Madonna Goes Back To Her Roots With Confessions On A Dance Floor
By now you've probably heard of the Abba Gimme, Gimme, Gimme
sampling dance club monster hit Hung Up and probably wondering
if the rest of the new Madonna album Confessions On A Dance
Floor is any good. Well it's definitely good and has a string of
very nicely produced tracks by the Les Rhytmes Digitales
mastermind, Stuart Price, as well as a couple of other producers
on the album. In Fact if you happen to have the Les Rhytmes
Digitales Darkdancer album you'll notice some similarities. The
similarities of the early 1980's sound that was present on
Darkdancer and which is present on Confessions On A Dance Floor.
Of course the album gets right into the beats with Hung Up the
best single off of the album. Hung Up has an infectious
repetitive beat that makes you want to get up and dance. It's
catchy and definitely the strongest single off of Confessions On
A Dance Floor. The next big track is Sorry which is going to be
the next single off of the album. Sorry is almost as good as
Hung Up but lacks a little. I assume it's lacking the sample.
Also, other good tracks on the album are Jump, Let It Will Be
and Forbidden Love. The entire album is a continuous mix so as
to have the feel of a DJ mix at a club. It is called Confessions
On A Dance Floor after all.
Overall this is a great album but not Madonna's best. I assume
she's getting tired of recording and finding the next sound.
Perhaps she should release a remix album of her past hits. Or
maybe release another Immaculate Collection. Confessions On A
Dance Floor has it's moments so it's still worth checking out.
