Song Review: Give Me All Your Luvin'

This was suppose to be an album review of her entire album. Alas, I'm too poor to afford it at this time, so this is the alternative. This song was debuted at Madonnas Super bowl performance, which coincided with the release of the single. I had planned to this review weeks ago anyway so here it is at long last. And what did I think of it?

Well, it's not that bad of a song actually. It's poppy enough with a catchy hook. It's pretty much the typical pop song. I liked it. Then I listened to Madonna's greatest hits album Celebration(breaking tradition, as I try and avoid these types of albums). What strikes me most about this song is, well how normal it really is. If this had been from anyone else, I'd be forgiving, but this is MADONNA!

The women who made 80's pop 80's pop. The women who created Ray of Light. The women who has inspired more pop stars since the Beatles. The women who took a Abba hook and turned it into her biggest hook 25 years into her career! One would certainly expect better. And it's not like she's incapable of making good music still. The single off Celebration(oddly titled) 'Celebration' is actually far better then this, which again surprised me. This song doesn't.

As for the guests, it seems a bit strange Madonna picking guests when she hasn't really needed them in the past. And in most cases, they make the music worse(especially 4 Minutes, which for all I know convinced Justin Timberlake to change careers). But as far as they go, while I don't like Nicki Minaj, her verse doesn't do anything to persuade me otherwise. M.I.A. on the other hand, provides a more then acceptable verse, putting her own special touch on the song. M.I.A. may be one of the few unique pop stars out there that is actually unique. My congrats to her.

Overall, this song doesn't exactly have me rushing out to by the album, but given my track record with her, I'mstill willing to give the album a shot when the time(funds) comes. A slightly above average song.

Rating: 3.5/5

(Also, is it just me, or does it look like Madonnas trying hard to shit on the single cover? Maybe that's just me.)
