Don't worry Jimmy Jimmy, I see your legs twitching with anticipation.
I love your user name. The way I see it is even if in the end people don't like some of the songs, there will plenty of other tracks to love.
You have no idea! Hahahah
I'm trying to hide it but I'm seriously freaking out internallly.

He has also worked with Beyonce and Alicia Keys and has co-written a lot of great songs and massive hits. He co-wrote Untouched by the Veronicas which I have always loved. I think he and Madonna will make some great music. Remember when people were upset when Madonna was working with David Foster. Then when they heard "You'll See" they loved it. Madonna always brings her own vision and style to the table. I am sure she will do this with all of the producers she is working with as always and something for us all to look forward to.
I'm 99% sure they're going to come up with something good
I'm just a bit anxious after GMAYL, TUTR, B-day Song, you know?

For fucks sake, stop repeating a bunch of speculation and exaggeration like its a fact!
There is absolutely no confirmation she shot any album artwork and just because fucking diplo (?!) says something about a single in a stupid interview three months ago it's gospel? Did it ever come out of madonna's mouth?! Has anyone ever made plans and then changed them after?
However I have to agree that looking at Toby Gad's writing/production discography was quite an unpleasent experience. Hannah Montana, One Direction, Carly Rae Jepsen, Selena Gomez, Big Time Rush, Drake Bell...lord let's pray his songs aren't going to be too Disney hahaha
Oh, he's German? Lol.

ROL got the epic Roxy : Sky Fits Heaven, Shanti & ROL
Still can't believe we have absolutely no recording of that! -
Ugh these LAP shots are fucking gorgeous!
-
Not that cheap-ass Lil' Kim redux!
For fuck's sake...can't she let go of collaborations already and release an album without vocal support of all these flops?
She's not Mariah Carey! She doesn't need them! Her vocal collaborations have proven to be her worst songs ever!

See jazzyjan's post.I heard it once. Never again.

OMG the iconic LAP shoot!
AAAAHHHHHHHH FINALLY! I'm dying for YCD/Japanese Ad outtakes!

Don't contaminate this thread with that other track from COADF.
-
Can anyone please enlighten me on what's to hate about this song? I can't find any flaws, really. I mean people consider this her worst eventhough songs like B-day Song, Superstar and Don't Stop exist.
-
No thank you. I don't think she's tired of that inner conversation either. She's simply singing LAP vs. Every Breath You Take.
And Hung Up is Love Song vs. Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight). COADF is a self-referential and reflective album.
-
This is the real deal.
-
I don't like this song. I always pass when I hear COADF.
Me too.
Um...this is actually an appreciation thread, but okay...

Push getting love. I thought this would never happen! Thx so much guys...I can die happy now.

Not only is this my favorite song from COADF but it is my second favorite Madonna OF ALL TIME. Second to Frozen.
Let me start with my first listening. I was visiting my family in the US, from London, when COADF was released. I was contemplating getting a divorce from my, then, husband. I had a lot to think about and a million thoughts going through my head. It was one of the toughest times in my life. Also, I was having a fabulous time with my family and really re-connecting with them. The two songs that really stood out for me and helped me with my decision where Jump and Push. I label Jump as my 'divorce song' to this day. My whole life I've had a problem with striving to be the best I could be. My father continued to remind at every corner that I was never good enough. That has stayed with me until adulthood. Push describes my feelings towards this subject. Madonna has managed to write a song that scripts a conversation with herself. I finally realized, after forty-odd years, that it's not my dad pushing me to be the best...it's me!
Let's get to the actual structure of the song...
It starts teasing in with a cord progression of D.C.E.D. (I could be wrong). This style is an example of classic 80's techno (for lack of a better example). The sustained vocals in the beginning are continued on through-out the whole song. (I noticed that when I first heard it). It's obviously influenced from classic Indian music with its use of sustained pitch and Tanpura (Isaac does this too). How genius is that? A fusion of techno with ancient Southwest Asian!!!!
The song is slightly purposely miss-tuned. This is what makes the song pure art. The whole song is out of tune!! Again, genius! It resembles The Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows and Led Zeppelin - Kashmir. The same idea was used here. Then, BAM!, the chorus completely changes tempo and shift. Life a knife in the heart. This is song writing at its best.
The lyrics...
Classic Madonna. She's having a conversation with herself. She's pushing herself to strive to be the best she can be. It's a silent killer. (A lot like Robin Williams' agony). She cannot turn herself off. It's pure hell. The part where she sings "Keeeeep on puuushin', like no other"....she's tired. She wants to stop but she can't. You can hear that she's exhausted.
This song is not a love song. It's not a description of your "personal best". It's a confession. It's an anthem of sadness and struggle. A lifetime of force, drive and effort.
It's her personal Opus.
This is why I love this song so much.
....another Martini, please.
Mind = Blown

I want to dedicate my first thread to the mesmering and terribly underrated "Push". There's already been a few of us who have "outed" themselves as Push-fans but I think it's time we discuss this wonderful song and express our love for it in detail.
One thing I've always found fascinating about COADF in particular is that it seems like Madonna is paying tribute to herself, reflecting on her career and making several references to some of her earlier work. Mainly, Like a Prayer and the first album. I read somewhere that this song is a sequel to Borderline but I'm not sure if that's been confirmed somewhere. Hung Up clearly samples Love Song (very unexpected choice tbh) and Jump is pretty much a Keep It Together 2.0 while Get Together has a striking similarity to Holiday.
Push is quite different from the rest of the album, it's a mid-tempo song but features a more trip-hop production while the rest of the album is rather upbeat and EDM. I love the "Every Breath You Take" sample and the arabesque feel this song has. I think this song is a true gem and very different from what she's done before. From what I have experienced, people who are casual fans or non-fans really like this song and have complemented on it's production, while many fans on this forum seeem to have a great dislike for this song, which to this day is beyond me.

Well she's STILL tagging Miley and Perry in her IG posts....
Still a chance of some guest collaroators!?
YOU WISH!

She's about to surprise-launch the album
She's coming soon ...... with the iCLOUD
OMG! Madonna - The Whore of Instagram Tour (2015)

B minor is a music key... As far as I know "Burning Up", is the only Madonna song released to date that was written in the key of B minor - as opposed to "True Blue", "Justify My Love" and "I Fucked Up", which were all written in the key of B major.
If you watch the video below, you will hear what difference it makes when you reharmonize a song from a major key to a minor key:
OMG that sounds fantastic, so mystical and dark.What if B Minor is the actual album title and all the songs are written in that key?
-
Push is my personal favorite. I love Isaac but I'm not always in the mood to listen to it, but when I listen to Push, I skip to the end (of Isaac) to get the amazing intro.
Me too!!! I usually listen to the unmixed version, because rarely listen to albums all the way through, especially with iTunes giving me the opportunity to switch through my music library, but whenever I listen to the COADF that intro always gets me.
I think How High is the weakest track on COADF. I was surprised to learn that it's quite popular among MNationers.

It's time for a Push - Appreciation Thread!
Seriously never got the hate for it.

Having an Innovative Moment! Far From Ordinary CharlesRiley..#rebelheart
Did anyone notice that she's half blonde, half brunette in this pic?
CruelDonna is upon us. -
Thx for pointing that out. I was afraid to say it.I'm really surprised to see all the love for FUTURE LOVERS.
An average song in my opinion.
-
Yes
That version is superior to the album version
One of her greatest songs ever!
It made the top 10 of The Official MadonnaNation Top 40 back in 2013 at #9!!!! And Hung Up was only at #12! This proves that Get Together is the most loved song from the fantabulous COADf.
What about the Elimination Game, though?
Promo Tour?

I would love for Madonna to do a Good Morning America performance tbh. I mean imagine that!
I really think that the Superbowl was what had caused the promo to be sort of cut short. Guy O has said himself, hasn't he? Anyway...I think and hope that won't be the case this era. I mean whether she tours early or later on in the era won't matter. She'll sell enough tickets nevertheless and if the lead single and maybe the second single do well she might even sell more than she did for MDNA.
