The absolutely original sound of her latest album, Music, is likely to have a massive influence upon the music of the future - because everybody has to keep pace with Madonna, and not the other way round, as it is commonly and mistakenly believed - but also upon the music videos, fashion, and style. Obviously, Madonna is determined to innovate and also change her rhythm. "The wolrd is dominated by dolls that sing. Nobody really cares anymore, except from several (actually, quite a few) artists endowed with consciousness and musical talent. Everything is homogenous and uniform", she said upon release of her single "Music", composed and mixed in cooperation with the ultimate (and excellent, too!) music sensation Mirwais Ahmadzai from France (also the case with the songs Impressive Instant, I Deserve It,  Nobody’s Perfect,  Paradise (Not for Me), and Don’t Tell Me).

Besides the now well-known single Music (try it loud too, in a populated neighbourhood ;-), released on August 21st, you have to dance on Runaway Lover (which is going to roll many carpets at parties) and Amazing (which reminds of the very successful single Beautiful Stranger), both produced in cooperation with the reputed William Orbit (also used by Madonna for her previus album, “Ray of Light”). 

Nobody’s Perfect and Paradise (Not for Me) are my favourites, as they are so incredibly sad - Madonna is over forty now, mother of two kids, with a past that overwhelms her and that he has to ignore in order to continue to be herself - and, still, full of hope. 

The album Music doen not privide music for all tastes. One has to be young at heart, prejudice-free, eager to listen, accept, and eventually love - the music, the style, the rhythm, which cannot be categorised in a certain genre. 

Madonna dixit – “If my album is going to be successful, this means that the world has been something else in terms of music.” She seems to be right…
