Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Apparently there's nothing in Kabbalah that disallows sweaty, head-spinningly good dance music, because here comes a flame-haired Madonna hawking a dozen songs' worth: Confessions on a Dance Floor darts seamlessly from Madge's early days, when she emerged as the genre's enduring darling, through the political, kiddie, and acoustic pap that drove a wedge between her and early adopters of the fingerless glove look.

Songs like the pop-leaning "Jump" and first single "Hung Up"--an adrenaline drip on high that, like many of these tracks, will inspire mild shame among those who've thrilled to the much thinner disco-dusted outpourings of younger divas recently--represent both a return to form and an unmistakable march into the future. "Get Together" is a sonic freak-out in the best sense; "Push" traffics in gut-level futuristic trance; and "Forbidden Love" loops in '80s blips and bleeps for a follow-me-into-the-past effect that's both neo and retro.

For all the image-affirming innovations here, though, these confessions find Madonna framed in her share of reflective moments too. "Was it all worth it/How did I earn it?" she asks on "How High," a song featuring vocoder. "Nobody's perfect/I guess I deserve it," comes the answer.

A later lyrical inquiry is left for the listener to judge: "Does this get any better?" Madonna wants to know. But that opens the door to a dizzying proposition--few of us would have guessed, after all, that it got this good. --Tammy La Gorce

Product Description:
Destined to be one of the records of the year, Confessions On A Dance Floor is the eagerly anticipated new album from Madonna. Effortlessly addictive and relentlessly energetic, Madonna reinvents dance music once again with 12 stunning new tracks under the realm of ‘future disco’ – all seamlessly segued in a classic dance club format.

Recorded in London, Confessions On A Dance Floor was primarily written and produced by Madonna and Stuart Price - the British musical director behind 2002’s "Drowned World" and last summer’s "Reinvention" tour.

While Madonna’s music is often both ethereal and political, Confessions On A Dance Floor is sheer, absolute discotheque. "I want people to jump out of their seats," she says. "My record is about having a good time straight through and non-stop."

"This is music that just comes very naturally to her," says Grammy Award-winning Price. "The songs flowed very quickly. Madonna was very interested in capturing the moment because, when all is said and done, it’s that instinctive joy of rhythm and movement that comes across best on the dance floor." Madonna and Stuart Price co-produced the album together with contributions from Henrik Jonback and the Grammy Award-winning team Bloodshy & Avant. Mirwais Ahmadzai, who produced Madonna’s last two albums American Life and Music, has co-written two new songs and co-produced one track. Other collaborators include Anders Bagge and Peer Astrom of the Murlyn Music Collective and Jo Henry whose previous credits include "Don’t Tell Me".

Description:
Follow-up to 2003's American Life from pop-queen Madonna. Co-written and primarily co-produced by Madonna and Stuart Price, the album was recorded in London. Experimenting with anarray of electronic dance beats and samples, this offering strays away from her usual straight pop sound. The single 'Hung Up' is included.

- SHE'S GOOD FOR HER AGE.....not!!!
It comes as no surprise that Madonna gets the retarded media to focus on her looks in ratio to her age. Basically, she and all her output are so shallow you couldn't even splash around in it/her - now there's a nasty image!! This over hyped album is YET another yawn fest of insincere, musically cliched (as in done to death already and done miles better than this!)anodyne trash masquerading as state of the art.....Give it a rest you old rip off merchant! Leave us in peace and let a real musician have the space your're bulemically gorging up!

- Just One Try, That's All It Takes!
This album is the cure for any person who feels down or just in need of a highly energetic funky disco rush. The dance ambiance is on high gear smashingly going from track to track non-stop --no pauses or breaks. It's about leaving your worries behind, forgetting your problems, and experiencing something completely different!

Hung Up, Get Together, Sorry, and Jump are definite stand-out tracks with much catchy infectious grooves sure to satisfy. The other tracks are excellent enough to be singles as well. Let It Will Be is a fabulous track of letting things take their course and just letting go as destiny takes care of your worries. Push is a song she did for her husband Guy Ritchie expressing how his love helps her reach greater heights ... Read More:

- Are you ready to Jump?
On "How High?" she questions "Does this get any better?".

The short answer is: No.
No, it doesn't.

With its predecessor being the acoustic introspection of "American Life", "Confessions on a Dance Floor" is a complete polarity. A "non-stop, all dance, tour-de-force", complete with Kabbalistic lyrics, seamless mixing and choruses more triumphant than an Ayn Rand hero.

Beginning with the ticking of a clock and lyrics such as "those who run seem to have all the fun", "Hung Up", is a dance anthem on par with "Vouge" and "Deeper and Deeper". Easily her most commercial single since the very early 90's, it overtakes the famous ABBA sample and quite literally turns it into its own. Its breakdown into angelic electronica ... Read More:
