More on why forthcoming albums are worth getting excited about!!

Remember that other gush-y piece I did about how fantabulous the new Madonna album is going to be? Well lots of things have got me EVEN more excited about how good Confessions On A Dancefloor is going to be. Firstly there's the tracklist and producer credits which not only list long time tour buddy Stuart Price as key producer, but also good ol' Mirwais (who may be going out of favour with fans but still managed to produce some killer dance stuff with Madonna back in the ye olde times of 2001) and *collective gasp* Swedish pop producer supremos Bloodshy and Avant who've done almost every great Britney track of the last few years (including Toxic, Do Somethin' and Chaotic). Madonna was apparantely working very closely with the duo and I can't help but feel that she'll take them to a new level of brilliance that will make Toxic look rubbish (yes, I know, THAT good!!).
This isn't the only reason for celebration though, a post has appeared on some website that was then placed on the popjustice messageboard and it indicates even further why this could be such a potentially stunning release

if you don't believe me although needless to say this qoute will change your mind:
On the one hand it is very cheeky, referencing both her mid 80s dance material (Jellybean etc), as well as Abba (you all know about that one by now), The Jacksons ‘Can You Feel It’ (in the bass line of ‘Sorry’, the second single), ‘I Feel Love’ (in ‘Future Lovers’), as well as 70s/80s New Wave stuff (particularly the song ‘I Love New York’).But it’s also pretty intense.

There are plenty of "fuck you" lyics, not to mention spiritual ruminations a la Ray Of Light. The fact you don’t get time to breath from beginning to end also doesn’t help matters. But in a good way.


Doesn't it sound brilliant? How accurate this turns out to be is debateable but the prospect of a hard edged futuristic but also retro silly yet serious pop album from MADONNA is too amazing a prospect not to get excited about.

NEW BRITNEY SONGS!
I mentioned these in passing the other day but I managed to get MP3's of them at the weekend. 2 of the songs Chaotic and Mona Lisa I'd sort of heard before BUT one of the songs is stunning.
Over To You Know is possibly the best thing she's ever done all futuristic one second but oddly 80's ish the next. It's what I want Confessions on a Dancefloor to sound like. It's shocking that this wasn't on In the Zone and dirge like The Hook Up was. It really is so good. Yes Worth buying the Britney and Kevin DVD for good.
