As you might know if you have been checking LOFT965.com for bit, we haven’t been liking Madonna’s musical output as of late. Well, let’s break it down. Ever since American Life, it hasn’t been the same. We thought Confessions On The Dance Floor was somewhat of a forced gay-dance album, although it had its few moments – albeit very few.

Then Madonna decided to tour heavily and go on to release Hard Candy. Now, we not only think Hard Candy is bad, like some Madonnaphiles do too, but we actually think it is a horrid attempt at pop-making and entirely centered around gathering the moolah. We will go as far as saying its a stain on her almost-perfect career.

So, our hopes for this album are high. To us, it could be her comeback. Still, she managed to release a worse track than Hard Candy‘s “4 Minutes” for the first single. “Give Me All Your Luvin’” is probably Madonna’s worst single to date – hands down.

But, judging from who she is working with on MDNA and the few snippets that leaked, we have faith in this new release. Parts of us want route for this new full-length album because if it doesn’t deliver we will lose all hope in the icon’s future musical endeavors.

MDNA‘s tracks sound robust. They are dance-oriented, but not in a labored way like Confessions On The Dance Floor. It also sounds like the diva is not afraid to meander into the darker sides of her oeuvre, which is reminiscent of her efforts on Ray Of Light and American Life – our two favorite Madge albums ever.  So, we predict that this will be a great album. Don’t you think?
