Madonna – Confessions On A Dance Floor

It is not often that I buy a CD and like every track on it. In fact it is incredibly rare that I like a CD enough to want to write about it on my blog. Even with a favourite artist there is usually something which doesn’t sit right or something I don’t like. How many times do you buy a CD and find out later you only like 2 or 3 tracks? I hate that. That is exactly why so many people download music these days.

A couple of months ago we bought some CD’s. For long drives The Other Half likes something with a beat, something that keeps him awake. We had a few Madonna tracks on our compilation CD’s and I have always liked her music but I had no idea what a treat we were in for when we bought Confessions On A Dance Floor. If you like your music without all the ho’s and beeyotches that you find in (c)rap these days and you enjoy dance music, you will enjoy this cd.

You may recall a couple of the songs from this album – if nothing else you may remember the film clip where Madonna was dancing in a pink leotard. Yes, the outfit was just wrong for several reasons, not the least of which was the tan panti-hose which ended mid calf. However it is mesmerizing to watch precisely because it is so wrong.

This was soon followed by the track “Sorry” which contained a couple more equally wrong outfits, namely a purple leotard and silver leotard. The ugly tan panti hose was thankfully nowhere to be seen.

Every track is wonderful but my favourite would be Future Lovers which is like taking a bath in bass when it gets played in the car, and I love the “Give me evidence of his brilliance” lyric, and the harmonies. There’s no official film clip for this track but I found the song on you tube anyway. ;)

The bottom line is simply this. When I have to do housework I like to put music on that makes me move and this music is exactly that. It’s just over 55 minutes long and that is the perfect time – you do chores till it’s done, then you take a break for 5-10 minutes. This CD has been played over and over while we moved, at least once a day for almost two months. I still enjoy it as much as I did the first time I listened to it.

Madonna has always been a controversial strong female artist. She doesn’t do those silly high notes like Mariah does. Her voice is much more sing along and Confessions On A Dance Floor is much more dance along than any of her other albums that I can recall. If you don’t have it and you like the tracks posted as videos above? Keep an eye out for it because if you liked that you’ll enjoy the entire cd.

Obviously this was not a sponsored post – I wish it could have been! I wonder why music artists don’t seek reviews from bloggers because if we like something we’re going to tell everyone. ;) Maybe there’s not enough money in music these days with all that downloading.

  1. I’ve only listened to this album a couple of times and it is quite boppy. My favourite track is the Abba remix type one, Hung Up On You (or similar). I’ve got that on a compilation which happens to be a compilation I do housework to.

  2. Jen – I like that track too.. :) Housework to music rocks! ;)

    Liv – Is it because of the controversial stuff she’s done in the past, or another reason? I’m curious now.. ;)

    I just really enjoyed this music so much I wanted to share it with my readers. There is a shortage of good music out there these days. I don’t like anything in the top 40. In fact I don’t even know anything in the top 40. I think you get to an age where you reach a music saturation point, or something.

    Thanks for the comments!

  3. I also like Madonna’s music, it’s great to dance around the kitchen while drying the dishes. I have a large collection of compilation cd’s that I’ve made myself, Madonna is on them along with many many others that I enjoy listening to. Anything boppy that gets me moving is great to listen to in my ipod while I walk home from work. I don’t listen to music at home much anymore since L wasn’t brought up with music playing at all hours, he’s a TV person and in our small unit we can’t have both going at once. Thank goodness for ipods, when I need a music hit I just plug in and get happy.

  4. Great post! I love Madonna, and her music. “Confessions” is one of her best records to-date, in my opinion, and I’m anxiously awaiting the release of her next sometime later this year.

    “Future Lovers” is, indeed, a great track! I love that she opened her last concert with it, and sampled Donna Summers’ “I Feel Love.”

    By the way, the lyric is “In the evidence of its brilliance,” on the song.

  5. I really enjoy Madonna, she is beautiful and smart…she also is a great at marketing. I hope she’s out there for a long time…
