London, June 27 (EFE).- Madonna has described recording a song with her eldest daughter, Lourdes ‘Lola’ Leon, for her upcoming album as «a very healing experience,» saying the collaboration allowed them to express long-held feelings openly.
Speaking in the BBC special Madonna & Graham, the singer told host Graham Norton that Leon, who performs under the name Lolahol, has worked hard to establish her own identity rather than be seen as benefiting from her mother’s fame.
“She’s been very reticent to work with me. She doesn’t want to be perceived as my daughter taking advantage of her privilege,» Madonna said, adding that she deeply respects her daughter’s determination to forge her own career.
The singer praised Leon’s talent, describing her as «a great songwriter» with «a much better voice than mine.»
Madonna also revealed that her daughter had struggled for years with feelings of resentment over growing up in the spotlight.
