One of the lesser-known single from Whitney Houston’s early career. ”So Emotional” is a song recorded by American pop/ R&B singer Whitney Houston. The song was the third single from her second album Whitney, and was released on November 12, 1987.

“So Emotional” was written by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly, who also penned Madonna‘s “Like a Virgin“, Cyndi Lauper‘s “True Colors“, Heart‘s “Alone“, and The Bangles ”Eternal Flame“, all of which reached #1 on the charts. The song centers on Houston loving being in love, singing “I get so emotional baby / Every time I think of you / I get so emotional / Ain’t it shocking what love can do“.

“You’re so eeeeeeeeeeeeeeasy on the eyes.”

- Shea Seger

So, “Give Me All Your Luvin’” came and went like a gust of anal wind that nobody really cared for. Yes, the second single (and probably one of the better tracks on the album) is ready for a release. Again, one of our Lofty Predictions came true. Click below to know what the next single is!

“Girls Gone Wild”

As you might know, Madonna is allegedly being sued for her usage of the term “Girls Gone Wild” by none other than the guy who started the soft-porn hit videos. At any rate, should this issue be resolved quickly, Madonna’s “Girls Gone Wild” should be one of the singles from MDNA. Why, you ask? First it was highlighted on the album sampler as of one of three snippet-worthy tracks (which included “Give Me All Your Luvin”"). Second, apart from Hard Candy and Bedtime Stories, all her other full-length album had the first song on the track list released as a single. Third, it sounds like a robust dance hit. Fourth, it’s the only song on the album produced by Benny Bennasi. Finally, the name’s catchy and “Gang Bang” will definitely not resonate on American radio. All of these factors lead us to believe that it will be a single, if not the next one in line. Feel free to disagree in the comments section below.

Madonna’s tour dates for MDNA are out. She’s hitting Arabia for the first time and the list is not done yet. Get your tickets for the Yas Island date as soon as possible and tell us if you are going. Click below for the full tour dates!

Blues is getting a whole new revival. Jody Marie was born in Windsor, Sydney Australia, and came to the UK at the tender age 16. Upon learning she actually had a voice, she decided to try and write songs…and that she did. Fino has performed for Shayne Ward at the AECC arena in Aberdeen, is is currently studying to get that big shiny degree in Popular Music. How wonderful. Fino has adopted a rather pop influenced style, with very dark and moody undertones. She likes to call it: “A mix between Massive Attack, P!nk, Britney Spears and Nerina Pallot”. Hmm. Quite. But hey, it sounds pretty good anyway. At present, Fino is very broke…so new songs will be on the way as soon as she has busted her butt long enough to rake up some dough.

While Madonna’s performance has its ups, downfalls and an “almost fall,” the real star of the Superbowl was none other than M.I.A., who shocked every conservative American parent in the bible belt by flipping her finger in the middle of her rap during Madonna’s new single “Give Me All Your Luvin’.” No word on whether it was intended, but it was fast, yet sexy. Knowing Madonna’s work ethic, it would properly piss her off had it been unannounced. You know? How dare she upstage Madge!

Madonna’s gone and done one of the biggest performances of her life. We are busy at work, so we can’t watch it, but we will definitely tell you what we think once we get around to it. Pom poms, however, are always a plus.

M.I.A. is ready to take on the scene with her fourth highly-anticipated new album. The singer is on top with her collaboration with Madonna and this new track. The video treatment for “Bad Girls” was filmed in Morocco and is inspired by the Arab Spring. Lovely, we wonder if she is calling her new album after her child or a sibling…

The new era of the musical career of the one and only Madonna has fully commenced. The new single from the highly-anticipated new album MDNA has gotten the video treatment! Check it out!

8/10

Madonna is set to dazzle all at the Superbowl with three songs from the catalogue. Here they are:

1. “Ray Of Light”

2. “Vogue”

3. “Give Me All Your Luvin’”

“I stand for freedom of expression, doing what you believe in, and going after your dreams.”

- Madonna

Yeah, America really hadn’t seen an uncovered bustier before.

Madonna’s highly-anticipated MDNA is slated for released date. All the Madonnaphiles can be happy. The queen is releasing the album just one day before Mariah Carey’s birthday. You know, because she can’t dare release it on The Voice’s birthday. The release date is…

March 26th, 2012

Love it when Madonna acts all nice and up when theres a camera around. The most exciting two things about this project are M.I.A. and William Orbits sans Nicki Minaj.

I wonder what Madonna is going to push on us with her chem-insinuating MDNA. Probably goading queens to do more drugs to like her music.—

F for Effort.

First Santigold and now this! It looks like it’s gong to be a bass-tastic year. The queen of alternative rap is ready to release some new material from her fourth album! Conveniently ahead of her performance with Madonna at the Super Bowl, the track will be available to download on iTunes. M.I.A. was reported to be in the recording studio with Swizz Beatz, Polow Da Don, Cataracs, and Chris Brown in early 2011, hinting at new material for a possible fourth album. She posted a series of TwitPics in the middle of November 2011 revealing that she had recorded new songs in Chennai.

There’s a lot of talk concerning Lana Del Rey performance during Saturday Night Live. Many naysayers are raising every flag they can against her artistry. Fortunately, most of those people know zilch about pop music. Alternative hipsters and mainstream junkies can sit aside and admire the allure of the 21st century pop star. No need for vocals, as demonstrated by Madonna’s lengthy career. It’s all about the visual and if the song sound delicious after the studio treatment then its good to go. You don’t believe us? Just ask Lady Gaga and Ke$ha, whom we love both (Ke$ha more than Gaga). This song demonstrates this pop culture newcomer that has already propelled herself to icon status. Just like Diet Mountain Dew, it’s sugary, fresh and ready to sell. It merges a darkened blues underlying with a light fluffy concept. This is lovely.

This could go down as one of the best songs of 2012 and its only January! This is from the album Our Version Of Events, which debuts in February, is set to get a great boost of sales after the singer appeared on an episode of The Graham Norton Show which Madonna was on, too.
