Personally i think te album should be Stuart Price featuring madonna.
His production and writing style all over it- id lay bets that Madonna hasnt actually written much of it at all bar some of the vocals (which arent great truth be told)...but then, thats nothing new.

Hit the nail on the head. Its not a tribute to Disco- its a tribute to the sheep and their dollar bills.

p.s- that Abba sample in 'Hung up'- absolutely unforgivably bad.

thats how the industry works, the name Price doesnt sell records, Madonna does..

and yeah, that sample sucks fucking big time

i remember having the Ray of Light CD back in 2000.

Pure EDM.

Her new track... like very much. I don't care if EDM is bad for mainstream, im just glad that VH1 and MTV are giving pop a break and hip-hop a slap in the mouth.

The Prodigy are signed to Madonna's record label in the US (they're on XL in the UK) so it wouldn't surprise me.

Originally posted by Dj Havoc True. But most artists in most genres of music have to "grab whats for the taking" if you understand what I mean in order to sell records. The top selling records in the billboard (hip hop/pop) were produced by the top guys out there for example the neptunes,kool & dre, lil john,the alchemist, just blaze,kanye west,dr.dre and many more. Do you guys remember Ricky Martin, he hasnt had a hit in a long time and then what does he do, he goes and purchases a hot beat/instrumental made by the new producer Scott Storch and joins up with rising star Amerie and Fat Joe and makes a single called "I don't care" and its been playing on the major radio and Tv stations. Madonna is only doing what is necessary to sell, she does have talent and made some real classic tracks in her early career so please don't criticize her for what shes doing, because most artists who want to sell records have followed a similar formula. The only difference is that to get a "beat"/"instrumental" made for you by a famous non-edm producer it will cost you a fortune. If you want to make it and have a long "staying power" as you mentioned Ishkur, the artist has to keep putting out good music with catchy songs with beats like Jay Z has for a long period of time and all his recent album sales speak for themself. Madonna is only doing what she knows she needs to do to $ell.

I totally agree.
Any ways Madonna is a the bomb and Jacques Lu Cont is some sick producer.
So far I like "Sorry", "Forbidden Love" and "Let it be"
if you look at her history Madonna has always been very picky on who remixed. She has been in to EDM even when EDM was underground.

Originally posted by Ishkur Your use of Google is just as impressive as your return of Roddick's howitzer serves. Yes. The Bobby Orlando/Giorgio Moroder sound (the galloping synth) is hot again. I predicted it here about a year and a half ago. These are the giants upon whom's shoulders the current crop of electroclash and electrohouse producers are standing on. The 80s revival of the last few years is built on this aesthete....ie: loop an Italo Disco or Synthpop cut, call it a track. We are currently tracking them all down. Anyways, leading the charge is Stuart Price, aka Thin White Duke aka Jacques Lu Cont, aka Les Rythmes Digitales. Madonna hired him because the sound is trendy and cool, and she is good at identifying trendy and cool things in the club circuit and exploiting them. Like all true businessmen, she adheres to nothing but the almighty dollar. She has no musical morality whatsoever. If transylavanian accordian polka music was hot, she'd make an album of that too. When this sound is no longer cool in the next couple of years, she will dump it like a hot potato and move onto the next thing. This is what Madonna does. This is what she's always done. This is what she will continue to do. That doesn't mean the music is bad. Far from it, I quite like the song. But I never foster any delusions about what it is, and what it's meant to do. Tribute to disco? Please. Do you have any fucking idea how many house tracks sample disco cuts? You think Madonna thought this up all by herself? Or is she simply following the herd--and the money--in the post Mylo/Eric Prydz club scene?

oh no you didn't just diss transylavanian accordian polka music...
