Madonna aka M Dolla is everywhere right now, including in my iPOD. Her newest release, Hard Candy took a few listens to grow on me, but once I found the songs that I liked, I have been playing them nonstop since. With production from my boo in my head Pharrell and a song featuring Kanye West, Beat Goes On (which is one of my favorites) this particular cd brought me back to the days of Madonna’s early career with songs like “Everybody” and “Holiday“.
Back when I should have only been singing along to Sesame Street, I was busy watching Prince and Madonna on MTV (I feel like I always say this but that explains so much about me today lol), and although through the years I haven’t been a fan of everything they have done (American Life, Cinnamon Girl) I still get excited when either of these ICONS bring me back to why I once loved them so much.
Before it gets time for Madonna to need a hip replacement (Prince already beat her to it) I will be getting tickets to see her for her upcoming Sticky & Sweet Tour. Say what you want about her but when I get to 50 years old you better believe I want to look that good.
Speaking of hot new music, go get Estelle as well, her cd took a few listens for me to really get into but overall she has a pretty hot cd.
Anyways…this is from one of my favorite Madonna era’s…probably because it reminds me of the time when I was still innocent. And I would love for someone to explain this video cause I still don’t get it.
