L-U-V MADONNA! Y-O-U, YOU WANNA?
The full demo for Madonna‘s upcoming single “Give Me All Your Love” has just leaked.
And guess what? I STILL LOVE IT!
As I said when the first snippets premiered this morning, the song shares definite similarities with the bouncy ’60’s-tinged space-pop Nicole Morier penned for Britney (“Rock Me In,” “Mmm Papi”), as well as the dizzying delight of Madge’s 1999 single, “Beautiful Stranger.”
That chorus is truly one massive ear-worm. Oh, and that dubstep-laden middle eight?! PERFECTION!
While I was more than a little concerned about those lyrics on paper–err, Internet, they totally work here–even that chant! L-U-V! Madonna!
And yes, I know the lyrics are still pretty silly (note: silly, not desperate), but they bring an old school Madge to mind–a fun pop star. While I L-I-V-E for Erotica/Ray Of Light-era Madonna as much as the next stan, I love me some celebratory Madonna-era Madonna all the same. I mean, hello–there’s even a “Lucky Star” reference!
“Give Me All Your Love” may not exactly be a game-changer, it’s still a refreshing turn from the sweat soaked Taio Cruz/David Guetta/LMFAO club-pop dominating Top 40 radio today (which isn’t to shade the genre–well, LMFAO can be shaded–but let’s face it, we could use a little break.)
It’s fun. It’s fresh. It’s a thoroughly modern Madonna…and all without trying too hard! Yay!
While I know not everyone will be pleased (for you, there’s a GIF) I think I can speak for a lot of anxious Madonna fans like myself when I say (after a long sigh):
THIS IS SUCH A FUCKING RELIEF!
QUEEN OF POP REMAINS QUEEN OF POP.
