New Madonna cd cover

[MacMan]

Here's the song analysis... (Couldn't get it in with my post for some reason)


HUNG UP: Featuring a sample from Abba’s Gimme Gimme Gimme this is a massive floor filler and a clear No1 single. While there’s no way on earth a straight bloke could be seen dead dancing to this camp tune it will go down a storm when she performs it at London’s G.A.Y. nightclub next month. 9

GET TOGETHER: Upbeat track which borrows the bass line from the Stardust dance classic Music Sounds Better With You. She sings, “Do you believe we can change the future?” 8

SORRY: One of the best tracks on the album and likely to be the second single. You’ll recognize the infectious bass line on the chorus as it’s a sample from The Jacksons’ 1981 hit Can You Feel It. The opening features Madonna saying “sorry” in lots of different languages. 10

FUTURE LOVERS: Madonna wrote this with Mirwais Ahmadzai, who produced her No1 album, Music. It’s heavy on synths and you can spot a sample from the Donna Summer/Moroder club anthem I Feel Love. 9

I LOVE NEW YORK: Banging dance tune with lyrics featuring a pop at George Bush and his home state. She sings: “If you don’t like my attitude then you can just f off. Just go to Texas, that’s where they play golf.” The chorus is: “Los Angeles is for those who sleep, Paris and London baby you can keep, No other city will make me dance like New York” 10

LET IT WILL BE: Oddly titled track uses the string opening from Papa Don’t Preach played on a synth. The track is reminiscent of Ray Of Light. An Eighties-sounding string of chords takes the track into the following number. 10

FORBIDDEN LOVE: This is Kraftwerk inspired and features computer generated, vocoder style vocals. It sounds very Eighties and is slightly slower than the rest of the album (there are no ballads at all on the CD). 8

JUMP: Features classic Madonna vocals and is reminiscent of Into The Groove. She sings: “The only thing you can depend on is your family.” 9

HOW HIGH: All about Madonna analyzing and evaluating her fame and success. She sings: “It’s funny I spent my whole life wanting to be talked about, Was it all worth it? I guess I deserve it, How high are the stakes?” 10

ISAAC: By far my favorite track — a stunning combination of wild rhythms, a hypnotic jewish chant and loads of strings and guitars. The ending is borrowed from Die Another Day. I defy anyone to not be blown away by this track. 11

PUSH: A love song for Madonna’s husband Guy. It’s got a funky La Isla Bonita vibe about it and is ear-marked as a possible single. She sings about Guy: “I owe it all to you, It’s because you push me, Keep on pushing like nobody.” 10

LIKE IT OR NOT: A bit like her hit Fever, this song is once again Madonna analyzing herself and saying, take me as I am. She sings: “You can call me a sinner or a saint, This is who I am, You can like it or not, You can love me or leave me, But I’m never going to stop.” This track completes the album beautifully with a classical guitar ending. Quite clever to put out a wholly electronic album – and close it with an acoustic guitar. 10

10 out of 10? I think it's a mistake....should be 0/10

I listened to the whole thing on mtv.com last Friday. I will not be buying it...but if she really tours next summer, I am SO there....

There are a few good tracks - I like Hung Up, How High and a couple others. re: Isaac - Madonna, Sting called, he wants his Desert Rose back.

I saw that and wondered what the extra goodies were. Even though I'm a whore for Madge, I don't think I'll be buying.

If it came with that documentary that just aired on MTV, I'd get it. But it doesn't, so I wont.

I just got the CD......it's very spotty, and I'm not all the way through. "I Love New York" is horrid. "Sorry," however, is a great tune.

[diamondsnake]

I love Sorry. My favorite line of the entire album is "Don't explain yourself cause talk is cheap. There's more important things than hearing you speak". I'd really like to say that to quite a few people, actually!

I love Get Together, the second track. It is my favorite Madonna song now. It is just so upbeat and catchy and fun. It makes me want to dance. I just love this song more then words can describe!

I really like the New York song. But the lyrics are bad. But oh well!

I don't like Let it will Be very much. Too repetative.

I love Hung Up of course, but I like the radio edit better. The album version just drags on and just when you think it is over it keeps going!

[diamondsnake]

I officially love Future Lovers now. Just thought everyone should know.

[diamondsnake]

The worst lyric in the whole CD has to be "If you don't like my attitude you can F off, go to Texas, isn't that where they golf". What the heck? It makes no sense.

[GypsySorcerer]

Upon a few more listens, I give it a B-. The opening of Hung Up, Get Together, and Sorry is killer. Later, we get Jump, How High, and Isaac, and they're all good. The rest I could do without.

I <3 Sorry and Isaac. Sorry is rumored to be the next single. Here's hoping! She's been singing I Love New York at appearances, though. WHYYYYYYYYYYY?

Ugh. That "song" should never be performed anywhere. I would love "Sorry" to be the next single, however.
