Guest whatatramp Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I never listened to the leaked LFL so when I first listened to the official version I about had a heart attack, so fucking good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Jan Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 This song is an ultimate grower. I liked it when I first heard it but now I absolutely love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollhouse Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 will be a big hit so many can relate to it 90's revival, diblo added some acid house beats too..remember "big fun" and "pump up the jam"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vocalism Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I think the Diblo version is some sort of butchered radio edit, I mean the demo is 1 minute longer.. I thought the same thing, but would they release a radio edit with the pre-order? I suspect when they decided to release it as the first single they just shortened it. Both versions have their virtues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butter9 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 This song is amazing in everyway for me . It's just THE Madonna's single I have been waiting for . I'd been reading on other forum ( don't worry I rinsed my eyeballs with Dettol afterwards ) that fans were saying that it's so generic and GMAYL was so much better cos it was MORE FUN ! I assume that they are all deaf . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zephyralexxx Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 My favorite part and the voice in this part I could get caught up in bitternessBut I'm not dwelling on this crazy messI found freedom in the ugly truthI deserve the best and it's not youYou've broken my heart, but you can't bring it downThat have fallen apart, what was lost, now I'm foundI picked up my crown, put it back on my headI can forgive, but I will never forget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayGuy Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Tracking systems are wise to those "repeat" devices. I'm listening to it on Spotify (a non-paying subscriber; I don't know if it counts for charts or not). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 It's my favorite lead single since "Music." Even though I firmly believe radio is ageist and won't play it, I will say this. If her label buys time for one play per hour the first day like they did for GMAYL, I can see the public living it and possibly requesting it in the days after.

Shane Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Also: Madonna is the only singer who can invest things like "up up up up" and a bunch of "mmmmms" with so much meaning and emotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titty Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 The "up up up up" is the highlight of the track. I'd like more of them and looking forward to the mixes. Great that Capitol have added in, not sure if R1 will play it, R2 should play it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braby Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 If Capital are playing it once every few hours, there's no reason why Radio 1 can't at least add it to their C-list. Capital didn't play anything from MDNA so if they can ignore age and play it, Radio 1 should too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 from billboard interview I want to talk about the album’s first single, "Living For Love," specifically. We had Diplo on the cover of Billboard a few months ago. He was saying that (the song) had 20 different incarnations. Was he exaggerating by saying 20, or is that true?Uhm… (long pause). Twenty might a little too high. But definitely more than 10. A lot of different versions. We knew we wanted to make a dance record. But you know, there's so many different levels of dance music and even different categories of house music. So, it was really like, what's the bass line gonna sound like? Is it gonna be really stripped down and sparse, or is it going to be loaded up? Is it gonna be Chicago house? Is it gonna be U.K. house? It's like, all over the place. Is it gonna be a little bit of one vocal line? Is it gonna be a whole choir singing? So we were experimenting and trying out different things. They all sounded good, but at the end of the day, we wanted it to sound timeless, also. Not just something of the moment. Is that MNEK on the track as well?The thing is, we did do a version where MNEK is singing. The original song, when we first started writing it, was with a singer that Diplo works with all the time…who sounds like MNEK. So, there will be remixes with MNEK's voice on it, but this particular one that's out right now (does not have MNEK). And then there's a female singer whose name is Annie, is from the U.K. as well, who sings with the (London Community Gospel Choir), and she also lended her voice to the record. And by the way, I'm a huge fan of MNEK. I thought it Alicia Keys was singing on the song with you. But I was wrong, it's not Alicia Keys.Oh no, Alicia Keys isn't singing on it, she's playing piano on it. Oh! Okay. Geez, good grief. It's so hard to keep track.I know! (Laughs.) Alicia plays the piano, and then the female voice is Annie… there are versions of "Living For Love" that MNEK is singing on, and those will be coming out, but just not yet. It has that right balance of soul music meeting house music. It's the right blend of the two, where you were able find the right balance, where it doesn't sound jarring. It actually sounds like it's meant to go together.It's kind of like the old me and the new me all mixed in together. It's all you! It's all versions of you.Yeah, exactly. Yeah!
