I'm Addicted

Perchance I am predictable in that I'd have to feature the new Madonna, MDNA.
It seems trendy these days to spell your album or band name without vowels; we had MSTRKRFT, MGMT, SBTRKT, TRST and now Her Madgesty has jumped the bandwagon, in addition to playing with the acronym for the chemical compound in ecstacy, MDMA. She has always been a clever gal and perhaps she wants us to think that listening to her music will soar our spirits into the upper echelons of bliss.

On MDNA, she is back with producer William Orbit and goes full throttle into the current pop-dance likes of DeadMau5, Benny Bernassi, or David Guetta. It's fist bumping anthems that only Madonna can do--references to turning the radio up, to boys, to girls, to being a sinner. Honestly, I cringe at her referring to herself as a "girl" when she is 53, but hey, she's in shape and doesn't look her age (maybe with some dermatological help?) and can still get men half her age, so mazel tov. I don't care for the single," Gimme All Your Luvin", but the opener, "Girl Gone Wild" gets my attention, as let's remember, I had my come-uppins while listening to dance music and raving with candy necklaces and UFO pants. On a whole, we are told the story of divorce, that Guy Ritchie only wanted her for her money, that there is not enough love in the world for her, that she would give anything and everything of herself for a man willing and capable of providing her with an endless and unconditional love right back. Instead, she is having fun with younger and very handsome males, in a sense bringing her full circle, back to her beginnings as a Boy-Toy.

If you are any sort of music snob, or hate dance music or Madonna, then this might not be for you. If you are a lifelong fan such as me, or looking for something fun to listen to while getting ready for a night on the town or having dranks with friends, give the Material Girl your time and money.

Here's my Jam, "I'm Addicted" (the other hott track, deep cut is "Some Girls", by the way):
