Homage to a falling star
I’ll give you some hints on who I’m talking about; She’ll be 50 next year and she’s not a virgin although she claimed she wanted to be treated as one back in the early 80′s. Yeah I’m talking about Madonna, who used to be on top of what she was doing and always came up with fresh stuff, not sure if it’s because she’s getting old or not but she lost what ever it was she had before.
The Ray Of Light track came out somewhere around the same time I started DJing back in 98 when I was a lot into harder styles of electronic music.
And when she dropped the Music record back in 2k she really got me interested in the French electro underground and I re-discovered Mr. Oizo who dropped flat beat the year before. And when she dropped the American Life and Confessions On A Dancefloor records she had once again found new blood to feed the mainstream.
But what the f*ck is she doing now?
Why would someone who always been ahead of her time use producers from last year, or even last decade? The only reason I can imagine is that she’s getting old and has developed a poor music ear. Just like most parents(I’m not talking about my dad) they’re known for not knowing much about modern music or even getting it at all. And that’s probably what’s up with Madonna, she’s too old and can’t keep up with the times so she does like everyone else with poor ideas: hire Timbaland or the Neptunes. That’s not even funny, it’s disgusting!
