Early this morning, a low quality version of Madonna's song from the W.E. soundtrack has leaked. Been listening throughout the day and it reminds me of The Look of Love and To Have and Not To Hold's love child. I love it - what do you think? Tell me everything!
i am in love w/ it & u pud. it's all perfection. & it's just the demo. oscar better take gd notice!
ReplyDeleteI think it is a work of art. Touching. Those vocals are lush! Her voice has not changed in 20 years as evidenced by this LQ leak. Bravo, Madonna.
ReplyDeletei love it too guys! dying for the new album - BRING IT ALL ON - madonna!!!
ReplyDeleteall the different styles of music she's pumping out right now. reminds me of "playground" right b4 the "erotica" storm. so exciting man!!
ReplyDeleteI think it's fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI mean, this is the song that will show who her current fans are and who are not. Anyone who comes in here saying it isn't good obviously is off their rocker and should leave immediately and go listen to Gaga.
The song is amazing!
Does anyone else hear the borrowing from song "The Game" that she didn't release, but you can find it anywhere?
ReplyDeletebtw, I think this song is one of her best
ReplyDeleteit reminds me of "This Used To Be My Playground" for sure. Love it. Cant wait to hear the finished product
ReplyDeleteOscar nod!
ReplyDeleteThis is the finished product, just super low quality.
ReplyDeleteI love it. It's simple and beautiful. Love the lyrics and her voice is amazing.
ReplyDelete@Tony
I doubt this is the finished product.
The string arrangement here is not organic (it was played in the keyboards). She would never release a song like this, hoping to get an Oscar nod with keyboard orchestra.
Even in this low quality leak you can hear it was played in the keyboards. I am sure they added a real orchestra to the final song. Also, William Orbit said in October said on a tweet he was about to "record with an orchestra". I bet that recording session involved this song.
Anyway, it is a lovely song.
One word, AMAZING !
ReplyDeleteI just adore it. Her voice, the lyrics, everyting is amazing.
after listening to the song for at least 20 times,
ReplyDeleteI must say I hate the clicking urban sound in the background. It is destroying to the melody.
Is she deaf already?
I LOVE LINDA!
ReplyDeletelol@vb
ReplyDeleteAaaaand I'm too late to hear it because Guy "real fans wouldn't do that" Oseary has claimed it.
ReplyDeleteDamn. Well, can't wait for any of the new stuff shé putting out.
@sivan you can hear it here still http://idolator.com/6100542/madonna-unveils-her-masterpiece
ReplyDeletebest song since "live to tell". said done.
ReplyDeleteAmazing how her team fails to prevent leaks. One would have thought they would have learnt their lesson soon ...
ReplyDeleteball lick
ReplyDeleteGuy O. is an idiot.
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT! it's perfect for a movie theme but i'm not sure if i want it in the album. her vocals are stunning and the melody is amazing!
ReplyDeleteguess the final version will leave us speechless!!!
and...CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEW ALBUM!! : )
I missed a good Madonna ballad!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the song! I definitely sensed the connection with To Have and not to Hold.. . I REALLY CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ALBUM! :)
ReplyDeleteI think possibly best new Madonna song since the 80s.
ReplyDeleteCan't stop listening to it - in the same way I used to when I would catch a new Madonna song on the radio back then (and manage to get it taped).
It's fucking WOW!
OMG Pud - just read ur comment - best song since LTT.
ReplyDeleteIt think I might agree with you (pretty fucking major statement tho!).
This tune is epic in the extreme. I hear it and I see photos of her from the 80s in my mind. The voice is spine-tingling Madonna.
I don't even know how to react to a Madonna ballad - it's been so long. So haunting and lovely like most of her ballads. It is a smart move both artisitic and political. It's a nice cleanse before we hear her new cd. Oscar needs to give it to her for this one! She is so brillaint!
ReplyDeleteThankyou jesusdvg!!!
ReplyDeleteI love it I love it I love it!
jamesy and steven - totally! its been on repeat and with each listen it gets BETTER!!! im even getting a spanish eyes vibe now. those incomparable madonna vocals!!! nobody comes close.
ReplyDeleteI really love it. In my opinion it's the best her voice has sounded since "Confessions" - I do love HARD CANDY but I felt the way the producers recorded her made her sound shrill. The warmth and deep textures are back in her voice...giving me a sigh of relief and showing to me it was just the way she was recorded and not her voice itself that changed.
ReplyDeleteLyrically I think it's great. Ballads are so out of vogue right now...I once wondered if we'd have another ballad from Madonna. Now we do.
I love the echo-ey big reverb on the vocals...might be a little too dark of a sound to make the final version but I hope so. I really love it and it's different. Madonna's vocal effects tend to lead more towards the dry side.
Masterpiece, indeed.
Her voice is flawless on this track. I, too, missed her 'Confessions' voice. I thought they were great. Smooth, crisp and clear.
ReplyDeleteHer vocals are very reminiscent of her, 'Evita' work.
Beautiful.
can't wait to hear it with a full orchestra... the production isn't there for me yet by any means, but her voice is everything... 2012 is shaping up to be like 1985, 89/90, 1998 & 05/06 - which, imho, were the most explosive/creative moments in her career!
ReplyDeleteSorry, Slide. The version you hear here, is the finished version and is sublime.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we will get an orchestral version?
I can't get a fucking link that doesn't wait for ten minutes. I wanna hear this track!
ReplyDeleteit seems 98% of the M-fans are on the same page and loving a new Madonna song. cool!
ReplyDeleteI personally think its one of her strongest ballads.
Thats what makes Madonna one of the greatest singers of all time.
she know how to sing a ballad and switch to dance and master the lyrics With 3 decades of music behind her she still sounds as fresh as her first lp.
MADONNA IS THE GREATEST
PS i have Masterpiece on repeat with Lana del rey "born to die". they sound great back back.
ReplyDeleteOh one more thing.
ReplyDeletePUD you should totally submit that artwork to GUY for the Masterpiece artwork single cover!!
Lana Del Rey's new song is sooo good. You are right, they are great back to back.
ReplyDeleteWho is Lana Del Rey? Wasn't that who sang the, 'Macarena'??
ReplyDeleteit's all i ever wanted.
ReplyDeleteMastepiece-Brilliant and beautiful Detroit ballad! Madonna's still got it!
