i feel so free

 madonna's long awaited comeback to the dancefloor doesn't disappoint. with i feel so free she returned with a similar sound which is no coincidence, as its a promotional single of her upcoming album "confessions II" which will be a sequel to the legendary album, confessions on a dancefloor. 

the jewel of the song is not the lyrics as its pretty repetitive, but just the overall feeling and sound of it. if the dance club charts would still be around it would DOMINATE not just because of its club potential but also the rollout, which was very classic. the song debuted on a radio station and was sent to djs prior to its release. the 5 minute long song has a slow buildup, and lots of spoken lines but i dont really mind it. im hearing hints of i feel love by donna summers and 4 minutes into the song we can hear a bit of acid too. its house, edm, i guess it is dance pop but it has this underground feel to it. 

now i didnt wait a week to write this review for no reason, i wanted to see how the song would perform commercially. madonna is a 67 year old pop star, undoubtedly the biggest female artist of all time, but in the recent years she was unable to compete with the new pop girls like she did 15 years ago. but i thought this might change after her massive copacabana show and multiple collaborations with younger artists, and ofcourse the coachella performance with sabrina carpenter. and i was not wrong as i feel so free is madonna's strongest solo release of the past 10 years. the song debut at #90 on the uk singles charts, madonna's first entry as a solo artist since 2015. on the australia club tracks the song is at #23, and in new zealand it landed at #15. many charts didnt update yet so this is not the full performance, but its already promising considering that the song is just a promotional single, not even the lead single, and a saturday release, and its playlisting peak just hit yesterday as it completely missed new music friday playlists last week, so she will probably climb the charts next week. its great seeing her getting playlisting and promotion from her old recordlabel, as a factor for her success might also be the fact that she returned from interscope to her og recordlabel, warner. im very excited for her duet with sabrina and the lead single, i feel so free got my hopes up for confessions II.
