Madonna's "Celebrate" single is set to hit the radiowaves on August 3rd, and she has actually figured out a way to dash off a video for it while touring.According to http://www.madonnatribe.com/, she showed up at a D&G party at Gold recently with a camera crew and was filmed dancing ("Celebrate"-ing) with her tour dancers until four in the morning.
A close source to Madonna, who's heard the song, was pleasantly surprised:
"Heard ['Celebrate'] on the weekend—it's fantastic. I think [Madonna fans are] all gonna be impressed. It has a great pop melody, very summery with a kinda 'Holiday'-esque but more upbeat vibe, she sings all the way through it so no rent-a-rappers, no long instrumental breaks or anything and a very, very catchy chorus. There's a funny spoken bit in the middle where she says something along the lines of, 'You look better with your shirt off,' which may explain all this silly 'take your shirt off' stuff she's been doing at the shows."
Sounds like Madonna is ending her Warner years with a classic pop feel-good tune, forsaking the urban elements of Hard Candy and perhaps even the club edge of Confessions. It's a fine line between genius simplicity (Britney's "Toxic," Lady GaGa's "Just Dance") and Forrest Gump simplicity, so hopefully this will be more of the former than the latter.
The Greatest Hits CD is scheduled to be released in September.
Here are partial lyrics of the song, which are said to be very "Holiday"-esque.
"Celebrate" by Madonna
When the world's got you down
And there's trouble all around
You can stand up
You can stand up and say
I'm not gonna let it get the best of me
And when your love falls apart
You've got a broken heart
You can make it
You can make it all go away
Just follow me and you will see
CHORUS:
