I actually don't mind it, it's not amazing but not terrible

 

I'll wait until it gets released officially before I decide, it's only a snippet after all.

She should be all like "911, POP EMERGENCY!" and release it, along with whatever she did with Natalia Kills. :tea:

Well, the American Life era was a time where Madonna was very political. She bashed Bush for going to war in Afghanistan and Iraq but people wanted revenge for 9/11 so it looked really bad on Madonna's part. It was also one of her floppiest eras also. She was trying too hard, it seemed, to be political. She was also taking stabs at the American dream as you could through the lyrics of American Life and Hollywood and of her own life in Mother and Father.

 

People could hate all they want but I liked this version of Madonna. She was cynical, yes, but she was so personal in her lyrics and music at this time like in Like a Prayer and Ray of Light that it seemed she was being truthful with every song on the album despite its cheesy lyrics which she most likely wrote the majority of which just supports how true to herself and her art she was this era

 

This song's genuine lyrics reminded me of those from American Life, but there's one problem: She doesn't actually seem to mean it. In American Life, she ponders about her life and shared some of her regrets about what she's done. But what did she do? She continued to do the exact same things for the next 10 years that she just "regretted" in her album.

 

So other than feeling a bit better that Madonna finally admitted how narcissistic she is, it doesn't mean anything to me because the song gives a misleading sense of growth that she never actually did. And if she did, she's not showing it.

Nice addition. I felt the same thing with this new song. It's like she's trying to be real but it just comes off as fake. I just love American Life for how true it was. I even listened to it today for the nostalgia and to listen to X-Static Process. American Life didn't seem manufactured or as robotic as Rebel Heart. I just wish she would work with lesser known producers like she did then with Mirwais Ahmadzaï or with Stuart Price. I would say she should work with William Orbit but after his contributions to MDNA came to be a disappointment except for Falling Free and I guess Love Spent which should have been a single, I no longer have faith in Orbit, especially after he worked with Chris Brown in "Don't Wake Me Up"
