Review de The Sun
The Sun heard Confessions II in London — and calls it a dance banger to be played from start to finish, over and over again.
Ellie Henman was invited to a top secret playback in London this week. Her verdict: Madonna and Stuart Price have mixed thunderous beats, a taste of techno, and deep lyrics.
Two tracks stand out from what was shared.
Good For The Soul is a track Henman says she could dance to on repeat. Price explains the mood behind it: “Good For The Soul really became about that expression of joy, when we were finally doing music together again.”
Danceteria is a fantastic stomping track with a serious undercurrent of Vogue — written and recorded in one night. Madonna arrived talking about the old clubs, telling stories about everyone. They had the track and the verse section, but the melody wasn’t coming. She told Price to leave it with her. She came back the next day with three pages of lyrics. “She went, ‘Let me just record it,’” Price recalls. “How this came out is literally just what happened when she walked in and picked up the microphone that day.”
And one detail that says everything about how she works: Madonna always comes to the studio with an A4 notepad, lyrics written down, structured from the start.
