From Drowned in Madonna:
Our team member Ditaluver has finally heard the entire yet-unreleased Madonna track we told you before. Here is how Ditaluver describes the track.
"It's a GREAT track. I adore it... more than "Hung Up" and its got HIT written all over it.
It's sort of electronic hip hop. It has that Justin Timberlake beats, with electronic blips and low level groans. It's VERY American sounding, BUT VERY European at the same time. The beats and the bass are very Justin Timberlake, Timbaland etc., but there is a whole electronic thing, almost like Mirwais Light. It's very layered. Her voice goes from deep, to high, to spoken. The music has beats, and groans, and blips, and guitars. There is a lot going on.
This could, very well be just a demo... and it may not end up on the final album... but I'm pretty certain it WILL be the lead single and a great way to kick off a new era."

Don't tell the Lex any of this, he'll have nothing left to live for after he hears it.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 22 July 2007 17:29 (eighteen years ago)
ned there's the second paris album in the works. actually more excited about that tbh!
― lex pretend, Sunday, 22 July 2007 17:31 (eighteen years ago)
Hahaha, bless you sir. So who is working on this second album, then?
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 22 July 2007 17:35 (eighteen years ago)
Storch, yes?
― Tape Store, Sunday, 22 July 2007 17:41 (eighteen years ago)
That's good; I don't feel bad about saying "STORCH MUST BE STOPPED".

It has that Justin Timberlake beats, with electronic blips and low level groans.
I thought it was the listener who was supposed to supply that last one. Call and reponsee, people.

― pisces, Sunday, 22 July 2007 22:57 (eighteen years ago)
It's VERY American sounding, BUT VERY European at the same time
What the hell is that supposed to mean?

damn son

"tick tock"...so lame but "4 Minutes" is ok. the odd flourishes satisfy more than the main dish (the trumpets are overused), and justin carries what's left, pretty much.

GODDAMNNNNNNN

"the trumpets are overused"
disagree (but i dig brass)
― Tape Store, Sunday, 23 March 2008 18:16 (eighteen years ago)
this song is awful.
― The Brainwasher, Sunday, 23 March 2008 18:18 (eighteen years ago)
Haha I didn't actually realise it was Justin on this! The idea of a Timbaland-produced Madonna and Justin track with superhero brass fanfares and a chorus of "we've only got four minutes to save the world" my all rights *should* be the best idea in the history of pop music but the actual record is totally less than the sum of its parts.
Also I can't recall a Madonna single on which she's has so little vocal presence. She shouldn't NEED anyone else to help her carry the song.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 23 March 2008 18:19 (eighteen years ago)
it's like "elevator" by flo-rida with all of the goodness drained out.
― The Brainwasher, Sunday, 23 March 2008 18:19 (eighteen years ago)
Uh, "Elevator" is boring. This has cool brassssss and is pretty fun (but yeah, less than the sum of its parts, obviously)
― Tape Store, Sunday, 23 March 2008 18:58 (eighteen years ago)
I still like this a lot, but it feels like a Shock Value track, not the first single from a Madonna album.
― Tape Store, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 15:55 (seventeen years ago)
madonna sounds really really old on these

she sounds like your friend's mom who buys you & yr bros vodka so she can come to your party & make everybody uncomfortable
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 15:56 (seventeen years ago)
they should make a video ripping off inspired by that 'Prisencolinensinainciusol' clip
― blueski, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 15:57 (seventeen years ago)
altho that Ellen thing is halfway there!
― blueski, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 15:58 (seventeen years ago)
the keyboard brass is kinda lame.
― Jordan, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 15:58 (seventeen years ago)
i wish she would die
― carne asada, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 15:59 (seventeen years ago)
i really like ray of light but everything since then has seemed really crass to me
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 16:00 (seventeen years ago)
this included
UHHHHH "Hung Up"
And keyboard brass is awesome. So much fun.
― Tape Store, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 16:02 (seventeen years ago)
hung up: yes. this: NSM.

haha nice
big hoos did you like 'sorry'?
― deej, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 16:47 (seventeen years ago)
or 'die another day'
I'm liking this. Fake brass is nice.
― baaderonixx, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 16:56 (seventeen years ago)
haven't heard this yet. in general i think madonna is a great singles artist, but madonna + timbaland + timberlake seems like too many cooks in the kitchen. it's why bjork is less and less interesting (to me) over time, too.
― tricky, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 16:59 (seventeen years ago)
seems like after lifting the bass line of 'Can you feel it?', she is now plundering the horn melody.
― baaderonixx, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 17:05 (seventeen years ago)
I like the song she did with Britney better.
― !Alicia!, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 17:34 (seventeen years ago)
me too
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 18:54 (seventeen years ago)
i'm kind of warming up to this, but the furst 30 seconds and the last 20 seconds >>>>>>>>>> the parts with Madonna singing.
― The Brainwasher, Friday, 28 March 2008 23:48 (seventeen years ago)
if they changed the chorus part from "madonna" to "mcdonalds" you'd have a nice commercial jingle and a better song
