Celebration


As an amuse oreille to her new collection, Celebration, Madonna brings her new video to iTunes like so much largesse to the masses. She looks great: a kicky but not too-too new coif, long sleeves (mercifully), and a coterie of young bucks, including DJ Jesus Luz. While this video won't blow hearts, minds, or pants like some of her earlier work, it's a respectably sweaty piece of work, with a sophisticated edge of-- dare it be said?-- restraint.
This release may be more fodder for a dance remix than a stand-alone, but the fifty-one-year-old mother of four is at least keeping up with herself, and that puts her way ahead of the pack.
