audio review : Human Nature ( song ) … Madonna

This is a song about erotic expression and not feeling any regrets about it. “I’m not sorry; it’s Human Nature,” Madonna reveals before laying verses of naughty rebellion against some controlling force. I’d say a boyfriend, but, knowing her, it could just as well be a chick. The beat includes a freaky backwards bassline and bagpipe loop; a sexy groove for psychological whorefare.

This song was released before I hit puberty, but it struck the right senses and it goes without saying: to arouse a child you must be damn sexy.

*Sigh*

I can vaguely remember her whisperin’, “Express yourself, don’t repress yourself.”

video review : Bitch I'm Madonna ( song ) ... Madonna ( featuring Nicki Minaj )

There’s a party going on and I wasn’t invited. The scene; people having crazy fun at what looks like a lavish rooftop hotel suite in or near Los Angeles; is awesome. I especially dig the part where host Madonna prances her way up a red-lit graffiti-laced staircase and tongue-kisses a random girl. It’s nice to see she’s still being a slut in her 50s.

What the video would do better without are the cringey cameos from celebrities who obviously aren’t at the party. Having Beyoncé in your video, lip-syncing to your song, makes for ultimate bragging rights, even for a VIP like Madonna, but it also makes for an awkward edit. The one exception is Nicki Minaj, who at least raps on the song.

video review : Chris Weidman versus Yoel Romero at UFC 205

video review : Chris Weidman versus Yoel Romero at UFC 205

“He’s just so powerful and explosive,” Joe Rogan warns early on, “Out of nowhere he will explode.” Weidman, who otherwise matches even with Romero, finds that out the hard way in the final round.

Romero’s first name may as well be George as he lands a flying knee that turns Chris Weidman into The Living Dead. The Soldier Of God then hops The Octagon to celebrate with goddess Madonna.

audio review : Madame X ( album ) … Madonna

audio review : Madame X ( album ) ... Madonna

Madonna continues on. This album, the umpteenth since her 1983 debut, has her playing an alter ego of sorts. You can call her Madame X, a feminist and romanticist version of Malcolm X, though the music still sounds like Madonna.

That’s not a good nor bad thing. She’s far from the music goddess she’s often described as, but sometimes she manages to create something special. Crave is a highlight here. Most of the other songs are aesthetically mundane.
