So I believe next month Madonna’s new album comes out. It’s a collaboration with Justin Timberlake and Timbeland. Needless to say, I’m not excited nor pleased. I will reserve final judgement when I hear the whole thing. The early leaks though, not happy!
I think I’ve made it pretty clear that I’m sick of hip hop having taken over anything and everything music wise and am ready for the revolt to happen and the big shift in music. It happened in the 80s with hair bands. It happened in the 90s with grunge. It happened in the late 90s with boy bands. It’s overdue at this point. Like Ethel Merman’s disco album, Madonna’s hip hop album might just usher in the end of this era.
I am in the need of happiness right now, so I’m posting this video, one of my favorite Madonna songs which I don’t think got the justice it deserved. For your viewing and listening pleasure . . . . “Dear Jesse.”
I think I remember reading somewhere that she wrote that as a lullaby for Lordes. I don’t know if it is true or not. I have always liked that song too.
I know this might be the end of our friendship, but I am not a Madonna fan, BUT I respect her career. She has mastered the “reinvent” yourself thing… She does not have the best voice, she is not the prettiest girl, but yet she is MADONNA! – She is a very smart person and that I can respect. I like that she has Justin and Timberland for her next CD, which just shows that she yet again is reinventing herself. My favorite song is that one she did were she was walking and walking in the video and it had a country/desert background. Ok, I am going to be bed now…I am so sleepy…goodnight 🙂
