New York. Early 1980s. By many accounts, the city itself was art.
It was a place where a pre-fame Jean-Michel Basquiat and Madonna were casually, dating. Where youth expressed its freedom, creativity, and struggles with a kind of reckless dedication. If its art and music were symptoms of the scene, Madonna became its most feverish hysteria.
One of the key things often noted about her rise is that, she truly craved fame. She has been called annoying, manipulative, and desperate—terms used ... read more
It’s 2012. The female popstar/dance diva scene that Madonna was instrumental in developing is now the main stage for corporate business to make billions.

None of those songs are necessarily weak, and I quite like her Rebel Rebel (David Bowie) cover. Altar Boy, Tigers, and Beat Angels are highlights for ... read more
It's Tensionless
I was super hyped by the singles and Kylie's latest work "DISCO", it seemed like she was digging electropop gold by experimenting with tons of tropes of both electronic and pop music, marching them together with great basslines, drums, and her new-found confidence in recording vocals.
True is that most of the songs are letdowns and end up sounding like they came from another album universe, one that stays safe, boring, and tensionless. Some even sound like its ... read more
