If listeners find all the
earmarks and trademarks of Madonna in her latest album, that’s a testament to
her deep involvement to the process of creating the package, her twelfth and
first outside her old label. The powerplay of maturity and a new
beginning she's now embarking on makes this
one another turning point to her career strengthened by
ingenuity and artistic adventure.
While the album title, “MDNA,” is
a mere abbreviation of the Mother of Invention’s world-famous name (as
suggested by collaborator M.I.A), its accidental meaning, being Madonna’s DNA,
actually defines the finished product as her imprint as one of the world’s most
successful artists of all time can be heard all over the
collection.
The 12-track album, to be
released this March 26, is led by the cool single “Give Me All Your Luvin”
featuring Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. By now the track has spread via limited
privilege as provided by iTunes --- in the process only hastening the
interest and anticipation for the Queen of Pop’s album since 2008.
Her recent Super Bowl appearance
seemed to have rubbed on to this engaging track as its official music video has
football and cheerleading as main themes.
A second collaboration between
Madonna and Minaj comes in the form of the song “I Don’t Give A.”
Album producer Martin Solveig
pointed out in an interview, "Madonna is as involved as you can be in the
recording process. We literally co-produced the tracks. I mean, at some point
she wanted to choose the sound of a snare drum or a synth and that kind of
stuff. She was really in the session!"
One other track of high interest
prior to the formal physical CD release is “Masterpiece” which bagged the
Golden Globe Award for Original Song in the last edition of the Awards.
Recorded in New York and LA,
“MDNA” had Madonna reworking with ex-collaborator William Orbit (who worked on
“Ray of Light”). The latter co-wrote and co-produced several cuts for the new
album.
Other numbers in the album are
“Girl Gone Wild,” “Gang Bang,” “I’m Addicted,” “Turn Up the Radio,” “Some
Girls,” “Superstar,” “Love Spent,” “I’m A Sinner” and “Falling Free.”
Madonna’s “MDNA” is soon to be out under MCA Music in
CDs at leading record bars nationwide or online via mymusicstore.com.ph. To download Madonna’s current
