New Music Video: Madonna ft. M.I.A &
Nicki Minaj ” Give Me All Your Luvin”
The new premiere of Madonna’s vide Give Me All Your
Luvin which features rap stars M.I.A and Nicki Minaj.
Four years ago Madonna released her last album, Hard
Candy. Produced by the Neptunes and Timbaland, and featuring collaborations with
Justin Timberlake and Kanye West, it was her hardest album to love (yes, harder
to love than American Life). What should have been a collection of futuristic
R&B was in fact a flaccid facsimile of what everyone else was doing at the
time. Whereas 1998's Ray of Light, 2000's Music and 2005's Confessions on a
Dancefloor felt like she was slightly ahead of the curve, Hard Candy was a cute
comeback. Luckily, Madonna seems to work best when she's following up so
expectations are high for her forthcoming album MDNA. Featuring production from
Martin Solveig and Benny Benassi, as well as William Orbit, it's shaping up to
be the album Madonna promised when she said: "I need to move. I need to sweat. I
need to make new music I can dance to."
As you would imagine, the campaign is being launched
in a fairly low-key manner with a performance of Give Me All Your Luvin' during
this weekend's Super Bowl in front of a global audience of one billion.Nothing
it seems is going to stop Madonna reclaiming her pop crown, even if Lady Gaga
has been wearing it proudly for the last four years. So, is Give Me All Your
Luvin' any good? Well, it's not bad. Musically it's a pretty joyful four
minutes, featuring bouncing beats, acoustic riffs and Gwen Stefani-style
cheerleader chants, but there's something a bit flat about Madonna's delivery.
Given all the love she's demanding, you'd think she'd be more excited.
Instead
she sounds like she rush-recorded the vocal before a screening of W.E. Perhaps
that's why MIA and Nicki Minaj were drafted in, to give the whole thing a bit
more oomph and attrack a younger audience. Minaj certainly does her best, her
typically frantic rap an exercise in squeezing as many words into a 10-second
space as possible, while MIA's more laconic drawl loses momentum. Still, the
Megaforce-directed video is a hoot, featuring cheerleaders, Madonna
breastfeeding a doll, and a finale that involves ripping the head off an
American footballer.
Welcome back.
