Attention all Madonna fans! “Revolver” (featuring Lil’ Wayne) was released today. The track is part of Madonna’s new greatest hits collection, Celebration. The song is incredibly addicting. When I first heard that Madonna was going to team up with Lil’ Wayne, I was worried. Mainly because Lil’ Wayne is disgusting…but I really like this track. Madonna sounds sexy, and the rhythm is cool. I think what carries the song is the killer lyrics (pun intended).
“Line ‘em up. Knock ‘em down. My looks can kill. My body’s fully loaded. And I got more ammo. You’re an accessory to murder ’cause…My love’s a revolver. My sex is a killer. Do you wanna die happy ? Do you wanna die happy?”
I do miss the old Madonna though. Her songs used to feel important. Every new album she puts out seems to lose the edge she once had. It was her edge that made me fall in love with her. I’m not saying I don’t love her new stuff, but honestly, Hard Candy was trying too hard. I keep waiting for a new Madonna song that totally blows me away, and it hasn’t happened since Die Another Day. Sure this new song will top the charts, but for the wrong reasons. Madonna seems to be giving in to mainstream fads, i.e. 4 Minutes with Justin Timberlake. In a marketing sense, the new greatest hits album is brilliant. The song Celebration was made for the European audiences, and Revolver was added to rope in American listeners. Celebration topped the charts in Europe, but failed for the most part in America. Revolver is guaranteed radio play and will appeal to new younger listeners, generating sells throughout the holiday season. Obviously Madonna is good at comebacks and ‘reinventions’ so she could be outplaying everyone again in a year or two. Everyone knows it will never be over for her until she says so because face it… she’s Madonna. As a die hard fan, I will die happy, but only because I will be listening to “Holiday” when I do.
