\"Madonna\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last night the music blogosphere went nutzoid for the new Madonna<\/strong> track “Give Me All Your Love” <\/strong>which made it’s way across the web so virally that in less than 24 hours, you already feel like it’s old news.  Well, I’ve had a chance to listen to it this morning and the verdict…it’s “alright”.<\/p>\n

Whenever her royal highness releases new music, you expect it to be nothing bu groundbreaking.  That’s the level of perfection that we expect from Madonna <\/strong>– that’s why we call her the queen of pop.  “Give Me All Your Love” <\/strong>is outright a sign of the times which will undoubtedly be a hit, but it’s certainly not among her best work. <\/p>\n

Yes, we know that Madonna<\/strong> is still trying to be down with the kids in her urban Hard Candy<\/strong> attempts and it’s no secret that her eventual reworking of “Give Me All Your Love”<\/strong> will feature the vocal stylings of Nicki Minaj<\/strong>, but I ask you – is that really what you want?  Wouldn’t you rather have the musical greatness of “Ray Of Light” <\/strong>once again instead of a trendy dubstep middle eight mixed with an obvious and clever re-working of “Mickey”<\/strong> by Toni Basil<\/strong>?  <\/p>\n

I’m not slamming Madonna <\/strong>– I still will pay top dollar to see her perform and I’ll even spin the new single in my DJ sets, but with “Give Me All Your Love”<\/strong> I feel for the first time in her amazing career, she is trying to keep up with the times rather than be the global trendsetter she once was. <\/p>\n

So in review – a more “middle of the road” opinion for a “middle of the road” song.  But having said that, I’m already finding myself whistling the tune in head, so extra points for being catchy.<\/p>\n
