I wanna make this my signature Even though I can't stand a single Madonna fan on here, I kinda feel bad for them. This must have raised their hopes so high.

We’ve mentioned a few times – based only on the short clip that appeared in that weird sampler thing that came out last month – that it feels like ‘Turn Up The Radio’ would have made a better lead single for ‘MDNA’. Hearing it now, in the context of the entire album, we regret to inform you that we were right all along. We take no pleasure in having been completely spot on about this. RIGHTNESS IS A CURSE. Basically you know ‘Hung Up’, right? And you know how it had that sort of propulsive energy? And you know how it sounded nowish and classicish at the same time? And you know how it was frenetic and exciting but also elegant and smart? And you know how the lyrics were pretty simple but not offensively stupid? And you know how Madonna’s vocals sounded great? This is a cracker. It seems to hurtle from ‘Ray Of Light’-flavoured beginnings to a thumping post-Daft Punk electrobanger main bit without a second thought. There’s a great bit near the start where the music’s rising in the background and Madonna sings “you feel the wind on your face and your skin and it’s here that I begin my…” and the song crashes in just as she sings “…story”. There another bit where she’s singing about making the speakers blow, and there’s the subtle sound of a speaker blowing. ‘Turn Up The Radio’ does exactly what you want it to do when you want it to do it. In the breakdown she sings: “I don’t know how I got to this state, let me out of my cage cos I’m dying – turn up the radio, turn up the radio, don’t ask me where I wanna go, we gotta turn up the radio.” This is an escapist anthem about leaving wherever you’re stuck, getting in a car, whacking some amazing music on the stereo and putting your foot down. In other words, it’s still only when she’s dancing that she feels this free and it’s still music making the people come together. It captures a brilliantly teenage sensation (“only music can save me from my **** life” but) makes sense of it in a song that doesn’t sound like she’s trying too hard to be down with the kids. It’s funny, some people think that freedom is about changing the way people around you think about life. Real life is sometimes a bit more complicated than that, and sometimes freedom is about being able to leave the ****s behind to get on with their useless lives. And that’s what this song is about. 10/10

The bridge is a lazy, boring and uninspired Knee sized mess tho
