Finally Madonna has overcome the phase of emulation current pop starlet, she needs it in any way. The youth of today already has its own stars, and so Madonna seems to reflect on their past and provides fans with REBEL HEART for a classic pop album from. After the last two rather difficult studio albums of her, the music sounds here for the first time typical and unmistakable to Madonna.
The 19 songs will include a variety of different Stilanklänge which Madonna weaves perfectly with the music. And so here sounds much retro but at the same time modern and bubbly. For example, the 1st single LIVING FOR LOVE, such looseness I missed at Madonna long, they are the good danceable song orderly momentum and in the rousing melody is heard at last once again clearly her voice. Ever drop the computer edit vocals on this album most discreet and also the sound is not drowned out everything probably causing a lot of my enthusiasm. The reflection on classic pop sounds with some real instruments is fully to my taste. In the Computer box of tricks is then resorted only subtly, actually dosed perfectly in order that the songs the cool Pep and momentum that they have ultimately. Perfectly implemented, this is, for example, when HOLD TIGHT, INSIDE OUT and WASH ALL OVER ME.
Not entirely dispensed Madonna has on various rapper who me but mostly disturbed in previous albums with REBEL HEART. Here the gentlemen add however perfectly in the song, and so are titles like ICONIC and Veni Vidi Vici veritable Ohrkriecher.
Especially grown fond of me are so wonderful pop songs as GHOST TOWN, Joan of Arc and REBEL HEART that sound simple timeless and beautiful. Especially when the title song I have the feeling the Madonna of my youth to meet new again. In many places of the album of the balance between the traditional and modern is a perfect success. Remarkable also, which often borrows from its own long-standing creative Madonna as a complete text Part of VOGUE is sometimes fast woven (Holy Water), a complete song in the style of JUSTIFY MY LOVE produced (SEX) or a guitar sound in the style of DON ' T TELL ME used (REBEL HEART). So you can see similarities to many Madonna hits of the past, just everything was already there. But even that excited an old fan like me, musically seen his star right away again and not just bent beyond recognition.
Handsomely the artwork has become this CD. In the booklet there are many well-staged photos of the fictional character Madonna, which, however, hardly has something natural. Annoying the sentence on the back cover of the booklet: ". For credits and over information, go to Madonna.com", do you mean in the booklet is zero information to the album. No matter, the main thing the music fits and is terrific here succeeded.
