 Disco music meets nineties dance music November 23, 2005

"Hung Up" is not just the first single of Madonna's 2005 album, "Confessions On a Dance Floor". It also opens up a new period for her music, one where she's going back to before she started making music, blending in a disco-like sound with bits and pieces from her "Ray of Light" period. "Hung Up" starts off with samples from ABBA's "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" to jump full fledge into a track that you simply will not be able to sit still through. You will easily find yourself (specially if you are an eighties child) tapping your foot to it for starters, and getting up and dancing without caring as it hits the chorus, "Every little thing that you say or do, I'm hung up. I'm hung up on you."

HUNG UP - This is the first single off of the new album and is a huge hit in the clubs. The song is all ready a #1 hit in the U.K. and many other countries. The song has a sample from a song called Gimme Gimme Gimme from 70's disco group ABBA, (which I have never heard) and has MADONNA singing about someone she is hung up on. The song has a very great groove and it's definitely the most commercial song on the new album. With the chorus line "Every little thing that you say or do I'm HUNG UP, I'm hung up on you" and lines like "Ring , ring, ring goes the telephone, the lights are on but there's no one home" the song gets stuck in your mind and you find yourself singing these catchy lines. No Madonna song has as catchy lines since "INTO THE GROOVE" which had Madonna sing "At night I lock the doors and no one else can see". Very strong single that will keep the dance club crowd on there feet. Madonna is back and as awesome as ever!
It accomplishes it's objective remarkably November 14, 2005

The premise for the new album and single was just to make you dance all night long and "Hung Up" is THE perfect song for that. The lyrics are a no-brainer, but they were never ment to, if you want developed writing from Madonna look for "Bedtime Stories, "Erotica", "Ray of Light" and "American Life".
It samples ABBA's "Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight)", this sample can be easily percieved on the song and has a very positive nostalgic effect but, Madonna and producer Stuart Prices (Jacques Le Cont) also made this sample their own, adding a unique flavor to the song. It's a VERY catchy song but at the same time it doesn't feels like "chewing bubble gum".
Make no mistake, this IS Madonna at her best.
1985 or 2005 ... Madonna is timeless ... this dance song rocks November 16, 2005

Ok I'm biased since I've been a fan since Borderline and Hung Up blasts any other dance song on the market. Madonna is an icon whose just smashed all the younger imitations of her. Nothing takes the place of an original. Hung up makes you move, groove, and get lost in time with an eternal living legend.

First, let me say you should buy "Confessions On A Dance Floor" because it is definately one of Madonna's all-time best!
Now, for the "Hung Up" remixes, they're excellent. The SDP Extended Vocal mix is one of the best remixes ever done. It takes the original and doesn't mess it up. Remember, "Hung Up" is already a dance song that's great for the clubs so there is no reason to over mix it.
I love the fact that Madonna uses so many different remixers and doesn't just stick with one for every song. That's the case here with her using remixers Chus & Ceballos from Spain. There take on the song is almost early 90's feeling. It's a nice breath of fresh air!
The only dissapointment is the Tracy Young mix, which is only a radio edit, it just leaves you wanting more (maybe that's what Madonna intended). I wish it was the full extended mix but keep your fingers crossed and maybe it will be released on a future maxi single.
Don't forget about "Confessions On A Dance Floor", you won't regret it!
