Madonna

It started out as a much better Confessions outtake.



Thanks for sharing, I never knew this! Keep The Trance certainly could be improved but it shows some fire. It's shocking how like all the magic of the song was dried out for the Hey You conversion. And even though Pharrell was there, it also lacked his characteristic beats. It feels like they decided to go anthemic but ended up anemic.
 
I'd be here for it to be honest but it needs to the be the Pharrell produced version and not the Madame X version.
Why not both?
I kinda like the Madame X version, it has a cool production. But I don't think it goes well with the lyrics from Back That Up.
Probably she should release an EP with the original Pharrell demo, the sped up version, the slowed down one and the Madame X version.
And I stand corrected, seems like it is re-peaking in TikTok/Shazam. Now that she's aware, maybe they'll not act too late this time.

That's the first time I've heard Gambler! Probably the only Madonna single I'd ever not heard. Very 80's very fun!
Same, I had read about it but I never even bothered looking it up. It's fun indeed.

Madonna should ride on trend and get Back That Up To The Beat along with the other Madame Xtra tracks online (maybe with the Pharrell demo as a bonus)

Ciao Bella is a stomper.

“The truth is that the Company’s entire business model relies on using insidious marketing and promotional activities from A-list celebrities that are highly compensated (without disclosing such), to increase demand of the Yuga securities by convincing potential retail investors that the price of these digital assets would appreciate,” the 95-page fraud complaint states.

With the Oseary-backed crypto company Moonpay working with Yuga to covertly slip payments to the promoting A-listed talent, the whole scheme saw Hart, Fallon, Paltrow give BAYC NFTs the seal of approval without the celebs revealing the often hefty compensation they were receiving.

Hated her NFT involvement so not surprised at all that this has happened. Very poor decision on her part.

But also, celebs being to paid to increase demand/inflate the value of products shocker.......I suppose the difference between Balenciaga and an NFT is that investing in the latter can financially ruin you.

Yes It’s coming from Warner/Rhino.
The truth is that it was also included on the Japanese La Isla Bonita EP back in the day and in the RSD reissue on vinyl.

Yes, and it's in my lil Japanese CD Singles Collection box set and a very well done unofficial reissue cd single a-la the '90's reissues. That Gambler is getting some attention on its own terms in 2022 is a proper pop justice if ever there was one!
