"The Game"
 
Positive: I LOOOOOVVEEEEE acoustic Madonna. I absolutely adore all "American Life" unreleased tracks. For me Madonna + acoustic guitar (+ synths sometimes) = perfection!
 
Negative: Madonna should release "American Life" 3CD Super-Extra-Mega-Deluxe Edition with songs like "The Game", "Miss You", "It's So Cool", "Set the Right"
 
 
 
Next: "Dear Father"

Bang Bang Boom
 
Positive: I like the beat of the song by itself
Negative: It doesn't fit the lyrics at all
 
Next: The Game

Who cares? This is about making a few bucks off her music by selling some alcohol. Likely the ideal/intended audience for most of those horrid "club mixes".

Diplo on Madonna

You co-produced several songs on Madonna's new one, including her new single. What do you make of the ageism she faces?
She created the world we live in. It already sucks to be a woman in the music industry, but to be a boss woman is even harder. She sold out her tour in minutes, but no one seems to want her to succeed — "Madonna, we've been there, done that, now we're about Kim Kardashian." Her song "Ghosttown" was a guaranteed Number One for anybody else, but she didn't get a fair shot. With "Bitch I'm Madonna," everyone said there's no way it will go anywhere, but I'm like, "Screw it, it represents you more than anything."

 

Sorry she only sells skin products on instagram.

fuck it.American Life+ The Missy Elliot Remix is fucking hilarious. I love Mirwais, everything he touched was so beautiful. Fuck what ya heard I love the rap its ridiculous.- It was (still is?) widely misunderstood and more relevant today than ever. Especially the original, full, amazing video. Also the fuck its really add to the message of the song and were absent on almost all media/promo. Fuck it and fuck that.Next: Triggering Your Senses

that is curious somewhat

honk honk vogue. honk honk love break.

Where Life Begins
 
Positive: I love songs about oral sex, so... this is already a winner there.
 
Negative: The length (just kidding this song could go for two hours)  Um... perhaps piano? It sounded a bit sad when I first listened to this song, so I avoided it for a while
 
Next: Mer Girl

So you keep claim that Judge and attorneys were just did play and listening Vogue CD in the court room and then made a conclusion for Million dollar lawsuit. And we are the only one listening these stems right? 
 
Wow how unfortunate they were! 
 
They would be better to hire you as attorney than professional attorneys! 
 
Then at least you can say to Judge that "I just find out this stem on the internet! I bet that no one knows what is the stem is in this Music industry. so no one even think about to bring this stem to this multi millions dollar lawsuit Until I heard."
 
go for it.

+ the title,i love New York too- Get off my street, need i say more (Not a fan of this one)Next: something to remember (song, not album)

Orlando needs to get fired stat.

AGEISM? BITCH I'M MADONNA!
Since its debut as track #6 on the first appetizer from Rebel Heart (a damage control release that hit iTunes and other digital platforms in December to counteract the leakage of a large number of early demos recorded for the album), Bitch I’m Madonna has been splitting fans between those who rave about its urban inflected eccentricity and those who loathe it with no mercy, most probably because the day the Queen of pop revealed to web surfers (via her Instagram account) that Thomas Wesley Pentz (better known as Diplo) had joined the dream team she was working with on her new project, many people felt something explosive was going to shake music industry, but very few suspected the limit dividing genius from insanity (and vice versa) was bound to be broken.
 
Bitch I’m Madonna is not the most controversial lyric Madonna has ever written (as the title might wrongly suggest); Bitch I’m Madonna is just more than this, it’s Madonna and her crew thinking outside the box (once again) and upsetting radio friendly music stereotypes in the name of unconventionality and Next level shit avant-garde.
 
In fact, it only takes a few listens to her Rebel Heart album to appreciate that perfectly balanced mixture of freaky attitude and sonic madness distinguishing the track from the rest.
 
Let’s analyse what happens in a little over 3 minutes: the choppy acoustic guitar riffs serving as intro are quickly followed by a frenetic muddle of synthesizers underpinning the verses and resembling the late 90’s trance sounds loved by Sophie, a mysterious up and coming DJ who hides his true identity behind a female nickname and has additionally produced the cut flaunting innovative techniques we’ll mention further on.
 
Verbal provocations (Blow up this shit tonight! / Gon’ blow up! / Who do you think you are?), shouted aloud like the most hopeless caffeineaholic would do, let the track fall into a pounding trap interlude driven by a weird synth line (a cross between geese melodically honking and chainsaws) dominating the mix and accompanying what turns out to be the song keystone: a catchy nursery rhyme in which La Ciccone praises unapologetic impudence and care-freeness singing the ironic hook Bitch I’m Madonna, a collective motto everybody can make their own to justify politically incorrect behaviours and anti-conservative tendencies.
 
Then, a way more chaotic whirlwind of stuttering ravey synths and sampled handclaps overlapping each other (and wildly mating) introduces a rap by Nicki Minaj, who rides the beat with her distinctive, ostentatious flows until the rhythm gets mellow toward the end and gives way to the dreamy chords of an electro lullaby, abruptly interrupted by a mechanic dog sound-alike barking in the final breakdown.
Unavoidably trapped in a love/hate affair, Bitch I’m Madonna marks a turning point anyway, maybe it will also set a new trend: it’s the very first output from a globally acclaimed artist to take advantage of the unusual instrumentation supported by PC Music (a London based indie label Sophie belongs to), conceiving digital beats just like a malleable metal and manipulating synths in order to make them mimick liquid, plastic and onomatopoeic sounds where necessary (tracks like Hey QT andLemonade totally sum this mindset up).
 
In step with what the song is about, the music video for Bitch I’m Madonna, directed by long-time collaborator Jonas Ã…kerlund (who directed previous master-works such as Ray Of Light, Music,Ghosttown and the American Life original cut), features surprise cameos from an impressive plethora of celebrities (Beyoncé, Kanye, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Rita Ora and Jeremy Scott to name a few) and captures Madonna and her dancers while partying hard and fooling around at Andre Balazs Standard High Line in New York.
 
This new clip, enhanced with the brightness of its polychromatic frames and the kitschy fluorescence of its characters, is also a visual support for something ballsier than just nocturnal fun: it’s a trenchant middle finger given to Madonna’s new arch enemy, a form of discrimination calledageism fuelled by detractors who like to trash female performers no more in their twenties by diminishing their public image and banning their tracks from the most influential radio stations.
 
Available as a Remix EP on iTunes and other digital stores right now, via Universal/Interscope Records (and already climbing Billboard Dance/Club Chart thanks to DJ’s spins), Bitch I’m Madonna is the official third single taken from Rebel Heart as well as the first one to reflect the fearless and provocative side of the record, opposed to the more romantic and emotional vein marking Living For Love and Ghosttown.

Songs like Secret, Why's It So Hard, Forbidden Love and In This Life are now time capsules of an era in world history, similar to Blowin In The Wind, Give Peace A Chance, or A Change Is Gonna Come. Pretty cool.

Growing Older With Madonna

Madonna in the music video “Bitch I’m Madonna†from the album “Rebel Heart.†The video was released last week.

By JANCEE DUNN

JUNE 24, 2015

In the video for “Bitch I’m Madonna,†a party anthem released last Wednesday, the pop star of the title, in a clingy Moschino leopard-print dress, hot-pink coif and gold teeth grills, romps through the corridors of the Standard hotel along Manhattan’s High Line. “The bass is pumping,†she sings, adding a suggestive phrase before gleefully making out with some guy in the hallway.

Madonna will turn 57 in August. As she has repeatedly pointed out, her age is not going to slow her down. “Shut up jealous bitches!†she wrote recently on her Instagram account. “I hope you are as fun loving and adventurous as me when you’re my age!!!! Hahahhahaha let’s see.â€

But the subject of her advancing years dominates seemingly every conversation about her, as she has become a crusader, willingly or not, against age discrimination. As someone who once tracked her closely, I have watched with queasy fascination her attempts to navigate the undeniable fact that she is growing older before our eyes in an era of obsessive self-documentation and rampant oversharing — one that she had a direct hand in creating.

Over the last several months of Madonna’s publicity for her latest album, “Rebel Heart,†I toggle between indignation at the barrage of old-lady jokes (her tumble at the Brit Awards provoking feigned concern about a broken hip) and embarrassment at her febrile determination to be the world’s youngest, raunchiest 56-year-old. It’s relentless: the awkward onstage kiss with Drake, the topless shot in Interview magazine, the strenuous demonstrations of libido. Alongside an Instagrammed photo of the male model Andrea Denver, she wrote â€œ8 pac! Hell to the Yeah!†(This was followed by three heart emojis and a thumbs up.)

When Madonna lifted her Givenchy matador costume to flash her fishnet-encased derrière on the Grammys red carpet, I reacted first with a kind of clinical admiration (her workouts must be intense, given the muscle mass you lose starting in your 30s), followed by prim disapproval (come on, it’s not as if photographers are going to ignore you if you don’t flash them). Why does she have the seemingly compulsive need to shock and titillate, drawing from a playbook that is now over three decades old? Yes, she is constantly reinventing herself, but is she evolving? “There comes a time in every Salome’s life,†Harvey Fierstein once wrote, “when she should no longer be dropping the last veil.†Has the queen of reinvention reached that point?

Certainly, when it come to her aging process, belief is easy to suspend. Her skin is flawless, as evinced by the photo she posted from inside the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, sandwiched between the much younger Katy Perry and Lady Gaga. Then there is her preternaturally toned frame, honed by grueling workouts a reported six days a week and showed off in Versace ad campaigns.

Much of the hand-wringing around her age focuses on her lack of dignity. But she’s not a United Nations ambassador — she’s a pop star. And let’s not forget that when pop stars now shoot whipped cream out of their bras and wear dresses made of meat, it’s because they are trying to clear the bar she set.

In her 1991 documentary film, “Madonna:Truth or Dare,†cameras were voyeuristic, which seemed radical then and eerily prophetic now: Here is Madonna slurping soup while chatting on the phone, there is Madonna getting her throat examined by a doctor. “She doesn’t want to live off camera, much less talk,†said Warren Beatty, her boyfriend at the time.

Now we all live constantly on camera, busily Instagramming and tweeting our every move. Madonna’s throat exam is demure compared with “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,†on which we would not be surprised to see a high colonic recorded for posterity.

Kanye West, a Kardashian in-law, calls Madonna “the greatest visual musical artist that we’ve ever had.†Her music videos — over 60 — helped define the genre; she has had more No. 1 singles (45) than anyone. Along with Michael Jackson, she expanded the video form from a routine performance — or, in the early days, a goofy skit shot on a paltry budget — into four minutes of emotionally layered storytelling.

But she was late to social media — she joined Twitter in 2012 and Instagram in 2013 — and there’s been a stream of gaffes as she attempts to be down with the kids.

In 2000, back when the narrative was easier to control, I interviewed her for thecover story in Rolling Stone. Our chat was to take place in her office at Maverick Records in Los Angeles. Sick with nerves, I showed up an hour early — I had been told she doesn’t tolerate lateness — and sat in front of the building, trying to calm my hammering heart.

She was witty, well read and told amusing stories, such as her worst job as a teenager in Michigan: a house cleaner, scrubbing the toilets at the homes of the popular boys.

I wormed my way into the bathroom adjoining her office, opened the cabinet and dutifully cataloged the contents for my friends: a bottle of Fracas perfume, a geranium facial spray from a company called Tree of Life (which we all ran out and bought) and La Mer face lotion.

She was fine-boned and tiny, even though she was heavily pregnant at the time with her son Rocco. At one point, I had to help her, puffing, out of a chair. It was odd to see a person celebrated for her superhuman strength so physically vulnerable.

Now I see her as vulnerable in a different way, the constant products from her outrage-generator obscuring her talent. The strange thing is that like her triceps, her voice is stronger than ever, most notably in March during a live performance of “Ghosttown†at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, with no horned dancers, just Taylor Swift strumming guitar. (What better testament to Madonna’s power than to get one of the biggest stars on the planet to be your backup player.)

Among the most intriguing tracks on “Rebel Heart†is the simple, haunting “Joan of Arc,†in which she reveals that contrary to belief, the haters do burrow under her skin. “Each time they write a hateful word,†she sings, “dragging my soul into the dirt/I wanna die.â€

In interviews, Madonna has repeatedly said that she is kicking down the doors so that the women following her will not have to deal with ageism. Perhaps she has begun to change the paradigm already: People magazine selected Sean Connery as its Sexiest Man Alive at age 59 (and bald as a cantaloupe), while 42 (Halle Berry in 2008) is the current ceiling for Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive.

“I take care of myself; I’m in good shape,†she told a reporter after her Grammys flash, with some epithets for good measure. She can show her bare bottom, she pointed out, “when I’m 56 or 66 — or 76.â€

She can, she very well might, and the world will probably still be talking about her. Since I’ve probably seen her derrière more often than I’ve seen my own at this point, I won’t be clicking on those photos.
