i'm in love with the fact that every song has created its own world for itself. it's a signature madonna album.
Very much the way 'Music' or 'American Life' hit me upon first listen.
It seems she really has worked on each and every song with sincere thought.
Lyrically great, one of her strongest. she is definitely back.
I really also hope not much changes from these demos- they sound pretty close to perfect.
it was AMAZINg to hear them in my Bose headphones. truly amazing work.
and i'm a sucker for strings and when she uses live orchestral arrangements.
it's a little bit of everything. love love love.
event though the house or dub step stuff is ok or 'dated'
she seems comfortable in it- and technically- madonna was doing house in the early 90's with 'rescue me' and 'erotica' so it's ok- she can revisit it again after 20 years with a fresh perspective
but this is far far better than MDNA or Hard Candy--
it's like those two albums never even existed after listening to this.
