Questo disco è LA SUMMA DELLA DISCO ANNI 70-80-90-00.

Le citazioni sono innumerevoli peraltro sfacciate DONNA SUMMER, BEE GEES, JACKSON 5, ABBA ma anche i più recenti KYLIEMINOGUE, STARDUST, JAMES BLUNT.

Il disco si apre con quel capolavoro commerciale danzereccio che è HUNG UP che non solo rifà abilmente il sample degli ABBA ma riattualizza il testo della canzone "LOVE SONG" del vecchio album 'LIKE A PRAYER' in cui dettava con quel geniaccio di PRINCE. La seconda canzone GET TOGETHER ricorda invece a mio dire un vecchio successo di 'STARDUST' anni '90. SORRY è invece forse il pezzo più Pop dell'album dove si sente l'eco dei JACKSON 5 ma con un inizio che ricorda il suo vecchio successo FROZEN. Madonna dice al suo uomo che non è neanche la metà di quello che lui aspirerebbe essere per lei, non vuole scuse.

FUTURE LOVERS è DONNA SUMMER I FEEL LOVE l'unica canzone che non emoziona forse anche per il fatto che è stata comunque campionata all'inverosimile da altri ma la sua rielaborazione non è certo da meno anche se Kyle l'aveva già fatto due anni prima in un suo album. Certo non aveva l'appoggio produttivo di Mirways. Con I LOVE NEW YORK siamo ancora dalle parti dei JACKSON 5 peraltro la stessa canzone che non svelo quale. LET IT WILL BE : IL TRIONFO DEL SINTETIZZATORE! Qui a mio dire siamo negli anni 90 con ROBERT MILES. Ed a questo punto arriva la canzione più bella "FORBIDDEN LOVE": il trionfo del vocoder molto anni 80 con un motivo che ricorda la sample di un videogame di quegli anni. JUMP invece cita sempre se stessa da 'LIKE A PRAYER' KEEP IT TOGETHER.

Ancora vocoder e si passa a  HOW HIGH ed anche qui ricorda ROBERT MILES, davvero trascinante ma non è solo leggerezza c'è un fondo di malinconia nel progetto il passato ritorna semprer a galla con lei.Per ISAAC siamo ancora dalle parti di FROZEN con un DUETTO DANCE MISTICO ETRASCENDENTALE. Lei ci ricorda che tutta la vita è una prova e c'è la speranza di una via d'uscita anche se la nostra anima è spezzata. PUSH cita secondo me per certi versi la hit di JAMES BLUNT che a sua volta si era ispirato a... (aiutatemi) non è vero che ha rinunciato alla ballata per questo album in quanto l'ultimo pezzo che ti piaccia o no lo è in un certo senso velocizzata non mi fa venire niente in mente forse è l'unico pezzo nuovo di tutto l'album!

Ma voi direte dove sta la bravura ? Ma nel sapere sempre rielaborare il passato per farne qualcosa di nuovo piacevole a tutti come dovrebbe essere la nostra vita: UNA CONTINUA REINVENTION. Riuscire sempre a reinventarsi la propria vita e credetemi non è cosa da poco. E non venitemi a dire che sono stato banale perchè lo sareste voi.

Decisamente non il suo capolavoro ma UN ALBUM DA ASCOLTARE E BALLARE CON LEGGEREZZA E FRIVOLEZZA.

01   Hung Up (00:00)

Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly

Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby, night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting for you

Time goes by so slowly for those who wait
No time to hesitate
Those who run seem to have all the fun
I'm caught up
I don't know what to do

Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
I don't know what to do

Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby, night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you

Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby, night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you

Ring, ring, ring goes the telephone
The lights are on but there's no one home
Tick tick tock, it's a quarter to two
And I'm done
I'm hanging up on you

I can't keep on waiting for you
I know that you're still hesitating
Don't cry for me
'Cause I'll find my way
You'll wake up one day
But it'll be too late

Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby, night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you

Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby, night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you

Every little thing
Every little thing
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you

Waiting for your call
Waiting for your call
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you

Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
So slowly (x11)

I don't know what to do

Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby, night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you

Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby, night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you

Every little thing
Every little thing
Im hung up
Im hung up on you

Waiting for your call
Waiting for your call
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you

02   Get Together (00:00)

(It's all an illusion)
(There's too much confusion)
(It's all an illusion)
(There's too much confusion)

Down
Down
Down in your heart
Find
Find
Find the secret
Turn
Turn
Turn your head around
Baby we can do it
We can do it alright

CHORUS
Do you believe in love at first sight?
It's an illusion, I don't care
Do you believe I can make you feel better?
Too much confusion, come on over here.


Can we get together?
I really, I really wanna be with you
Come on check it out with me
I hope you, I hope you feel the same way too

I search
I search
I search my whole life
To find
To find
To find the secret
And all I did was open up my eyes
Baby we can do it
We can do it alright

Do you believe that we can change the future?
Do you believe I can make you feel better?

Can we get together?
I really, I really wanna be with you
Come on check it out with me
I hope you, I hope you feel the same way too

Can we get together?
I really, I really wanna be with you
Come on check it out with me
I hope you, I hope you feel the same way too


It's all an illusion
There's too much confusion
I'll make you feel better
If it's bitter at the start
Then it's sweeter in the end

CHORUS

Can we get together?
I really, I really wanna be with you
Come on check it out with me
I hope you, I hope you feel the same way too

Can we get together?
I really, I really wanna be with you
Come on check it out with me
I hope you, I hope you feel the same way too



It's all an illusion
There's too much confusion
I'll make you feel better
If it's bitter at the start
Then it's sweeter in the end

03   Sorry (00:00)

Sorry

Je suis désolé
Lo siento
Ik ben droevig
Sono spiacente
Perdóname

I've heard it all before
I've heard it all before
I've heard it all before
I've heard it all before
(repeat)

I don't want to hear
I don't want to know
Please don't say you're sorry
I've heard it all before
And I can take care of myself

I don't want to hear
I don't want to know
Please don't say 'forgive me'
I've seen it all before
And I can't take it anymore

You're not half the man you think you are
Save your words because you've gone too far
I've listened to your lies and all your stories
You're not half the man you'd like to be

I don't want to hear
I don't want to know
Please don't say you're sorry
I've heard it all before
And I can take care of myself

I don't want to hear
I don't want to know
Please don't say 'forgive me'
I've seen it all before
And I can't take it anymore

Don't explain yourself cause talk is cheap
There's more important things than hearing you speak
We stayed because I made it so convenient
Don't explain yourself you'll never see

(Sorry in multiple languages)
(Sorry, in english, looped multiple times)

I've heard it all before

I don't want to hear
I don't want to know
Please don't say you're sorry
I've heard it all before
And I can take care of myself

I don't want to hear
I don't want to know
Please don't say 'forgive me'
I've seen it all before
And I can't take it anymore

Don't explain yourself cause talk is cheap
There's more important things than hearing you speak

04   Future Lovers (00:00)

I'm gonna tell you about love
Let's forget your life
Forget your problems
Administration, bills and loans
Come with me

In the evidence of its brilliance (4x)

Spoken:
In the demonstration of this evidence
Some have called it religion
This is not a coincidence
Would you like to try?

Connect to the sky
Future lovers ride, their ambitions high
Would you like to try?
Let me be your guide
Put aside your strife
Future lovers hide love inside their eyes

In the evidence of its brilliance (4x)

Not controlled by time
Future lovers shine for eternity
In a world that's free
Put away your past
Love will never last
If you're holding on to a dream that's gone

I'm gonna tell you about love
Would you like to try?

In the evidence of its brilliance (4x)

There's no love like the future love

Come with me

Connect to the sky, future lovers ride
Their ambitions high
Would you like to try?

Brilliance ... (4x)

In the evidence of its brilliance

Di  quadrispro

 Con un solo punto fermo: è Madonna, e funziona. Ancora una volta.

 È un disco da ascoltare, da ballare, sempre d’un fiato per preservare l’inganno.


Di  manovalanza

 Madonna fa una scelta anticlassica: parlare di ansia e rassegnazione sotto uno strato di miele dance.

 Il mondo dello spettacolo è carne da macello, spremuto da un business che sacrifica la salute degli artisti.
