Madonna punches out younger rivals, not least Lady Gaga, with her new album, argues Will Hodgkinson

A lot rides on Madonna’s new album. Her acting career never took off. W.E., her biopic of Wallis Simpson with the clunky parallels to Madonna’s own life, is a misguided exercise in narcissism. But on MDNA Madonna successfully returns to what she does best: hi-energy disco, as thrilling as it is unhealthy. Central to a 360-degree deal worth a reputed £40 million, the album, which features a host of producers and cameos from Nicki Minaj and M.I.A., sends out a clear message: there can only be one queen of pop.

Girl Gone Wild
Produced by Euro dance sensation Marco Benassi, this features a big thumping beat, an ultra-low electro bass, and Madonna’s voice, speeded up and put through a vocoder, carrying a pop song so cheesy it could have fallen off the last Britney Spears album. That’s not a dignified place for a 53-year-old woman to be, but this is one of those creations in which a series of unpleasant ingredients make a tasty meal. With lines like “I don’t want to be like them, I just want to have some fun,” it’s liberating in its meaninglessness.

Gang Bang
An ultra-modern musical setting gives the opportunity for Madonna to don a murderous sexpot persona. Over police sirens and an air of urban malevolence, Madonna lists, in a deadly calm voice, the horrors she will impart on a rival. These include not only shooting him/her in the head, but also going to Hell so she can shoot them all over again. Studying the Kabbalah doesn’t seem to have brought inner peace.

I’m Addicted
Here’s a return to the Madonna of old with a light piece of disco. Giorgio Morodor-style keyboard squiggles come and go, while a rave piano arrives half way through. Madonna sings about love feeling “like a drug, and I can’t get enough”. The Demolition Crew add club-friendly sounds.

Turn up the Radio
This is another dancefloor smash that will go down well at G.A.Y. “There’s a glow of light, calling you to go outside,” she sings, reviving the spirit of classics such as Ray of Light and Like a Prayer. Uplifting, escapist pop.

Give Me All Your Luvin’
As performed at the Super Bowl, with guest vocalists Nicki Minaj and M.I.A acknowledging their debt to the queen by spelling out her name in cheerleader shouts. It’s a great song until M.I.A ends her spot by saying “I don’t give a shit.” She sounds like she had second thoughts halfway through, so it comes out as “I don’t give a shirt.”

Some Girls
Not a Rolling Stones cover but another club tune, this one with odd electronic squiggles from producer William Orbit. She sings about “crying in a limousine”, presumably to reassure us that the rich and famous have problems too.

Superstar
The album’s first electric guitar before Madonna pays her lover a series of compliments. “You’re like Brando on the silver screen,” she says, which any man would like — more than “You’re like Caesar, stepping on to the throne.”

I Don’t Give A
The missing word of the title might well be “fig”, since this is the song in which Madonna comes to terms with the end of her marriage to Guy Ritchie and resulting loss of position in the British upper classes. “I tried to be a good girl, I tried to be the perfect wife,” she claims, before pretty much admitting this is a lie by saying in a robotic voice, “And if I was a failure, I don’t give a … [fig]”

I’m a Sinner
The best song on the album finds Madonna rejecting her Catholic upbringing and claiming that she’s happy to be a sinner. Once the cross goes in, however, it never comes out, and Madonna admits as much: “St Sebastian don’t you cry, let those poison arrows fly.”

Love Spent
This unremarkable disco filler is intended to pad out the album before the glorious climax. The music is boring but the words are intriguing: “You played with my heart, till death do us part, that’s what you said.” Is this an arm outstretched to Guy Ritchie?

Masterpiece
Madonna seems to be reflecting on the sadness of life’s impermanence here, as she sings about nothing being indestructible while admitting that she fell in love with someone’s work, or their masterpiece, rather than the person within. Rather schmaltzy, but with stirring strings, not unpleasant.

Falling Free
MDNA ends with a song of heartbreak that is tinged with cautious optimism. With her best, most natural vocal delivery on the album, Madonna sounds genuinely emotional — rare for her — as she describes a break-up and the bittersweet feeling of freedom its aftermath brings. A classical setting brings all the drama you want from Madonna: she may be strong, but she cries real tears. “We’re both free, free to go,” she sings, dabbing at the corner of her eye with a handkerchief.

Let's jumpstart this sticky!

I'm in Madonna mode tonight. Here is one of my all time favorites--a pop classic:

I can't wait for the new tour!

This one's always been a favorite of mine, particularly because I think she is sporting a "Lovesexy" kind of look (check out the bow in her hair)... and the song it hot!

I don't know why it would remind me of MJ while listening to it though no mj song occurs to me right now. I can feel pain in this though through the lyrics and vibe despite it being dance. It makes me think of Janet's Throb and Free Xone musically though those came after.

the 7 tracks that we have heard so far....

How is the Erotica album? I'm not sure if i'd like it as it sounds very 90s right?

Erotica is still my fave M album.

"Masterpiece" and "Give me all Your Luvin'" (which I previously hated, but can now tolerate in the context of the other songs) sound OK. The others all sound the same.

Out of her 90's albums, I like almost every track on Erotica. I like the subject matter overall a bit better than the music itself though it has really good shining moments. It may be dance music like the early 90's, but it doesn't sound like a carbon copy at all and she plays with the harmonies. I would call it dance infused hip hop for the most part.

Madonna Interview with Gorden Smart for The Sun

In an exclusive interview with Gordon Smart for “The Sun”, Madonna confessed she feels her “head is going to explode” from the stress of being a single mum after her divorce from Guy Ritchie.

Here is part one!

On parenting skills…
I’m not going to lie — it’s hard work having four kids and doing all the work I do.
Everybody has something to say about the way I live my life.
At the end of the day I’m doing my best. If people don’t like it, then that’s really their problem.

On divorce…
Sometimes I cope with it very well, sometimes it’s a struggle.

On the MDNA song “I Don’t Give A”…
It’s about the life of a single mother.
It’s a challenge juggling everything — multi-tasking is my middle name. I try to express that.

On being back in the recording studio…
It was amazing. I like it — I like the intimacy of a recording studio and song-writing.
I’m using a different part of my brain when I work on music versus than when I’m directing a film.
There’s a billion more people (on set) and I don’t have that visceral outlet of being able to sing, scream and jump around.
It was very different. I love doing both but it was nice to get to the simplicity of song-writing after three years of writing a script, directing, editing and talking about my film.
To sit down and play my guitar and sing a song — I almost cried.

On being a role model…
I hope I’m a role model. I hope I give other girls a voice, women a voice, other women someone to look up to and admire. I keep rolling with the punches and trying to have integrity.
And I hope I inspire women and give them strength to deal with life no matter what comes their way.

On protecting her younger kids from some of MDNA’s more adult tracks…
Every time I get in the car the radio is on. It’s quite shocking that my five and six-year-old children know the words to every single song on the radio.
They haven’t heard my entire album, they definitely haven’t heard Gang Bang.
I doubt that will ever get played on the radio.”

On Lourdes…
Yes, [Lourdes] is my background singer [on the track Superstar]. She just came over to the studio that day. Then I said, ‘Oh, can you sing this part?’ and she agreed to.
She has a very good voice. She’s quite shy about it and won’t admit it. Lots of people are knocking on my door to meet her about everything, movies and what-not.
But she’s not really interested in any of it. She just wants to go to school. She says to me, ‘Mum, I just want to be a normal kid. I’m not ready for any of that’.
I respect that, and if she ever wants to work with me on any level I welcome it.
But otherwise I leave her to her homework and school.

On fame…
We just try to have as normal a life as possible.
My life with them at home is really just about schoolwork and health and the after-school lessons just like everybody else.
Most of them go to a French school. My French is not very impressive, but it’s good enough. Everyone in my house speaks perfect French but me.
I’m getting better at understanding when they’re not talking about their homework.
I’m now picking up things and saying, ‘What did you say?’. I know the necessary swear words, so they have to be careful.

On the album title MDNA…
It’s an anagram of my name. I don’t really think about controversy — I think about irony.

I'd like to give it a try now. I need some old Madge before new Madge comes out.

'Erotica' is amazing and very much of it's time ie. early 90's House and Hip Hop. But is a great piece of work with some great songs/lyrics/themes. Definately underrated and overlooked album, mostly due to the Sex book. Enjoy.

I agree!

Erotica is my second most favorite Madonna album ever, my most favorite Madonna album is Ray of Light..... 90's was a experimental and very artistic peroid for Madonna.

WOW! Just sat down and really LISTENED to "Confessions On The Dance Floor" for the first time and now I see what people mean when they say it is an under-rated pop classic. This album is SO GOOD! I love it. It is so fun discovering Madonna albums I never heard before for the first time and to find stuff this good!

THIS ONE!!! An amazing song--I just love it!

'Adele fat? That is ridiculous. She’s great, how much she weighs has nothing to do with it'
Madonna hits back over jibe that shocked pop

Speaking her mind ... Madonna opens up to Gordon Smart in Day Two of her exclusive interview
ExclusiveBy GORDON SMART, Showbiz Editor Published:

Today at 01:12 IN her three-decade reign as the undisputed queen of pop, Madonna has never shied away from controversy.

Madonna on her family life
SHE tells Sun she feels her ‘head is going to explode’ from the stress of being single mum
Madonna is singing the bruise Girl Gone Wild is pure Mad-gic Madonna rolls back the years Madonna may be set to wed And she has lost none of her appetite for a good verbal scrap — as she demonstrated when she sprang to the defence of Brit star Adele after Karl Lagerfeld called her "too fat".

In Day Two of an exclusive interview with The Sun, Madonna branded the legendary fashion designer's comments "horrible" and "ridiculous".

Last month, the eccentric Chanel designer claimed Tottenham-born Adele was "a little too fat" when he guest-edited a French magazine.

But Madonna, 53, stuck up for the Grammy-winner, hitting back: "That's horrible. That's ridiculous, that's just the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

"I don't like it when anybody says anything bad about anyone — I don't like it. Adele's a great talent and how much she weighs has nothing to do with it."

Madonna, who has won seven Grammys and two Brit awards, explained how she has sustained a career in music spanning more than a quarter of a century — and said it is decent advice for Adele, 23, to stay on the right track.



No weigh ... Adele was labelled 'fat' by Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld
She said: "The thing for Adele to remember is at the end of the day, whether you rise or fall, it has so much to do with how you sustain yourself and keep your integrity and your inner strength.

"It is all about who you surround yourself with — friends and people who really do care about you, and care about your well-being beyond being a superstar. That's the most important thing."

Over the past six months, two of the brightest female solo stars have passed away in tragic circumstances.

Last July Amy Winehouse died aged just 27 after suffering a public battle with drugs and alcohol.

Then last month Whitney Houston was found dead in her hotel bath in the Beverly Hilton in LA. She was 48.



'Horrible' ... Madonna has hit out at Karl for his comments about Adele
Like all music fans, Madonna was shocked by the deaths before their time.

She said: "I, probably like everybody else, was hit by this shocking sense of disbelief – especially with Whitney Houston.

"It had not been a secret, the struggles Amy had been through — both brilliant, brilliant artists and obviously both huge losses.

"But when these things happen, I'm always shocked by the first thing you say — 'It's such a loss' — which doesn't quite cover it.

"Then you reflect and you think, 'How did it happen? How did the people around them allow it to happen?'

"We've lost so many great artists that way when you think about it. So history just kind of repeats itself over and over.



"One thing I was struck by with Whitney Houston is I remember she sort of came out as a singer around the same time I did.

"I remember looking at her singing and hearing people talk about her, and just thinking, 'Oh my God. She's such a beautiful woman and my God, what an incredible voice. I wish I could sing like that.'

"I just remember being extremely envious of her and also touched by her innocence.

"I was watching a documentary about Serge Gainsbourg, the French songwriter, and there's a famous talk show he did that happened a while back when Whitney was just starting.

"It was funny, because I'd just watched it the week before she died, where he was making a kind of play for her on national television and he was basically saying in French that he wanted to 'f' her — and the look of shock on her face...



Gone too soon ... Amy Winehouse
"I mean, she was so innocent and so young, and so cute, and really she blushed.

"And I was thinking, 'We are all innocent at one stage in our life. It's just interesting, the paths our lives take.'

"I was struck by that — how well she started and where she ended up and the tragedy of it."

Madonna is about to release her twelfth studio album, MDNA, and kicked off the promo cycle for the release with a high-profile gig during half-time of the Super Bowl last month.

The gig, with Brit M.I.A and New York rapper Nicki Minaj, sparked huge controversy in the US when M.I.A flicked a middle finger at the camera.

If you blinked, you would have missed it. But it didn't stop a conservative audience complaining in their thousands — with a very different finger of blame pointing at Madonna.



'We've lost so many great artists' ... Whitney Houston died in February
But the mum-of-four has mixed views about the uproar. She said: "Well, you know, the thing is we were in NFL territory.

"We were in the sacred ground of football and I think that it's a very important and well-viewed event.

"It was accepted and understood by everyone performing that we would be — what's the word I'm looking for — politically correct.

"I think the NFL were more worried about me than anything else, thinking that I was going to do something crazy or provocative. And I really had no intention of doing something shocking.

"I was working too hard in putting the show together to think about how I was going to do something to p*ss people off.

"They fought hard for me to get me more rehearsal time, and to give me what I wanted creatively for the show.



Flipping out ... M.I.A caused outrage after she swore during the Super Bowl
"I felt like I owed them to give them back what they wanted.

"So on that level, I was upset because I knew that I got some people into trouble that really went forward for me.

"And I don't wanna do that — I don't want anybody to get in trouble at my expense because they worked so hard to give me what I wanted, so there's that side of it.

"On the other hand, I didn't know M.I.A did it, and everybody was outraged about it so I viewed the footage and I kind of almost missed it.

"And I was like, 'Oh, okay'. It didn't seem like that big a deal at the end of the day, so there's two sides to the story.

"You know, that's her thing, it's pretty punk rock and actually, in the bigger picture of things, much crazier things have happened."

Fans around the UK and Ireland have already bought tickets to see Madonna perform this summer in London, Edinburgh and Dublin.

And she hopes the shows will cause as much of a stir with her own fans in the stadium.



On stage ... Madonna performing with M.I.A right, and Nicki Minaj, left
She said: "Oh God, I hope somebody is going to give the middle finger at my show. It probably won't be me because I've done it too many times.

"I hope I have some ideas. The creative well is dry but I just started rehearsals last week and mostly I have been focusing on music.

"I do have ideas and I have a lot of work ahead of me. I'm incredibly anxiety-ridden about it."

There is no sign of Madonna packing up her fishnets and leotard either — even though she has passed the half century.

And fans will be pleased to hear she is as motivated as ever to carry on her illustrious career.

She said: "I guess I love doing what I do. I have a voice, I have opinions, I have things I wanna say.

"I love music, I love telling stories. So I guess as long as I feel that way I'll keep doing what I'm doing."
