NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL LIVE: madonna feat taylor swift - ghosttown (live @ iheartradio music awards)

madonna feat taylor swift - ghosttown (live @ iheartradio music awards)
madonna performed one of my fave songs from her 'rebel heart' album last night on the mehHeartRadio show with a very tall t-swift on guitar. apparently taylor couldn't stop crying after the performance cause she was so happy to be a part of it. how awesomely fangirl of her!

BRIT AWARDS 2015 PERFORMANCES: taylor swift / sam smith / paloma faith / royal blood / george ezra / ed sheeran / madonna

TOTALLY proving that the kids are alright, this years BRIT awards performers were predominantly in their 20's and giving the current state of music a nice taste of something different and original. plus we throw in THAT madonna performance and well... it was a pretty darn good show if you ask me!


taylor swift - blank space


sam smith - lay me down


paloma faith - only love can hurt like this


royal blood - figure it out


george ezra - budapest


ed sheeran - bloodstream


madonna - living for love

VIDEO PREMIERE: madonna - living lor love

madonna - living lor love
initially world premiering on the new snapchat discovery section of the app for an exclusive 24 hours (thank god that's over and done with now),  madonna once again throws away the rule books and keeps her fans on their collective feet when it comes to the release plans for this album. such fun!

AUDIO PREMIERE: madonna - living for love / unapologetic bitch / ghosttown / bitch i'm madonna (feat nicki minaj)

after a tough week in which 11 demos were leaked out from the madonna vaults, madonna countered with 6 official tracks from her upcoming february album for all the fans to buy on itunes. and thank goodness these songs came out, cause they are actually quite good (where some of those demos were... not)! below are my fave tracks from the lot:

1. living for love - co-produced by diplo, this is the official first single which has all the press calling it 'like a prayer' part 2. though it has all the trappings of a possible gospel house anthem, it goes the route of something more commercial (check out the piano chords by guest player alicia keys). apparently there's a heavier house version with a full on choir and wongie fave mnek in the mix, hopefully that will be on the remixes forthcoming!

wanna hear more? check out the rest of the tracks below:

2. devil pray - meh
3. ghosttown - easily my fave track of the lot, this mid tempo ballad co-produced by billboard has the makings of a long term fan favorite. nice one this!
4. unapologetic bitch - co-produced again by diplo, i'm kind of feeling this reggae infused dubstep track.
5. illuminati - easily my least fave track from the lot.
6. bitch i'm madonna (feat nicki minaj) - yet another track co-produced by diplo (this time with sophie), this kpop infused track reminds me of some previous 2ne1 hits (who fans of the kpop group know that there already is a connection between diplo and their sound). throw in a fun verse from nicki minaj and you've got a track that will divide the critics. i personally don't mind it.

AUDIO LEAK: madonna - rebel heart

madonna - rebel heart
leaked last night, this avicii produced demo might be on the upcoming secret new album that madge has been working on. though in house claims that someone illegally put this song out there, these things are always conspicuously put out in the blogosphere to create buzz. listen while you can!

LIVE PERFORMANCE: miley cyrus & madonna - don't tell me / we can't stop (live @ miley cyrus mtv unplugged)

miley cyrus & madonna - don't tell me/we can't stop (live @ miley cyrus mtv unplugged)
so this happened the other night... what do you think?

THE SOUND OF MEH: madonna - i fucked up

madonna - i fucked up
[something so uninspired about all of the songs i've heard from the upcoming MDNA (and weirdly, this number just showcases madge's weak vocal abilities). i'm still hoping to be surprised, but it's not looking likely...]

REEEMIX: madonna - girl gone wild (justin cognito extended remix)

madonna - girl gone wild (justin cognito extended remix)
[FINALLY a version of her new material that doesn't bore me. whoever this justin cognito is, he should be praised for making 'meh' into decent!]

NEW MADONNA!: madonna - girl gone wild

madonna - girl gone wild
[i have to say, when a woman with all the resources of creativity at her disposal, comes up with something so disposABLE, it's hard not to be a hater. even the background arrangement by benny benassi (who is usually so good) is kind of lackadaisical... c'mon already madonna... make GREAT music!!!]
