MADONNA'S SUPERBOWL OF MUSIC!

Madonna has begun to unleash the full court press attack of her album release.  While it is her usual game plan, it is one we rarely witness these days in the world of the 24 hour news cycle.   While many performers register just a blip on the media radar when releasing a new album, Madonna finds a way to become part of the conversation MADONNA DANCES WITH CUPID AT THE SUPERBOWL PH:AP/CHARLIE RIEDELat dining room tables, in college dorms, in the clubs, and of course - in the world of social media.   MDNA is the title of her upcoming album, and you can pre-order it now on iTunes ( you know you want to!).   With a breathtaking Superbowl Halftime show under her belt, M released the dates to her upcoming World tour in the support of the album.   No one puts on a show like Madonna.

Nothing is left to chance with Madonna and she stacks projects that blanket all genres - film, music, sports, television - have I forgotten anything?   With her Superbowl performance announced weeks prior -of course the theme of her first single from MDNA - Give Me All Your Luvin was football themed!  Never one to miss an opportunity to connect with the hottest performers of the moment, M invites Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. to join the team on the single.   This energetic pop "ode to love" has a 60's Laugh-In vibe crossed with an 80's Toni Basil cheer!    Think Blondie meets Gwen in pure Madonna style.. and you have GMAYL!

Watch the video below and then watch Cleopatra arrive at the superbowl!

THE LAST ALBUM OF AMY WINEHOUSE

CLICK COVER TO LISTENThe talented creature called Amy Winehouse died too young, too soon, and tragically alone earlier this year.   With a public battle with drugs and alcohol that alienated the singer and her fans and everyone in her personal life.   Winehouse had the world on a string, but unfortunately she was chained to an addiction that clearly tortured her, often in public. 

It is a sad irony that Amy died just when she was getting her life back in order, and one final dance with the devil killed her.   Her family has packaged an album of previously unreleased material- Lioness:Hidden Treasures. THE LATE GREAT AMY WINEHOUSE

I'm conflicted enjoying this album thinking that her family is reaping the benefits -as many said they enabled Amy's problems due to the intoxicating fame and fortune that was raining down on them.   Still, Winehouse was an amazing talent, and her work is irresistible.   A haunting cover of Our Day Will Come and A Song For You is hard to not read into now that Amy is gone.    Her version of The Girl From Ipanema is playful and sultry - Amy's specialty. 

Buy the album today, it will be one of the best you hear for a long time.
