Levitating (Feat. Madonna & Missy Elliot) : OUT NOW!

[Roland Barthes 4,632]

I love it more and more. Mike Dean co-produced it so i guess he is Madonna's new go to person since Rebel Heart and sound engineer on tour. FUCK THAT hahaha.

I wish she kept it for herself, turned it into a solo track with "go on the dance floor" lyrics (like a lot of her iconic hits). I understand Dua Lipa fans not liking because it's too sophisticated and they are too young to know real club music. They'll be happy about in a few years when they grow up and developp a more sophisticated taste.

Also Lauren D'Elia is involved as a vocal engineer!

I still have a hard time to recognize Madonna's voice. Although it had a different treatment compared to Madame X, I feel like they tried to make her sound similar to Dua Lipa. I find this humiliating. Her voice is so distinctive. The fact that they want her to sound young and different makes me really sad. The night the song was released I had an emotional breakout and lost hope we will hear her real voice again.

Sounds like Madonna to me! Especially when she's riffing.

Yes I agree, I could easily hear her in the second verse and on the rest of the track - she sounded so fresh!

It still could chart on the Hot100 when he album drops if we stream the album version.

[Nahual 579]

Officially a Top 10 hit!... on the Bubbling Under chart. 

Now can Madge just work with Stuart on her next album instead of jumping on the Dua bandwagon sinking ship?

How is the song doing in Billboard Hot 100?

Just stream the remix, at least it has Madonna on it

[Roland Barthes 4,632]

Madonna should work with Blessed Madonna and Honey Dijon on her next album. An all female project. If she added Miss Kittin to it, it would be bliss. There are really great female dj /producers out there like Nancy Whang or Marie Davidson. But we'd probably get Tracy fucking Young. 

I wish we had an extended version of Levitating. It's too short !

Honey Dijon is a great DJ but her production work is uninspiring and lacking any creativity. So no thx ;)

I don't agree.

I like her chill retro deep house sound

 

[Roland Barthes 4,632]

Another great female DJ/Producer : Joyce Muniz

To me it’s all just so banal. Lacking warmth, depth and creativity. 
 

decent background or elevator music though. 
 

Everything Naomi did. with Jessica6 is superior.

No, is the week chart ?

I know it is week chart, but I think it is the week where Dua released the song on the last day to count for the chart. So the song had only one day to chart

Got my 12"!! ? and there's my cdsingle too hehehe ?

 

[A500 249]

Why a lot of you are so attacking Dua Lipa all the times ? She is a new young artist, she loves Madonna, she has said several times that she genuinely loves her. Why attacking her? Her cd was one of the best one of 2020 together with the new Alanis Morissette one.

I won't speak for others, but I've been critical of her for the entire Future Nostalgia era for a number of reasons, the main one being that the entire album is just a regurgitation of what every other dance pop artist has released since the dawn of time. In terms of my dragging her hard over this remix in particular:

1. I don't like the remix. The original song isn't my cup of tea either, but at least it's more digestible and less desperate. This remix was Dua's attempt to milk the album one last time in the same sense that her new remix album is a way to milk the Future Nostalgia era.

2. I don't care that she kisses Madge's ass, it doesn't mean that I have to like her, especially when she's just the newest Madonna wannabe, except with less charisma and far less dancing talent than some of the previous ones that we've tolerated. An artist liking Madge is nice, but some of us have minds of our own and we don't need validation from other artists.

3. I don't agree that Future Nostalgia is some work of art despite what every gay on ATRL or any other fan forum would have us believe; like I said before, to me her album's a rehash of musical themes that everyone and their mother has done before in better ways. And I don't give a damn about its 88/100 Metacritic score - I don't praise albums just because they're critical darlings.

I agree 100%. She's faaaaaaaaaaaar from great. She's ok.
