"Give It To Me" will become one of her biggest dance hits.I just know it.I can't imagine too many longtime fans disliking that one.It's great!!




Those early reviews are fun,but yeah...the songs never sound like the reviews indicate! To me,at least.

BREAKING NEWS:

HEARTBEAT IS A TOTAL RIP-OFF OF...

DON'T YOU KNOW

I read this on a Madonna forum.If you'll recall,ICON did the same thing when 'Confessions' was released.They gave their members an exclusive track,"Super Pop".I'm seriously considering joining ICON,mainly because of the upcoming tour.They're gonna have pre-sales for the members.That's how you get the best seats!

"Don't You Know"? The 1981 Madonna song? Maybe that's why I like it so much

SoulAlive said:

Yes sir! And you don't even have to listen that carefully to get that!

update: and now I also find the new The beat goes on's "little-bells" reminiscent of Life is a bitch (and then you die) with Otto Von Wernherr! :drunk:

whiteheat said:

I'll have to play these songs back to back."Don't You Know" is one of Madonna's best songs.I like it better than anything on her debut album.

hellomoto said:

I love "Miles Away".It seems like it's the most "serious" song on the album,and the lyrics are sad.On one of the radio interviews,Madonna said that she thinks it will be a future single.




Months ago,I predicted that "Dance 2Night" would probably sound similiar to Justin's "Rock Your Body".From the way it's been described,that's the vibe I thought it would have.Looks like I was right.



This album will easily outsell the last two Madonna albums.It's extremely commericial and radio-friendly.It won't be hard for Warners to pull four or five strong singles from it.I heard that they wanna release five singles.

The first thing i noticed is that her voice sounds different. i simply dont get everyone saying how she sounds like the old madonna, to my ears she's never sounded like this.

As for the songs I love some of them: Miles Away, Incredible, Hearbeat, Give It To Me, all sound great - but her voice is strkingly different. Dare i say shes never sounded this bad?

Listen to the demos from the first album, or from Ray Of Light, and they are miles away (scuse the pun) from her vocals here.

songs like Dont stop or inside of me. Not exactly fast but faster than the rest

newpower99 said:

I ordered the maxi-single,so I'll just wait for it to arrive.Has anyone heard these remixes? Are there any great ones?

rainbowchild said:

Would you say that's the best remix?

mrexperiance said:

One thing I like about this album: There is no shortage of "fast" songs This ain't your typical midtempo R&B album."Candy Shop","4 Minutes","Give It To Me","Spanish Lesson" and "Incredible" are pretty fast.

Soul Alive, once again we share the same opinion/taste!!!

graecophilos said:

Okay..um..where's the so called urban vibe?

I know these r just clips..but did she team up with Timba, Justina
& Pharell 2 come up with the GAYEST fucking album of her career?

Martinelli said:

That's what surprises me most about this album.She worked with hip-hop producers but the end result is an album that's decidedly dance/pop,not really "urban" at all."4 Minutes" is the only track with an urban feel.Pharrel's songs,in particular,are straight-up dance tracks.By and large,Madonna is a pop artist.Her pop sensibilities didn't get lost in the production.That's a good thing.



I don't know about that,but her hardcore fans have nothing to worry about.She didn't sellout to hip-hop after all.

SoulAlive said:

After listening to each a few times. Im feeling the Peter saves PAris Mix the most..its great.

newpower99 said:

Can't wait for the maxi-single.

If you could see me the way you see yourself
I can't pretend to be someone else

I like "The Devil Wouldn't Recognize You"

I just listened to the snippets. I'm relieved, though nothing blows me away yet. But then, they're only 30 seconds.


Thanks God they fixed The Beat Goes On.

Raze said:

Ill be amazed if there is anything that blows me away. its a radio friendly dance/pop album, and from the sounds of it Im gonna like most of the 12 tracks. Spanish Lesson sounds like shit though - she always has to have one stinker though.

yeah, I wonder what La La and Ring My Bell will sound like!

Martinelli said:

Weird that Madonna hooked up with Chic producer Nile Rodgers to produced "Like A Virgin" her most pop-like and souless album of her career.

henree said:

nah..just listen 2 'Let's Dance'

Martinelli said:

Never heard of that track?
