Madonna
comes with
some
serious
perks. Not
only do you
gain
international
fame overnight, if you're Jesus
Luz, you get a record deal.
Madge's 23 year-old boy toy
Jesus just got signed under
Madonna's label, Warner
Brothers, and will be releasing
his new album soon.
Jesus' first single, entitled 'We
Came From Light', will be
released in the summer-- the
same time a handful of
Madonna's classic songs,
including 'Vogue' and 'Like A
Prayer', will be licensed for a
major advertising campaign in
the US.
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."
Not only did she help him get a
record deal, she got legendary
house music producer Victor
Calderone to agree to work with
him.
The source added to The Sun
newspaper: "Madonna really
wants Jesus' career to take off.
She's been going through her
Filofax and putting him in
contact with as many of her
influential pals as she can.
"She's worked with Victor for a
very long time and he
understands just what she likes.
Having him work on Jesus'
tracks will give them a cool
cachet which is essential to
building a clubland buzz."
Madonna's a very smart
businesswoman, she wouldn't
be helping him unless she was
going to gain monetarily from
the project as well. What do you
think of Jesus as a pop star?
Think he has what it takes?
