Hedging her bets to stay in the game
2012 | Label: Interscope

Thirty years after her first single, Madonna has to jump hurdles just to stay in the game. Having completed her Warner Bros. contract, she needs to make her new business partners, Live Nation and Interscope Records, happy by motivating old fans to keep coming to her shows while at the same time winning the young audience that turns the wheels of social media. She must also remain relevant in a world where Lady Gaga has usurped her club queen/gay icon/Third-Wave feminist/cultural provocateur throne.

So it’s no surprise that MDNA hedges its bets, enlisting 25 co-writers and four production teams, and if it fails to match the sales numbers of 2008′s hip-hop-y Hard Candy, which generated chart-topping single “4 Minutes,” or 2005′s Confessions on a Dancefloor, which sold 10 million globally, its garish Eurodance grooves still position it firmly in the international mainstream of the moment. It sounds like a party — one that’s already selling tickets to her upcoming world tour.

But what’s often forgotten is that Madonna is also a serious artist driven to examine herself in public. It’s no surprise that the least convincing song on any Madonna album is the one in which she professes not to care what… read more »

Icon: Madonna

By Barry Walters, eMusic Contributor

From the very start, Madonna has called the shots. She has most always co-written her own material, a quality that immediately distinguished her from most disco warblers. But unlike, say, Donna Summer, who did the same, she also clearly controls her image, and takes an active hand in her sound: She's co-produced nearly all of her records since 1986. Although her instrumental skills remain limited, the singer ensures that her output bares an unmistakable authorial… more »

Six Degrees of Madonna’s Ray of Light

By Philip Sherburne, eMusic Contributor

It used to be easier to pretend that an album was its own perfectly self-contained artifact. The great records certainly feel that way. But albums are more permeable than solid, their motivations, executions and inspirations informed by, and often stolen from, their peers and forbearers. It all sounds awfully formal, but it's not. It's the very nature of music — of art, even. The Six Degrees features examine the relationships between classic records and five… more »

New This Week: Madonna, Mirel Wagner, Billy Hart & More

By J. Edward Keyes, Editor-in-Chief

Madonna decided to wreak a little havoc by releasing her 12th album, MDNA, yesterday instead of today, which caused a host of other acts to do the same thing. To which I say: NICE WORK, SHEEP. We'll forgive you this time. Here's what I found. Tell me what I missed in the comments. Madonna, MDNA: Madonna's 12th album finds her reuniting with producer William Orbit on several tracks, teaming with M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj on another… more »

A Brief History of Cheerleader Pop

By Barry Walters, eMusic Contributor

Madonna wouldn't be doing her job if she weren't getting critics' knickers in a bunch. Fortunately, she did it again when "Give Me All Your Luvin'," the cheerleader-themed lead single from her 12th album, MDMA, drew comparisons to Nicola Roberts's similar 2011 U.K. hit "Beat of My Drum." But as the history of this micro-genre reveals, cheerleader pop is by definition derivative. Its nostalgia aims to recapture adolescence, a time when infatuation with contemporary musical… more »
