Listen Now: Madonna’s “Give Me All Your Love” Demo Has Leaked Posted: 08 Nov 2011 12:49 PM PST L-U-V MADONNA! Y-O-U, YOU WANNA? The full demo for Madonna‘s upcoming single “Give Me All Your Love” has just leaked. And guess what? I STILL LOVE IT! As I said when the first snippets premiered this morning, the song shares definite similarities with the bouncy ’60′s-tinged space-pop Nicole Morier penned for Britney (“Rock Me In,” “Mmm Papi”), as well as the dizzying delight of Madge’s 1999 single, “Beautiful Stranger.” That chorus is truly one massive ear-worm. Oh, and that dubstep-laden middle eight?! PERFECTION! While I was more than a little concerned about those lyrics on paper–err, Internet, they totally work here–even that chant! L-U-V! Madonna! And yes, I know the lyrics are still pretty silly (note: silly, not desperate), but they bring an old school Madge to mind–a fun pop star. While I L-I-V-E for Erotica/Ray Of Light-era Madonna as much as the next stan, I love me some celebratory Madonna-era Madonna all the same. I mean, hello–there’s even a “Lucky Star” reference! “Give Me All Your Love” may not exactly be a game-changer, it’s still a refreshing turn from the sweat soaked Taio Cruz/David Guetta/LMFAO club-pop dominating Top 40 radio today (which isn’t to shade the genre–well, LMFAO can be shaded–but let’s face it, we could use a little break.) It’s fun. It’s fresh. It’s a thoroughly modern Madonna…and all without trying too hard! Yay! While I know not everyone will be pleased (for you, there’s a GIF) I think I can speak for a lot of anxious Madonna fans like myself when I say (after a long sigh): THIS IS SUCH A FUCKING RELIEF! QUEEN OF POP REMAINS QUEEN OF POP.

Listen to the First Leaked Clips of Madonna’s New Single, “Give Me All Your Love” Posted: 08 Nov 2011 09:32 AM PST STOP EVERYTHING IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE BECAUSE LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. In the grand tradition of all of Madonna‘s lead singles, the leaks have officially begun. (!!!!!!) Below are the first two MQ/LQ clips from Madonna‘s upcoming Martin Solveig-produced single, “Give Me All Your Love,” courtesy of my besties at Hard Candy Music. And just as fans suspected from the recordings outside her London home from July, this is indeed one and the same song! So how is it? Well, I love it so far! The beat reminds me of “Beautiful Stranger” with its swinging ’60′s appeal, or even some of Britney‘s bouncy space-pop with Nicole Morier (“Rock Me In”, “Mmm Papi”). I majorly approve! I already feel a zillion times better than when I heard “Candy Shop” for the first time. (GULP!) It’s more in her element, it’s more appropriate, and most excitingly of all, it isn’t a sound on the radio right now. Now come on and bring us the full song already, Madge! Madonna’s began recording for her upcoming twelfth studio album on July 4. According to producer William Orbit, the final record will be mastered at the end of this month. “Give Me All Your Love” is the lead single from Madonna’s upcoming twelfth studio album. (iTunes)

MuuMuse Approved: Drake – Take Care (feat. Rihanna) Posted: 08 Nov 2011 07:30 AM PST Just one year after releasing the sizzling “What’s My Name?” in October of 2010, Drake and Rihanna have teamed up once again for another incredible collaboration: “Take Care,” the Jamie XX (The XX)-produced lead single off of Drake’s upcoming studio album of the same name. Though his most popular tunes tend to be big, bossy rap tracks like “Over” and “Headlines,” Drake truly proves himself a true innovator with his unique brand of spook-R&B, including the masterfully moody “Marvin’s Room” from earlier this year (which resulted in JoJo‘s own cover of the song, otherwise known as one of the greatest songs of the year.) Now the Canadian rapper/crooner has done it once again–this time with RiRi’s help. And Gil Scott-Heron. “I know you been hurt by someone else, I can tell by the way you carry yourself,” the Barbadian princess gently sings. The lyrics come courtesy of “I’ll Take Care Of You,” written by the late jazz-soul poet who died earlier this year. Underneath Ri’s vocals, the song bursts with gentle disco pulsations and piano melodies, as if briefly sampling a taste of Hercules & Love Affair…or more appropriately, The XX. After all, “Take Care” also samples producer Jamie XX’s own remix of “I’ll Take Care Of You” as featured on 2011′s We’re New Here, a remix album based on Scott-Heron’s 2010 record, I'm New Here. Just as with Rihanna’s feature on Coldplay‘s upcoming Mylo Xyloto single “Princess of China,” “Take Care” finds Rihanna singing in a way she hasn’t really explored before. But whereas her Coldplay collabo found RiRi pushing herself to emotional new heights, “Take Care” finds the singer experiencing all-time levels of sexy–sensuously purring above the minimal beats. Pounding drum patterns soon break up the beats and pour into the mix, bringing to mind the gorgeous bleakness of Kanye West‘s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (especially considering West’s own sample of Scott-Heron in “Who Will Survive in America”), and even Rihanna’s own “The Last Song” off of Rated R. Once Drake takes command of his own song, the drums beat harder as his rhymes grow progressively faster. “When you’re ready, just say you’re ready/When all the baggage just ain’t as heavy,” Drake tenderly croons back at one point during his verse. It’s gorgeous, haunting and largely unforgettable: This is next level hip-hop. At this point, there’s no denying the spark of magic between the two: Come for the chemistry, stay for the lasting chills. Take Care will be released on November 15. (iTunes)
