Madonna always gets a tough time on this blog. It's not because I dislike her, rather it's because I expect a lot from her. Love her or hate her, she's the most influential female pop icon the world has ever known and it likely to remain that very figure for a long time to come. Beyoncé might have stolen the limelight in recent years but as far as an innovative, boundary pushing artist goes, she can't touch Madonna. Her new album Rebel Heart has potential to outshine her last effort, MDNA which bar a few great dance tracks, failed to find its place in the greatest Madonna moments.
New single 'Living For Love' isn't an instant classic, but after a few listens its charm starts to shine through. It echoes 90s dance with heavy sonic booms and shudders and Madonna's vocal performance is confident and, at times, powerful. It's a better slice of contemporary Madonna and is certainly destined to flood the floors of gay clubs with dancing feet the world over.
