Living For Love - Single Thread

[vanjaborrderline 103]

Guy Oseary is doing a bad job. his heart is not in project Madonna, it is in his many other projects. 

Madonna is getting old and she doesn't notice those things.

 

while she is in London working for Brits, he is in his house in LA having a "Madonna" post Oscars party and he is having fun and taking pictures with Lady Gaga..

 

maybe next year that party will be named "lady gaga party"

Not good ???

[Rod Erick 70]

Rolling effect according to airplay experts (because the song entered it's eighth day of regular airplay). Let us all check tomorrow if the trend will continue.

are we forgetting that soon he'll be with U2 on the Innocence + Experience Tour 2015?

Their prices have gone up so much, even for nosebleeds are way too much. But even though I'm not a huge fan outside the singles and How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb onwards they put on an amazing show.

 

The tour ends mid November, so it makes sense that Madonna will be touring around this time as well.

The Queen of Pop returns to top 40 radio and, as previously reported, celebrates her historic coronation on Dance Club Songs. 

Debut No. 36 "Living For Love" Madonna

Madonna debuts on Pop Songs at No. 36 with "Living for Love," aided by concentrated on plays on several iHeartMedia-owned stations; for instance, WHTZ New York played it 19 times in the week ending Feb. 22, according to Nielsen Music, and KIIS Los Angeles spun it 16 times. She makes her 29th visit (dating to the chart's October 1992 launch) and first since 2012, when "Give Me All Your Luvin'," featuring Nicki Minaj and M.I.A., and "Girl Gone Wild" reached Nos. 24 and 38, respectively (sparked by notable plays at iHeartMedia; "Luvin' " aired hourly for nearly three days at the chain leading up to her Super Bowl halftime appearance that year).

As previously reported, "Living," which Madonna performed at the Grammy Awards on Feb. 8, makes esteemed history on Dance Club Songs, where it reaches No. 1, becoming Madonna's 44th leader on the list. She ties George Strait, who's logged 44 No. 1s on Hot Country Songs, for the most toppers by an artist ever on any Billboard chart. "Living" also debuts on Dance/Mix Show Airplay at No. 35.

yeah the thing is that usually their tours add latinamerican dates for the next year and I dont think this one will be the exception.

You think so? Sure hope your right!

The worst part about that single cover is the fact that they didn't even crop the original picture, is like they just squeezed it to fit a square shape

 

First it was this:

 

 

and now we see this:

 

 

which looks more natural. Let's wait and see how it'll actually look in a CDSingle slim case which is not exactly square.

I heard the current champion...a song by Wyclef and Avicii. I am really glad that Wash All Over Me and Rebel Heart were taken to different sonic territories instead of retaining the Avicii sound. The current Wash and Rebel are timeless. Rebel being one of the most effortlessly joyful tracks I've heard from the Queen. A perfect deluxe album closer.

Review: "Living For Love"

Written by Madonna, Thomas Wesley Pentz, Maureen McDonald, Toby Gad, Ariel Rechtshaid, and U. Emenike

Produced by Madonna and Diplo

Released December 2014 by Interscope

 

Pros

• [*]

Piano chords and house beats that draw connections to the past

[*]

Tasteful gospel-tinged backing vocals

[*]

Confident, empowering lyrics that look to the future

Cons

• [*]No significant negatives here
  

The release of "Living For Love" is a cause for celebration for Madonna fans. After seeming to get mired in self-pity and gimmicks on the MDNA project, this kickoff to the album Rebel Heart is Madonna back in the form most of her fans love best. The sound of "Living For Love" hearkens back to her big dance hits of the past like "Express Yourself," "Like a Prayer," and "Vogue" while the lyrics give us a confident artist prepared to face any difficulties in the future. This is a very welcome return.

 

"Living For Love" was originally conceived as a breakup song and presumably related to Madonna's 2008 divorce from second husband Guy Ritchie. However, along the way she decided to shift the focus to feelings of empowerment following the end of a relationship. This puts "Living For Love" in a similar category to Katy Perry'sempowerment anthems like "Roar" and "Part Of Me." The song avoids being a downer and instead sounds triumphant.

 

A brief electronic introduction gives way to Madonna's opening vocals underlined by piano chords. R&B superstar Alicia Keysplayed piano tracks for the song. It's not long before a thumping house beat kicks in and then gospel-tinged backup vocals are added. By the time we hit the chorus, we're in familiar Madonna dance pop anthem territory. The backing voices that weave in and out through the bridge were delivered by members of the London Community Gospel Choir. 

 

Madonna utilized a large team to put together the record. Grammy Award winning DJ and producer Diplo co-produced the record with Madonna. The songwriting team is a bundle of hot talent. In addition to Madonna and Diplo, veteran Toby Gad, co-writer of "Wrecking Ball" MoZella, Vampire Weekend producer Ariel Rechtshaid, and rising British dance music writer and producer MNEK all received credits. The result is a record that gives many echoes of Madonna's past but still manages to sound contemporary and forward looking. 

 

A music video directed by the French duo J.A.C.K. fits the spirit of "Living For Love" well. "Take a Bow's" bullfighting theme and choreography that would have fit well with "Express Yourself" connect the new clip to Madonna's storied past. However, partnering with SnapChat for the music video's release instantly connects the artist to younger artists and the technological present.

 

"Living For Love" was originally released just before Christmas 2014 after demo recordings from Madonna's Rebel Heart were leaked onto the Internet. It was part of what Madonna called a six song "early Christmas gift" for her fans. The song took off at dance clubs and soon became her record-breaking 44th #1 dance club chart hit. However, it wasn't until after a well-received live performance of "Living For Love" at this year's Grammy Awards that the song began to make a significant impact on mainstream pop charts. As it enters the mainstream radio top 40, "Living For Love" is Madonna's first mainstream pop radio hit since 2012 when both "Give Me All Your Luvin'" and "Girl Gone Wild" reached the top 40. This time it is a very welcome return as Madonna is clearly back in form with a song that draws a firm connection between the past and the musical present.
