Madonna is coming out with a new CD, called Confessions on a Dance Floor. It hits stores Nov. 14.

It has no political message (like her previous CD American Life) It is said to have "Dance/Pop/Future Disco" type songs on it. It is reported that all the songs are high energy and very happy. Madonna says she is going back to her roots in this album.

The first single on this album is going to be called "Hung Up" It comes out Oct. 17th. Be sure to look for it...

Anyway, I'm happy that her 10th album is coming out. I know many of you won't care, or dislike Madonna, but come on, everyone has to admit she is one of the most famous artists, and that you know at least one of her song titles/lyrics :)

I'll keep you updated on the sales/reviews once it hits stores etc. :)

May I ask why?

OMGS
I have to say that I love Madonna. Alot of my friends(feminists) thwap me if I mention her.
But I am SO excited about the new album!!
YAY!

May I ask why?

Not sure, perhaps he believes there are still people alive who listen to that drivel. Times have changed and madonna is no longer the queen.

The only thing i like about her is her husband, Guy Ritchie, who directs some great movies.

Madonna is teh awesom....nvm
But she is really cool...

Even though she may not sell as much as she use to, she still does make the top of the charts. Her last 2 albums have made it to number #1 in the US and in the UK. There are people who do listen to her.

Her single "music", which came out in 2000 reached number 1. And her song "die another day", which came out in 2003 got to number 8. No, she isn't making as many number 1 hits anyomre, but that is because her last album was sending a political message, against Bush, in 2003 when a lot more people still favored him. Of course she didn't sell as much. But as I said, she is going back to her roots. So I think it is safe to assume she can make hits, she has made a few recent hits, and that going back to her roots will make this CD a fairly popular one.

Madonna is timeless...like Cher...and little cucumber sandwiches...

Great, good for them. I'm just wondering why I need to be updated on CD sales.

Simple: OD is a fan of madonna, and wants to talk about an upcoming album with other fans.
If you do not want to "get updated on it", do not revisit the thread. Just don't click the link :D

Lionel, do you have a stick up your ass or something? This is the music part of allforums. To talk about music. That includes CD sales and new albums.

I'll be updating about her new CD and how well it does, but you don't have to be updated if you don't want to. You don't have to click on this thread if you don't want to be updated.

I will, however, keep this forum updated on it. That dosen't mean, however, everyone in this forum music view the updates.

Way to create pointless bickering over something so stupid. Don't get me wrong, I think you're a great guy and very smart. However, I'll be updating for anyone who is interested in Madonna. That is clearly what I meant when I first typed this out.

Don't get me wrong, I think you're a great guy and very smart.

Are you trying to come onto him :D kidding, kidding...

However, I'll be updating for anyone who is interested in Madonna.

Heck yes! Like a Surgeon is a great song...oh wait, that was Wierd Al...

Anyway, who has had more impact/popularity: Britney or "Esther"? ;)

This thread isn't about Britney vs. Madonna this is about Madonna's new CD. Create a new thread if you want to talk about the question you posed. Seriously...you seem to always make threads go off topic.

Fine *harumph*

PS- "Dance/Pop/Future Disco"
What the crap is future disco??

Relax dooood. It wasn't at all clear to me, maybe I'm stupid, but it seemed like another one of those threads where you're trying to prove an opinion to the rest of us or something. Sorry.

Her single Hung Up is out! I love this song! It seems it will make it to the top of the charts...

And the reviews for her album are very good so far (even though it isn't out yet)

New album is Madge-ic

Back on top ... Madonna

ANYONE who thought MADONNA might have abdicated as the Queen of Pop can kneel at her throne once more. I'm the first journo IN THE WORLD to have heard her new album - and it is an absolute belter.

Confessions On A Dance Floor wipes the, er, floor with her critically acclaimed CDs such as Ray Of Light. It is an hour of pure electronic dance/pop heaven.

Madonna says: "I want people to jump out of their seats. It's about having a good time straight through and non-stop."

And she's absolutely right about that. There are no gaps between tracks so listening feels like you are having a private DJ session at the Ministry Of Sound.

I can't find a weak track, and I'm confident the album will be hailed a masterpiece on its November 14 release.

Below is my track-by-track guide, with ratings out of ten.

Floor-less ... album is a belter






Confessions On A Dance Floor
Track by track

HUNG UP: Featuring a sample from Abba's Gimme Gimme Gimme this is a massive floor filler and a clear No1 single.

While there's no way on earth a straight bloke could be seen dead dancing to this camp tune it will go down a storm when she performs it at London's G.A.Y. nightclub next month. 9

GET TOGETHER: Upbeat track which borrows the bass line from the Stardust dance classic Music Sounds Better With You. She sings, "Do you believe we can change the future?" 8

SORRY: One of the best tracks on the album and likely to be the second single. You'll recognise the infectious bass line on the chorus as it's a sample from The Jacksons' 1981 hit Can You Feel It.

The opening features Madonna saying "sorry" in lots of different languages. 10

FUTURE LOVERS: Madonna wrote this with Mirwais Ahmadzai, who produced her No.1 album, Music.

It's heavy on synths and you can spot a sample from the Donna Summer/Moroder club anthem I Feel Love. 9

Gimme for No 1 ... first single

I LOVE NEW YORK: Banging dance tune with lyrics featuring a pop at George Bush and his home state. She sings: "If you don't like my attitude then you can just f off. Just go to Texas, that's where they play golf."

The chorus is: "Los Angeles is for those who sleep, Paris and London baby you can keep, No other city will make me dance like New York" 10

LET IT WILL BE: Oddly titled track uses the string opening from Papa Don't Preach played on a synth. The track is reminiscent of Ray Of Light.

An Eighties-sounding string of chords takes the track into the following number. 10

FORBIDDEN LOVE: This is Kraftwerk inspired and features computer generated, vocoder style vocals.

It sounds very Eighties and is slightly slower than the rest of the album (there are no ballads at all on the CD). 8

JUMP: Features classic Madonna vocals and is reminiscent of Into The Groove. She sings: "The only thing you can depend on is your family." 9

HOW HIGH: All about Madonna analysing and evaluating her fame and success. She sings: "It's funny I spent my whole life wanting to be talked about, Was it all worth it? I guess I deserve it, How high are the stakes?" 10

ISAAC: By far my favourite track - a stunning combination of wild rhythms, a hypnotic jewish chant and loads of strings and guitars. The ending is borrowed from Die Another Day. I defy anyone to not be blown away by this track. 11

PUSH: A love song for Madonna's husband Guy. It's got a funky La Isla Bonita vibe about it and is ear-marked as a possible single.

She sings about Guy: "I owe it all to you, It's because you push me, Keep on pushing like nobody." 10

LIKE IT OR NOT: A bit like her hit Fever, this song is once again Madonna analysing herself and saying, take me as I am.

She sings: "You can call me a sinner or a saint, This is who I am, You can like it or not, You can love me or leave me, But I'm never going to stop."

This track completes the album beautifully with a classical guitar ending. Quite clever to put out a wholly electronic album - and close it with an acoustic guitar. 10

OMG I love Madonna's song "Music." It's so damn catchy.

Hey OD I got a question. What was the 2nd single that came out of Madonna's CD "Music?" First it was Music, and then there was another one. I remember seeing the music video...I think Madonna was in some yellow car with an old lady and they crash at the end. Don't really remember..
