Madonna reveals standard edition cover for "M.D.N.A." and unleashes LMFAO remix, flaws remain nowhere to be found

Above is the newly-revealed cover for Madonna's new album M.D.N.A. While last week we got to see the cover for the deluxe edition of the album this week we get this glorious piece of artwork. A masterpiece, if you will.

While last week's cover was beyond amazing, everything I could have ever wished for, really, this cover is just everything+more! The red dress and gloves are looking bawm, that tube-like reflection that was seen in last week's cover is seen in this one as well, except from farther away, but most of all Madonna is looking amazing! This should come as no shock, but I still become surprised at how great she looks.

That pose right there beats all three "Give Me All Your Luvin'" poses put together.

This is why she is the queen, plain and simple.

Also, check out the LMFAO remix of her new single.

 

This remix takes the peppy production of the Martin Solveig-produced track and turns it into a club jam. It really is amazing how much these boys can do with remixes. Minaj remains in the track, M.I.A., however is out en lieu of the boys of LMFAO. Well, how courteous.

The cheer leader chant is even better on this version of the track than on the original. It is a big statement to make, but the music truly speaks for itself. This remix has an amazing energy completely different from the original song, but still great. I truly am torn between which version I like the most because both are just so good. Just give this song a listen even if you don't like LMFAO and I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

That breakdown! Ugh!

What do you think about Madonna's new album cover? What do you think of the LMFAO remix, does it measure up to the original? Comments greatly appreciated, I want to hear your opinions!

Madonna premiers video for Minaj and M.I.A.-aided single "Give Me All Your Luvin'"

This has got to be Madonna's most fun music video.

The music video opens with Madonna coming out (she pushed the door down!) of a perfect, cookie-cutter house out into a perfect, cookie-cutter neighborhood while pushing a black baby stroller. Then, oh no! The local varsity football team is on the loose at Wysteria Lane! But fear not, Miss Madge is friends with them (who knew?). They take out a big orange road block sign for her! And then, oh hey! it's Nicki Minaj or Roman Zolanski and M.I.Am.A.Middle-Eastern.Rapper.And.I'm.Proud.Of.It.A!

The fearsome threesome walk for a little bit until it, like, starts raining gold. Like literally, liquid gold rains over Madonna. Must be the tears of the angels at looking how great she look at 52! Quickly, the football team runs towards her with open umbrellas to shield her from the rain of gold (it makes your hair frizz) and even put their letterman jackets on top of puddles of gold as Madonna walks by very "oh yeah, thanks boys, whatever."

Madonna is sporting a gorgeous blonde 'do in this video, but what's more is when she takes of her khaki-colored trench-coat she's wearing an amazing, legless black outfit. To. Die. For.

Then the football players effortlessly pull a taxi in half so Madonna can walk by uninterrupted by its presence! These scenes in the utopian neighborhood are intercut with scenes of Madge in a beautiful black getup, wearing a giant gold cross and strutting her stuff like she's a 20-year-old.

Then she does something that your faves could never: she has the football players lift her up and she walks sideways on a wall. Not only does she do this, but she looks flawless while doing so. It's just too much.

After that the song's two featured artists appear with some anime mask-wearing cheerleaders. Miss Minaj is wearing a stunning red, white, and red dress and playing with her pom-poms (not like that) while M.I.A. wears a cool-looking letterman jacket and cheers along effortlessly. The girls join Madonna as she walks down a red carpet and later veers off into a sketchy-looking alley. This can't be good.

And it's not! Some random music hater pulls up in his car and starts shooting Madonna! But does she notice? No, not at all. She continues and strolls, sings the lyrics to her song while numerous football players throw themselves and take many bullets for her. They were benchwarmers anyway. Then, Madge finds a giant pile of football players and decides to climb them, and lo and behold there's a door to a super secret club that she somehow manages to get into (there's not even a bouncer?).

But before that, something amazing happens. Madonna pretends to breastfeed a baby doll. It's amazing. You must watch it.

But back to the club, she goes through the door and emerges on the other side wearing... an outfit that looks like the one she wore in the "Vogue" music video and she also has a curly, blonde wig and so do Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. and they all kinda do a little dance and you totally die during it so watch it  three times to get the full effect!!

Nicki raps her verse and looks all sorts of amazing, then Madonna sings her little bridge part while doing a robot-esque dance, and while M.I.A. does her thing Madonna totally steals the show by winking, throwing kisses, and looking seductively into the camera. What can you do, it's Madonna. Do you see how far she bends right there? Your faves...never.

After than Madonna effortlessly falls as countless muscly, footballer arms try effortlessly to catch her till she reaches the bottom, and two very efficient quarterbacks run through a wall to catch the queen.

Then all three of the girls get on a stage and dance and rave outdoors with all the football players and cheerleaders a whole high school district could ever dream to have.

And it's all flawless.

That is all.

Madonna releases carelessly fun "Give Me All Your Luvin'" featuring Nicki Minaj & M.I.A.

It's finally here. Madonna's first single from "M.D.N.A." was released to iTunes exclusively at 6 AM, and like a lot of people, here I was at 6, joyfully bouncing in my seat as the download progress bar filled up with that dark gray color: I was seconds away from getting all of Madonna's luvin'!

It must be stated that the official single mix doesn't differ much from the demo that leaked last year. The production is obviously fine-tuned and Nicki Minaj and M.I.A.'s vocals are added in, but other than that the structure of the song doesn't change. This is no "E.T." situation.

With that being said, "Give Me All Your Luvin'" is not Madonna's best single. It is, however, her most blatantly fun. While in past 2000-era singles like "Hung Up" or "4 Minutes" (if you have not heard these songs, look them up for your own well-being) Madonna sang in a sexy, concealed manner, in this track Madonna returns to what first made her famous. The flirty, honest, and downright fun vocal performance she lays on the track she and Martin Solveig produced is reminiscent of her older material. And when I say old, I mean old as in "Holiday" and "Like A Virgin."

"I hear you comin' and I don't wanna know your name," Madonna sings in a soft, friendly voice during the track's first verse. Her flirtatious vocals are intercut with the soon-to-be-legendary "L-U-V Madonna" and "Y-O-U You wanna?" cheerleader-esque chants delivered by none other than Miss Minaj and M.I.A.

"Don't play those stupid games 'cause I'ma different kind of girl. Every record sounds the same you've gotta step into my world," Madonna sings in the chorus or pre-chorus (technically it could be both) when the song's care-free production is at its best. There are soft-hitting synthesizer beats, winding synths, and those delicious bass strums in a frenzy behind Madonna's lush vocals.

The chorus is a clear kick-back to 80's: "Give me all your luvin', give me your love. Give me all your love today," Madonna sings backed by some retro-sounding production. It's almost euphoric.

After the second chorus one starts to wonder: "Are Nicki and M.I.A. just here to be cheerleaders?"

But then, in place of the vocal breakdown in the song's demo is a brand-new verse by the Harajuku Barbie herself. "I'm Roman. I'm a barbarian, I'm Conan. You was sleepin' on me, you was dozin'. Now move! I'm gonin'" she effortlessly raps. Although in my opinion her verse is too short, this performance by Minaj should be ranked among her best collabs. Such a great rapperette!

After that comes Madonna's bridge (same as in the demo) and then M.I.A. comes in. Her laid-back rapping style is such a contrast to Nicki's overzealous rapping style. "It's supersonic, bionic, uranium hit" she says during her verse. It's far from "Paper Planes" and closer to "XXXO."

Then Madonna comes back for another ecstatic, cheerleader-aided chorus and goes out with a bang!

I love this song because it's so unapologetically fun unlike most of the stuff on the radio. This song will definitely be bringing Madonna back to the top of the charts again. And throwing in Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. didn't hurt either.

"Give Me All Your Luvin'" was released on iTunes Feb. 3

Madonna reveals "M.D.N.A." tracklisting, remains controversial

Madonna is everywhere. She was interviewed on "Anderson," her music video preview premiered just a few hours ago on "American Idol" and now she's released the tracklisting for her twelfth album "M.D.N.A." And let's just say I have quite a few comments/predictions about it.

1) Girls Gone Wild: This song title is extremely promising. What could a 52-year-old possibly have to say about going wild? Will it be a reminiscent track or a party one? I'm going for a song about the 21st century 50-somethings.

2) Gang Bang: Seriously? Is this like a symbolic "gang bang"? Like getting attacked by the paparazzi or being constantly the center of attention? Possibly...or it could be a song about a girl who gets gang-banged.

3) I'm Addicted: Drugs or love? Intrigue building.

4) Some Girls: Maybe she's talkin's smack to all those rich girls with no humility? Or those man-stealers?

5) I Don't Give A: This is probably gonna be one of those club-bangers. Madonna's gonna just party and party and party 'cuz she doesn't give a...

6) Turn Up The Radio: Oh this song, I just have a feeling, is gonna make a reference to a past song of hers.I can just feel it!

7) Give Me All Your Luvin': Well we all know and love this song already. Can't wait till tomorrow morning when I can hear the studio version in full!

8) B-day Song: I really hope this is to Madonna what "Birthday Cake" is to Rihanna. Because if so it's going to be ah-mazing.

9) Superstar: This could either be a story about how Madonna is a superstar, or about how a certain someone is a superstar in the eyes of Madonna. Either way, I predict a ballad.

10) I'm A Sinner: Ooh, this one is hard to read. It could be about all the nasty things Madge has done, or maybe a song of repentance. To God or to an old lover? Hmm..I'll marinate on this.

11) Masterpiece: This song is amazing. I really have not stopped listening to it. Love it so much. Madonna & Orbit = Dream Team.

12) Falling Free: I predict some guitar riffs infused into this song one way or another.

13) Love Spent: I foresee a pensive track about how Madonna wasted her time and love on Guy Ritchie, her ex-husband.

14) I F*cked Up: This sounds like a really big pop banger to me. It's going to include some really good beats, and a very catchy chorus. I can already hear it...

15) Beautiful Killer: Out of all the songs, it's this one I can't wait to hear it. The fact that it has such a good title and that it's the last song is a def omen to a great song.

I would like to go on the record and say that your faves could never come up with such an amazing tracklisting. Never.

Also, something to ponder: "Give Me All  Yout Luvin'" doesn't say "feat. Nicki Minaj and M.I.A." which leads to the obvious question: does Madonna eat pork?

Just kidding: are there any other features on this album?

I don't think so, sadly. But I can still hope.

Watch the "American Idol" preview of Madonna's"Give Me All Your Luvin'"

EDIT: updated with high quality rip.

My brain is literally molten from all amazingness. All I can say is...

Madonna: lookin' fine, gurl

Nicki Minaj: as a cheerleader...whydidn'tanybodythinkofthisbefore?

M.I.A.: hotter than I thought

Newly-Recorded Hook: as much as I loved Madonna herself singing "L-U-V Madonna" I love it even more with M.I.A. & Nicki Minaj's polished vocals.

New Instrumentation: Nothing especially new as far as this preview shows. I do think, however, that the dubstep-y bridge is gonna be mayjah!

Theme: the football-theme seemed odd to me at first but I have now been corrected by Madge, it's nerdy goodness!

Sideways Walking: your faves <<< Madonna

Can't Wait For: The verses by M.I.A. and her Minajesty!

EDIT: Just realized those cheerleaders are wearing masks in the style of "V For Vendetta." Amazing.
