Easily the catchiest, most instantly enjoyable pop album of the year. |

'Dressed In Black' is pure epicness. Her soaring choruses always give me chills. |

Great to see Chandelier finally taking off in the US. It's just outside the Top 10 iTunes sales now. Radio is holding it back from truly smashing. And yes, the album is utterly flawless pop.

Imagine if Madonna had the sense to lock herself away with Sia for a month...the stuff they could come up with together...

I was just thinking that "Hostage" sounds like it could be a brilliant song by The Strokes, when I realised it's a co-write with one of their members. Cracking song! |

Yes, that's why they keep presenting her as songwriter who wrote for Rihanna, Beyawnce and Madonna. |

Honestly, while I do enjoy her solo material, apart from Diamonds I don't think she's done anything particularly amazing for other artists. Pretty Hurts is pure cheese, the Kylie album is snooze worthy and don't get me started on that Katy dribble. |

I agree. She gives away the generic pop drivel and keeps the more sophisticated stuff for herself. I don't get the fuss over "Pretty Hurts" either. It's so, so naff. |

But I really don't see Madonna singing any of these songs, she has a very different vocal |

I'd like to think she learned from her mistakes with the last album which is why she is throwing herself into all aspects of this one. |
