Free Music Notes for Give It 2 Me (Maxi-Single)
Free Music Review: 'Give It 2 Me' - Great Maxi Single
Hit: 4 Stars
Where as '4 Minutes' was just okay for me, 'Give It 2 Me' is, in my view, the true start of "Hard Candy" is definitely with this single. Produced by Pharrell of the Neptunes, the dance/club sound that Madonna works best in is on display here in this song. Best yet, the remixes on this release only improve upon the vibe and feel of this great song that features Madonna proclaiming that she can't be stopped, she's far from over and that her fans and critics alike need to give her all that they've got for her because she's ready for a challenge. Where I felt '4 Minutes' was more so of a Justin Timberlake/Timbaland song than it was Madonna, 'Give It 2 Me' is the Material Girl at her best; strong, tucking a message away in hypnotic lyrics and producing good pop and dance music that has a new, fresh sound rather than something underwhelming like '4 Minutes'.
As for the remixes, the best is definitely the Oakenfold Extended Mix which has a nice slick, club sound to it. Other remixes that stood out for me were the Tong and Spoon mix which actually uses the 'Get Stupid' bridge in a fun and exciting way by letting it open the song instead. The Fedde Le Grand and Jody den Broeder Club mix are both fun, dance mixes. As for variety, the Sly & Robbie Bongo Mix is by far the most different of the sort, adding a dance hall/reggae tinge to this rather pop song.
I liked the variety of this maxi single. The previous one bled into one another, with few tracks being able to stand out on their own. That's not the case with 'Give it 2 Me'. More consideration seemed to be given to the tracks selected, better art and design was given to the cover, and this is definitely one for your collection.
Free Music Review: Good Remixes
Hit: 4 Stars
Thoroughly enjoyed this cd . Great to hear different takes on a great single. For Madonna collectors this is a must.Free Music Review: Amazon is f**** kidding me!!
Hit: 3 Stars
I have written a review complaining about the Free Shipping in the US (broken cd cases, torn covers), but actually there seems to be a problem with PAID INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING too.
I bought Madonna's Give it 2 me single, Massive Attack - Blue Lines and Depeche Mode's Speak and Spell and all of them arrived with broken cases, I had to replace the cases for new ones.
Just to mention what I said in the other review: bought a box set and 3 CDs from HMV Japan and they arrived in more than perfect condition in Brazil, faster than Amazon!
I tried to buy from Amazon Japan, but guess what? The Fedex shipment is pretty bad as the parcel ALWAYS gets stuck in Customs and you have this long list of taxes that almost exceed the price of the product!
The Amazon shipment service (national and international) is a joke!!
3 stars for the CD tho. I like the 90's singles more (Justify My Love, Rescue Me, Fever, Bedtime Story...).
Free Music Review: Could have been better
Hit: 2 Stars
Well, another maxi single from The Queen, with plenty of...boring remixes. The track list here, could have been cut to 4 mixes, without any loss. I bought this one 'cause I regarded the song as the best track on "HC" album.
Unfortunately, only two mixes are as good as the original. And these are: Oakenfold Extended Remix and Eddie Amador House Lovers Mix.
The other two, which are quite good, are: Oakenfold Drums in Mix and Fedde le Grand Remix.
In my opinion european editions (avail. with 2 and 3 tracks) are, again, much more customer friendly.
Where is the old good M, with a maxi single, where 100% of mixes are as good as original version. Vide: "Music" or "Secret" or "Ray of light".
Free Music Review: Great song/Bad remixes
Hit: 2 Stars
I'm a huge, long-time Madonna fan. I buy every single with great anticipation. And I have to say this is one of the worst collections of remixes of one of her songs I've ever heard. They are all so tedious and routine. They show no inspiration, nor any respect to the original track. I really expected better...especially considering "Give It 2 Me" is my favorite track off of "Hard Candy". Nevertheless, three cheers to Madonna for being one of the few artists left that still releases CD-singles here in the US.
