A fine piece of art since her 2005 Confessions on a Dance Floor,
The album has 14 brand new songs. Rebel Heart comes as a much
awaited record after a lukewarm performance
of her previous two records.
Many of the songs are clear standouts- from the triumphant
"Living for Love" with a cape-studded performance at the
Grammys 2015 and the BRIT awards, it takes you back to the old
Madonna signatures of a choir performance, only more 2015;
to the massive post-apocalyptic "Ghosttown".
'Devil Pray' give a country inspired beat and 'Unapologetic
Bitch' takes you through a dub revalation.
'Illuminati', co-produced by Kanye West is frenetically bouncy.
'Ghosttown' was recently released as a single and in my opinion, it
is her best material since the Ray of Light video.
The record as a whole is very satisfying and has a lot of
energentic electro-dance tracks, lush ballads, and some
sing-alongs reminiscent of "gimme all your luvin'". She is
much less concerned about reaching out to any audience here
and hence sounds very confident and relaxed.
The album is a bold reaffirmation of her Madjesty's
supremacy in a genre she created and literally sculpted to
fine perfection.
Check out "Body Shop" with it's host of sexual innuendo and the
trap 'Iconic'.
Holy Water should be taken with a pill of caution. It even
has a sampler from her previous "Vogue"
My personal favorites on the album are 'Hold Tight' which soars
to optimistic ( and somewhat corny ) lyrics about love.
It is definitely the midtempo songs that steal all the
album's glitter. For a woman who exudes strength and
endurance, it is surprising to hear her being incredibly
vulnerable and revealing in her weaknesses. Joan of Arc
is reminiscent of "Crazy for You". It is the most sentimental
track and has a potential for a single.
"Wash all over me" was initially supposed to have a superb
beat infused by Avicii but the album version is good too.
Surprisingly, the album misses out on the title track "Rebel
Heart" , which is included in the deluxe and super deluxed
editions and I really don't know what to do of this.
The Deluxe/Super Deluxe Versions have additional tracks
and you would want to check out "Beautiful Scars', 'Borrowed
Time' and 'Veni Vidi Vici' amongst other beauties.
The album is already welcome by curious casual listeners,
and regardless of how it is going to perform, I love it.
It would be biased from my side because I have been a
Madonna fan since I was a kiddo.
Complementing the album is a fab cover which reminds me
of Marilyn Monroe. Check out the Deluxe Version too. It has
even more surprises.
The genius of Madonna is that she never ceases to surprise
and amaze. She has always had and impeccable charisma to be
experimental in her work, unpredictable (Coachella, anyone?)
,challenging, fearless, and still be on top.
She is a legend in her own way and a leader of contemporary
and recent pop artists. And when she wears her heart out
on her sleeve, as she has done in this one, the result is
unmatched to anything yet.
And don't be hesitant to spend those greens on this piece of art.
