From cavorting in front of flaming crucifixes, to publishing an explicit “pictorial essay”, shock tactics have arguably played as large a part in establishing the Madonna legend as any of her expertly-crafted über-hits. So while delivering puns on Class As and homo-erotic promotional videos at the ripe old age of 53 might not exactly qualify as dignified behaviour, we at least admire her consistency. We also admire her seemingly boundless energy reserves, which are on full display on this latest effort. MDNA heralds Madge’s return to the dance floor, offering up an array of Martin Solveig and Benny Bennassi-produced club bangers, and proof she can still keep up with RiRi and the rest of them.
