all of Jesus’s expenses, including his hefty studio costs. And she's also been calling in some flavours with other old pals, including legendary remixer VICTOR CALDERONE. The dance music heavyweight has had a long association with Madonna, retooling much of her back catalogue, such as Frozen and American Pie. And he’s been busy toying around with Jesus’s tracks. Say what you will about her being a cougar, but she must genuinely have affection for him to do this, don't you think?
