[/FONT] I?m the first journo [B]IN THE WORLD[/B] to have heard her new album ? and it is an absolute belter. Have your say [SIZE=1][B]Do you think Madonna is still the Queen of Pop?[/B] [/SIZE] Tell us what you think by e-mailing: [EMAIL="yourviews@the-sun.co.uk"][B][COLOR=#cc0000]yourviews@the-sun.co.uk[/COLOR][/B][/EMAIL] Confessions On A Dance Floor wipes the, er, floor with her critically acclaimed CDs such as Ray Of Light. It is an hour of pure electronic dance/pop heaven. Madonna says: ?I want people to jump out of their seats. It?s about having a good time straight through and non-stop.? And she?s absolutely right about that. There are no gaps between tracks so listening feels like you are having a private DJ session at the Ministry Of Sound. I can?t find a weak track, and I?m confident the album will be hailed a masterpiece on its November 14 release. Below is my track-by-track guide, with ratings out of ten.
[IMG]http://images.thesun.co.uk/picture/0,,2005480828,00.jpg[/IMG][SIZE=1][B]Floor-less ... album is a belter [/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=1][/SIZE][B][SIZE=4]Confessions On A Dance Floor [COLOR=#cc3399]Track by track[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B]HUNG UP:[/B] Featuring a sample from Abba?s Gimme Gimme Gimme this is a massive floor filler and a clear No1 single. While there?s no way on earth a straight bloke could be seen dead dancing to this camp tune it will go down a storm when she performs it at London?s G.A.Y. nightclub next month. [B][COLOR=#cc3399][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][/COLOR] GET TOGETHER:[/B] Upbeat track which borrows the bass line from the Stardust dance classic Music Sounds Better With You. She sings, ?Do you believe we can change the future?? [B][COLOR=#cc3399][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][/COLOR] SORRY:[/B] One of the best tracks on the album and likely to be the second single. You?ll recognise the infectious bass line on the chorus as it?s a sample from The Jacksons? 1981 hit Can You Feel It. The opening features Madonna saying ?sorry? in lots of different languages. [B][COLOR=#cc3399][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][/COLOR] FUTURE LOVERS:[/B] Madonna wrote this with Mirwais Ahmadzai, who produced her No1 album, Music. It?s heavy on synths and you can spot a sample from the Donna Summer/Moroder club anthem I Feel Love. [B][COLOR=#cc3399][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][/COLOR]
[IMG]http://images.thesun.co.uk/picture/0,,2005480830,00.jpg[/IMG][B][SIZE=1]Gimme for No 1 ... first single [/SIZE][/B] I LOVE NEW YORK:[/B] Banging dance tune with lyrics featuring a pop at George Bush and his home state. She sings: ?If you don?t like my attitude then you can just f off. Just go to Texas, that?s where they play golf.? The chorus is: ?Los Angeles is for those who sleep, Paris and London baby you can keep, No other city will make me dance like New York? [B][COLOR=#cc3399][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][/COLOR] LET IT WILL BE:[/B] Oddly titled track uses the string opening from Papa Don?t Preach played on a synth. The track is reminiscent of Ray Of Light. An Eighties-sounding string of chords takes the track into the following number. [B][COLOR=#cc3399][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][/COLOR] [/B][B] FORBIDDEN LOVE:[/B] This is Kraftwerk inspired and features computer generated, vocoder style vocals. It sounds very Eighties and is slightly slower than the rest of the album (there are no ballads at all on the CD). [B][COLOR=#cc3399][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][/COLOR] JUMP:[/B] Features classic Madonna vocals and is reminiscent of Into The Groove. She sings: ?The only thing you can depend on is your family.? [B][COLOR=#cc3399][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][/COLOR] HOW HIGH:[/B] All about Madonna analysing and evaluating her fame and success. She sings: ?It?s funny I spent my whole life wanting to be talked about, Was it all worth it? I guess I deserve it, How high are the stakes?? [B][COLOR=#cc3399][SIZE=3]10 [/SIZE][/COLOR][/B] [B][SIZE=3][IMG]http://images.thesun.co.uk/images/white.gif[/IMG][IMG]http://images.thesun.co.uk/picture/0,,2004101361,00.gif[/IMG][/SIZE]NI_MPU('middle');[URL="http://ad.uk.doubleclick.net/click;h=v5|3317|0|0|%2a|s;14214785;0-0;1;6671646;4307-300|250;9017475|9035371|1;;~sscs=%3fhttp://www.page3casino.co.uk"][SIZE=3][IMG]http://images.thesun.co.uk/picture/0,,2004530726,00.gif[/IMG][/SIZE][/URL]NI_MPU('Embedded for DHTML'); ISAAC:[/B] By far my favourite track ? a stunning combination of wild rhythms, a hypnotic jewish chant and loads of strings and guitars. The ending is borrowed from Die Another Day. I defy anyone to not be blown away by this track. [B][COLOR=#cc3399][SIZE=3]11[/SIZE][/COLOR][/B][B] PUSH:[/B] A love song for Madonna?s husband Guy. It?s got a funky La Isla Bonita vibe about it and is ear-marked as a possible single. She sings about Guy: ?I owe it all to you, It?s because you push me, Keep on pushing like nobody.? [COLOR=#cc3399][B][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][/B][/COLOR] [B]LIKE IT OR NOT: [/B]A bit like her hit Fever, this song is once again Madonna analysing herself and saying, take me as I am. She sings: ?You can call me a sinner or a saint, This is who I am, You can like it or not, You can love me or leave me, But I?m never going to stop.? This track completes the album beautifully with a classical guitar ending. Quite clever to put out a wholly electronic album ? and close it with an acoustic guitar.
