I really like this new take on Hung Up -- I love how unforced it is and how nicely the two of them pair together. Wish I could say the same about that video. Why does it feel like a French & Saunders sketch?
Of course the “hardcore fans” (I only read Madonna Infinity and not social media though) are trashing the video, when at the end of the day it’s just a more underground (low budget) Bitch I’m Madonna. Then I realized they hated that too so whatever.
I LOVE that the looks (especially the pink one) are a fun re-interpretation of the original Hung Up look. That is *chef’s kiss* for me. Video is fun and I do like the remix, even if I sort of think it’s a little… annoying to begin with every time I play it? Tokischa’s main bit that runs throughout initially gives me the heebie jeebies for some reason but it’s low-key hypnotic as the song progresses. Mother is slowly but surely getting closer to the Rosalia collab we need. I bet she stans MOTOMAMI. Fuck. Arca. Rosalía. I am quaking. I think we can expect MADOMAMI for the next album and I can’t wait.
I worry that when I say such things I sound a bit "I'm not like all the other old people!", but fuck it - I love this, both song and video. She looks amazing, and seems like she's having so much fun. And it's a genuinely sexy video in my opinion. After this, and Material Gworl would be very up for a collabo/remixes full project.
I feel like she’s found what she wants to do and I’m here for it. She isn’t going to be number 1 in this day and age but she’s yet again re establishing her place in the modern music world
I don't think she actually went properly red for Confessions? I think they just colored her hair digitally for the promo shots (though strawberry blonde is probably accurate.
