Confessions... clearly wouldn't exist without Madonna, but it's Price who steals the show.
Madonna never completely deserted clubland, of course, but she hasn’t made an album this consistently beat-driven since 1992’s Erotica ... She’s smart enough to know that dulcet dance music for grown-ups is a worthy niche waiting to be filled.
Sure, its Abba-sampling smash “Hung Up” masked much of Confessions padding, but this fruity homage to ’70s and ’80s disco resonated profoundly with fans.
Confessions is as shallow and shiny as a diamanté cocktail stirrer, and all the better for it.
It may be a return to core values, but there's still a bravery about Confessions on a Dancefloor.
Madonna, with the help of Price, has succeeded at creating a dance-pop odyssey with an emotional, if not necessarily narrative, arc—and one big continuously-mixed fuck-you to the art-dismantling iPod Shuffle in the process.
'Confessions...' isn't the all out disco bonanza it could have been ... Yet even with this criticism there isn't a bad song on the album, just a sense that perhaps Madonna kept inside her comfort zone a little too much.
Confessions on a Dance Floor is the first album where Madonna seems like a veteran musician. Not only is there a sense of conscious craft to the album, in how the sounds and the songs segue together, but in how it explicitly references the past -- both her own and club music in the larger sense.
The lyrics ambiguous, vague, slightly nonsensical ... More than ever Madonna is a product of someone else’s vision, or in this case, lack thereof.
For her latest studio album, Madge has generated 12 tracks of pure dance music sure to please the international club community and her most unshakable supporters: gay men. With its surges and dips, Confessions mimics the rising/falling action of, say, a DJ set, a hit of Ecstasy, or Madonna’s own career.
Instead of the bubble-gum pop and super-cheesy 80s synths of the Like A Virgin days, Madge teams up with producer Stuart Price ... to eke out a slick pastiche of Daft Punkian mid-90s club cuts celebrating the popper-happy hedonism of late-70s New York dance floors.
Confessions on a Dance Floor, a collection of routine disco pieces every bit as tepid as its title. The putative confessions here are meagre fare indeed from one formerly so forthright.
Queen of Pop
In this album she takes me to her party. It starts happy and then the dance get darker.

Se existisse um exemplo de como a produção de músicas dance deveriam ser feitas, esse exemplo deveria ser Confessions on a Dance Floor.
A era "American Life", com certeza foi um dos momentos mais conturbados para a carreira de Madonna, após isso ela precisava de algo que não fosse tão polêmico, e isso veio na forma de "Hung Up", música que conseguiu entrar no livro dos recordes por ter ficado em #1 em mais ... read more
