The first single from Madonna's upcoming album "MDNA" is called "Give Me All Your Luvin'" and is set for a February 3 release, two days before the singer performs at the Super Bowl on Sunday.
The track features Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. and was composed by Martin Solveig and Michael Tordjman, and marks Madonna's return to music after focusing on directing her new movie "W.E."
MDNA, to be released on Universal Music Group's Interscope Records on March 26, will be the singer's 12th studio album and the follow-up to 2008's "Hard Candy" which debuted at the top of the charts in 37 countries.
An excerpt from the video to Give Me All Your Luvin' will air on U.S. television show "American Idol" on February 2, and the full video appears on Madonna's YouTube channel the following day.
MDNA was recorded in New York and Los Angeles and reunited Madonna with William Orbit who co-wrote and co-produced several cuts on the new album.
The Grammy-winning 53-year-old will headline Sunday's halftime show at the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis in a performance co-created by Cirque Du Soleil.
More than 160 million TV viewers watched last year's halftime performance, making it the most-wtched musical event of the year.

More often than not they've been judiciously met and quite often surpassed (2003's "american life" notwithstanding). 1989's still radiant "like a prayer" finally won over the rock media and nearly a decade later ray of light grabbed back a legion of lapsed madonna admirers, caught up in the intervening downward spiral of sex, musicals and bad movies. Now a decade on from that grammy-winning triumph and madonna is due another pop-time-capsule-of-an-album. With 2005's glossy disco-esque "confessions on a dance floor" she cannily plundered the best of the '70s to arrive at something whose unrelenting shimmery beats and dazzling euro-dance hooks rivalled her first two early 80s albums, "madonna" and "like a virgin. " it sold well all around the world, with the exception of her birth-home, the us of a. ," released later this month, is so very clearly targeted at righting that regretful wrong and putting madonna back on top of the pop charts and radio formats from hollywood to houston and all stops in between.

This time round though, there's no trace of babyface (producer of bedtime's 1995's us #1 "take a bow"), or dallas austin (bedtime's underrated lead single secret), but in their place pharrell williams, timbaland and posse.
ReplyDeleteThat's why her new album, "hard candy," released later this month, is so very clearly targeted at righting that regretful wrong and putting madonna back on top of the pop charts and radio formats from hollywood to houston and all stops in between. Strangely, album opener "candy shop," (almost identical to the version that leaked online a year ago), is one of the album's weaker tracks and doesn't bode well for the rest of the 12-track set.
