MDNA -tripping back to the clubs with Madonna


MDNA - THE QUEEN OF POP LATEST OFFERING to the pagan rites of music,  pop magic  and idolation is a trippin trip  in itself .Highly confessional and biographical over the last years of her marriage , career and tribulations this album boast strong references to her life this time around. not a cookie cutter album as the last Hard Candy.

As the Mother of reinvention and morphing into personas that mix the magic of music, religion and sexuality over subjects of taboo that stir and envelopes our imagination, she has remained relevant over her nearly 30 years span of music when other Pop stars drop like flies.

 Yes, Madonna’s in a rapturous state of mind in 2012, and in more ways than one: A bulk of her latest album, an incredible, varied collection of pounding club cuts, bloody revenge odes and swinging, psychedelic ’60′s-tinged anthems, seems to be tripping out on acid–or, more accurately, ecstasy. After all, the euphoria-inducing club drug (MDMA, formally speaking) is largely responsible for the cheeky, initial-inspired album title, MDNA.

This time around with MDNA , an offering that  she is here to reclaim her Throne as the Queen Of Pop. below are the Hottest tracks remixed frm MDNA -from various sources 



 Like her classic 1989 release, MDNA is a post-divorce record. Unlike Like A Prayer, which was released only a few months after her divorce from Sean Penn, MDNA comes almost four years after the fact. Since then, new love has already sprung.

 As a result, there’s contrasting moods at play: MDNA is an incredible, explosively defiant record–full of both euphoric club cuts and swoon-filled swinging ’60′s pop anthems, yes–but also unexpectedly raw, introspective balladry, all of which showcasing far more vulnerability than one might have concluded from the album’s two lead singles.

MDNA won’t help to reassert Madonna’s position on the throne as the Queen because of forward-thinking production or a particularly relentless promotional campaign. Instead, it serves as a reminder of what Madonna has always represented (and what most other modern pop stars fail to truly grasp): Fun. 

There’s the religious aspect–a signature characteristic in the Madonna catalog. This time however, it’s back to Sunday School: Gone is Ester, Kabbalah-centric songstress present in the earthier cuts of Ray of Light and the Hebrew-soaked mysticism of tracks like Confessions‘ “Isaac.” No, Madonna Ciccone has us returning “Like A Prayer” territory on MDNA, down on our knees and grasping at our rosaries for forgiveness.

 Forget the bible: Everything one ever needed to know about Catholicism can be found in MDNA.

Falling stars -remembering Whitney Houston

News shock the Music world on the morning of Grammy's 2012.




Whitney Houston died in her  hotel room at the Beverly Hills Hilton on Feb 11.2012


One of our beloved Divas and one of the last from her generation had a rocky marriage, battle with addiction, drugs and alcohol...and most recently her fight to get back on top. Did the media frenzy and poor review of her last World tour affected this once Queen of pop. I still like to remember her always as the ....





The Voice

Houston was a mezzo-soprano, and was commonly referred to as "The Voice" in reference to her exceptional vocal talent..Her vocal range extended from G below middle C (G3) to high B-flat (B5); she could belt out to treble F (F5).She was third in MTV's list of 22 Greatest Voices, and sixth on Online Magazine COVE's list of the 100 Best Pop Vocalists with a score of 48.5/50.] In 2008, Rolling Stone listed Houston as the thirty-fourth of the 100 greatest singers of all time, stating, "Her voice is a mammoth, coruscating cry: Few vocalists could get away with opening a song with 45 unaccompanied seconds of singing, but Houston's powerhouse version of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" is a tour de force.

long time Musician Tony Bennet spoke of her... spoke of Houston's death before performing at Davis' party. He said, "First, it was Michael Jackson, then Amy Winehouse, now, the magnificent Whitney Houston", tying it into his public stance in favor of legalizing drugs.

After a recent arrest at a Hawaiian airport, Houston went into detail about her drugs of choice. However, she said that she drew the line at crack cocaine saying, "Crack is cheap. I make too much money to ever smoke crack. Let's get that straight. OK? We don't do crack. We don't do that. Crack is wack.

MODE : Madonna conquers 2012..last attack 1990

Looks like Gaga can go on a Holiday this year 

and her Little Monsters can hibernate...

 

In a tale that was last spun in 1990 where Madonna Mania covered the globe was when 

She released the "SEX"Book , Erotica -the album, and tat Movie- Body df Evidence.

with imagery of SEX, Sexuals innuendos bursting at the seams...leather and lace 

and lotsa of skin of other Celebrities too. Has the Queen of pop gone too far than?

the Sex Book sold wthin hours of being on the market, the frenzy of the metallic covered book 

dulled the Album -Erotica altho any Madonna Fan will never agree. 

 

Nevertheless has she become smarter this time around ? So What is in the Cards this time ?

W.E -her much acclaimed Directorial debut...the story of Royalty, Love and Scandal that rocked a Nation.

 

Give me all your Love -lead song for her upcoming album.

MDNA-new album with the likes of collobaration with Nicki Minaj..among others

MADONNA: WAL STREET JOURNAL INTERVIEW

Madonna
Madonna is in heavy promotion mode.

Madonna has been seen everywhere promoting her film W.E. Madonna has premiere the movie in the UK and New York City. Madonna has been on the Nortan Graham show, Anderson Cooper and much more.

Well Madonna has an interview with the Wall Street Journal. Madonna talks about her movie her new album and much more. Here is what Madonna had to say:

You have a movie coming out, a fragrance, a new album and a tour—and now the Super Bowl. Was this a master plan?
Madonna: No, everything kind of converged in a bottleneck. I was always planning on making a record when I finished my film but I ended up finishing my film much later than I had expected so, because I had already scheduled time with all the producers and writers for my record, I had to multitask and work on my record at the same time I was finishing my film. And then somehow it worked out that the record was being finished right around the time the movie was coming out. Then I got talked into doing the Super Bowl.
That sounds like a lot of obligations.
I want to do everything really well. I kept saying to my manager, “I don’t want to do the Super Bowl unless I can really give it my all, and really focus all my attention on it.” And he said, “Don’t worry! There won’t be any problems. You’ll be able to concentrate just on the Super Bowl.” Now of course my movie is coming out during the Super Bowl so it’s a little bit nerve-racking.
How’s the rehearsing going?
It’s not an easy show to do because you have such a short period of time to set the stage up. And you’re performing in the round so you can’t direct anything that walks off anybody’s sight line. You have eight minutes to put your stage together, 12 minutes to do the show and seven minutes to take it down.
What did you find so fascinating about the Duke and Duchess of Windsor?
What intrigued me about their story was how polarized people felt about her and him, and the abdication [of King Edward VIII], and that period of history and what they were: Did they love each other? Were they Nazis? Was he gay? Was she vicious and a social climber? They were a very controversial couple. I am very interested in that period of history, prewar England, and in deconstructing the cult of celebrity, which is another layer of the film, the way we peg and sort of diminish a lot of people who we don’t understand and who we are afraid of.
What convinced you that they were not Nazi sympathizers?
Research. And not being able to find any empirical evidence whatsoever that they were. People came to me and said they were, and I said, “OK, show me. Prove it to me. What is the evidence? That [Edward] had a meeting with Hitler in 1936? Give me the reason.” It would always go back to “This is what I heard.”
Did you identify with Wallis Simpson on a personal level, in the way she was judged all the time?
Yes, to a certain extent. I think that she didn’t have the ability to defend herself the way I do now, or we do now. It was a different time. The media was different, and women didn’t have the choices that they do now. Even so, there were moments, there were lines in her letters that I thought, “I could have written that.”
Anything in particular that resonated?
Just the experience of being treated unfairly in the press, not having a nice word said about you. There was a time where I actually read what people wrote about me, and that’s a slippery slide to get on. So, if you do that, and you’re doing something controversial or unpopular, then you’re just going to be reading a bunch of stuff that isn’t nice about you. I certainly know that feeling of devastation, like “Oh, my God, the whole world’s turned against me.”
So, you really don’t read any press about yourself?
No. I haven’t even read any reviews of my film yet, and I don’t want to.
When did you decide to ignore all that?
When I adopted my son from Africa and I was accused of kidnapping him. I was so devastated by what people wrote about me, that people basically accused me of doing something criminal. That was my turning point.

Make Believe its your fisrt time & I make beleive its mine








Make Believe It's Your First Time

We've tried our hand at love before
We've been around the game enough
to know the score
But then is then, and now is now
And now is all that matters anyhow

Make believe it's your first time
leave your sadness behind
Make believe it's your first time
And I'll make believe it's mine

The door is closed
It's you and me
We'll take our time with love

the way it ought to be
This moment's ours
tonight's the night
And if we fall in love
Well, that's all right

Make believe it's your first time
leave your sadness behind
Make believe it's your first time
And I'll make believe it's mine
Make believe it's your first time
And I'll make belive it's mine
