Madonna returns with REBEL HEART, an album produced less than previous where we find a good proportion of ballads ... The single, excellent LIVING FOR LOVE dance anthem beautifully defended by the star however did not shine quite high in the charts, and that's unfortunate. Wait to see this title on stage !! Wish Ghosttown, next single to be released in radio and to perpetuate the album in the world rankings. The album oscillates between effective titles as powerful HOLD TIGHT very intimate and title to the image of the sublime ballad WASH ALL OVER ME JOAN OF ARC or where Madonna shows vulnerable as ever. INSIDE OUT or BEST NIGHT (GNI suave atmosphere for this title bewitching) are still ballads or mid-tempo very catchy, Besides, the charm of this record and made the connection, it is the voice of Madonna, is meant with fewer filters than MDNA (which had its share of good titles), in the image of MESSIAH magnique more symphonic title. Overall the melodies are good too ... A delicious UFO on this album: BODY SHOP surprises in style. Other UFO, summery reggae Title BITCH unapologetic, very successful. There are also urban tracks like ICONIC where Mike Tyson appears ... A small handful of titles I like less like Illuminati, HOLY WATER ... a little whiff of rock ADDICTED ... there's something for everyone ! DEVIL PRAY, obvious choice for the single suite has a small country side, yet remains one of the most electro songs. Overall, it is therefore a rather sober and calm album, with some urban touches here and there (include here the merry BITCH I'M MADONNA) ... Truly a pop album, with very different registers but very often the effectiveness of Madonna songs we like ... Madonna continues her journey still being herself, provocative or not, it is she who decides. She will rebel and will continue to chart its way to our delight ... REBEL HEART title where she turns on her course is subtly nostaligique and playful. The queen is gonna carry on !!
