Background and writing

edit
Madonna was inspired to write "Music" after attending aStingconcert at New York City'sBeacon Theatrein November 1999.

After the critical and commercial success of her seventh studio album,Ray of Light(1998), Madonna intended to embark on a new concert tour in 1999, but due to the delay of her film,The Next Best Thing,it was cancelled.[1]By 2000, Madonna was dating directorGuy Ritchie,and was pregnant with their child. Wanting to distract herself from the media frenzy surrounding the pregnancy, she concentrated on the development of her eighth studio album,Music.[2]Ray of Light's success had made Madonna keen to go into a recording studio and she was introduced to French DJ and producerMirwais Ahmadzaïthrough photographerStéphane Sednaoui.[3]

In an interview withCNN,Madonna recalled that herMaverick Recordscompany partnerGuy Oseary"was given a demo by a French artist called Mirwais [Ahmadzaï]". He wanted Madonna's opinion on whether Ahmadzaï could be signed to Maverick, as he was still largely unknown in the United States.[4][5]Ahmadzaï had always preferred taking musical risks and hence he wanted the collaborations with Madonna to get the best out of her. "The challenge was to make something current appear, something hidden in her personality. Everybody knows [Madonna] as a chameleon, as a businesswoman. I wanted to show her potential as a musician," he said.[3]

Following the introspective mood onRay of Light,Madonna was ready to be energetic with the new album, and for the title track she wanted something that would make her "feel like an animal, ready to sprung".[6]Madonna said that the inspiration behind "Music" came from aStingconcert that she had attended at New York City'sBeacon Theatrein November 1999. There, the audience was well-behaved until Sting began playing old hits by his band,The Police.The lights were dimmed and everyone came closer to the stage to listen to Sting. "Suddenly, people lost their inhibition and their politeness, and everyone was practically holding hands... I mean, it really moved me," she toldRolling Stone'sJancee Dunn."And I thought, 'That's what music does to people'". This experience inspired Madonna to write the primaryhookof the song, "Music makes people come together / Music, mix the bourgeoisie and the rebel".[7]

Recording sessions forMusicbegan in September 1999 atSarm West Studiosin West London.[8]An energetic Madonna wanted to make the title track a party song and a statement about love. Together with Ahmadzaï she started writing down the different parts of the song, picking up chords on guitar and lyrics.[9]Following the completion of the song "Paradise (Not For Me)", they started experimenting withelectro funkfor "Music" and created the primary base of the track. "It's not experimental", Ahmadzaï recalled "but its not completely easy. It was a small victory for underground music".[10]According to Madonna, writing and producing "Music" with Ahmadzaï set the tone of the rest of the parent album.[11]But she faced communication problems with Ahmadzaï since he barely spoke English. "The first couple of days we were recording, I wanted to rip my hair out," Madonna recalled. She asked his manager to step in as translator.[12]

"Music" begins with Madonna's androgynous voice uttering the line "Hey Mr. DJ, put a record on, I wanna dance with my baby".[13]After that lyric, her electronically manipulated voice asks "Do you like to boogie woogie?". The producer used anEMS 2000vocoder to twist the vocals and described to Ernie Rideout ofKeyboardas an effect of going "in fits and starts".[14]Mark "Spike" Stentrecorded the song on aSSL 9000Jconsole using aSony 3348 HRand a BASF 931 tape. Hemixedit at London'sOlympic Studiosusing SSL G SeriesQuantegymagnetic tapes. Tim Youngmasteredthe track atMetropolis Studioat Chiswick, London.[15]According to Rikky Rooksby, author ofMadonna: The Complete Guide to her Music,the whole production has adry soundwith heavy usage ofequalizationwhich created contrast in the vocal, continuing till the firstchorus.Guitar flicks can be heard with keyboard chords on thebridge.[13]The music travels from right to left and vice versa when heard on a headphone. MusicianStuart Price,who worked the song for Madonna's 2001Drowned World Tour,added that the rhythmic structure of "Music" was inspired fromKraftwerk's 1977 single, "Trans-Europe Express".[13]

An analogueMoog synthesizerwas used for creating the instrumental riff in "Music".

Harmonically, "Music" has atime signatureof common time, and its composition is based on a statickeyofG minorwith a moderatetempoof 120 beats per minute. Madonna's vocals range from G♭3to two-lined note of D5,with a basic sequence of Gm–F–Gm–F as itschord progression.[16]According to the bookMadonna's Drowned Worlds,written by Santiago Fouz-Hernández and Freya Jarman-Ivens, "Music" is a "discoanthem, and the beat commands [the people] to get up and dance ".[17]The authors noted that the music was the central identification for the song, with its "splashes of electronica and production tricks" from reversecymbalcrescendo,and "tightly quantized" pitch and sounds from aHammond organ.Madonna sang with her mouth close to the recording microphone, which Fouz-Hernández found gave the track a natural sound.[18]Barry Walters fromBillboardfound the composition to also contain a blend of Frenchelectronicaand 1970s electro funk,[12]while Richard S. He of the same publication described the record as "postmodern, escapistdance-pop".[19]AnotherBillboardwriter, Jason Lipshutz said the song was an "electro-popeuphoria ".[20]The instrumental riff in the track is created by a 1970s analogueMoog synthesizer,which ultimately leads to the songfading out.The production in "Music" not only referenced disco and funk, but was alsocampyin nature as noted by Jarman-Ivens.[21]

Lyrically the song reiterates the uniting power of music.[13]The primary hook was deemed as having political implications, with Madonna renouncing thebourgeoisie.[21]Fouz-Hernández believed that the line "I wanna dance with my baby" reinforced a connection with gay listeners because of its "casual, campy style". He compared the track to Madonna's first single, "Everybody"(1982), because in both songs she declares that music" has the power to overcome divisions of race, gender, and sexuality ". It also recalled Madonna's early days of being carefree and living alone in New York, while being a staple in the city's night-club scene.[17]According toBillboard,Madonna's vocals "binds a mind-blowing melange of hyperactive beats, grooves, and stinging percussive elements" in the track. The magazine adds that the song is also "saturated" with the influence ofCameo,Herbie Hancock,Nitzer EbbandRoger Troutman.[12][22]

Release detail and leaks

On June 2, 2000, an unauthorized incompletedemoof the song leaked onto the internet.[23]Snippets of the tracks, ranging from 30 seconds to almost three minutes were circulated through fan websites and music download site,Napster.Madonna's spokeswoman Caresse Norman said that it was an unfinished version.[24]Warner Bros. Records also issued another statement threatening legal actions against Napster lest the song was removed and added their expectation for "the owners who have included this material on their site will comply immediately with our legitimate request that they cease permitting unauthorized downloads of this song."[23]Madonna was disappointed, publishing a letter about the leak onIcon,the magazine released quarterly for her official fanclub.[25]The threatened lawsuit against the leak was reported in the media as Madonna being against Napster, which Madonna clarified was contrary and she "found it a great way for listeners to access music".[7]

Warner Bros. Records initially targeted the single to be released to radio in July 2000,[26]but it was pushed back to August 1, with the commercial release for theCD singletaking place on August 21.[12][27][28]A new website called madonnamusic was created for the single's release with Madonna releasing a message to her fans: "You've probably been hearing about my new record 'Music' for a while, but I just wanted to make sure that you know the single is going to drop very soon. I worked on this track with a French guy called Mirwais and he is the shit."[29]

TheB-sideof the CD and cassette single featured the track "Cyberraga", a collaboration withTalvin Singh."Music" was remixed byGroove Armada,Deep Dish,Victor Calderone,Hex Hector,andTracy Young;all of them were handpicked by Madonna since it was "more important to [her] that my records get played in the clubs. That's where I got my start, and that's where I will probably always feel most at home".[12]Contemporary club music was inspiration behind the remixes with Calderone adding tribal beats and synths around Madonna's vocals. A house beat and bassline was used in Deep Dish's remix, while Hector utilized electro-skewed beats, guitarlicksandbreakbeat.Young's 13 minute remix usedambientinterludes, house music rhythms, trance and 1970s music with Madonna's singing sounding fresh. Club DJs received the promotional remixes on August 2, 8 and 15, while they were released to retailers on August 22 in maxi-CD and double vinyl formats.[22]

Critical reception

Upon release, the song received generally positive reviews from critics.J. Randy Taraborrelli,author ofMadonna: An Intimate Biography,declared "Music" as a dance-anthem "that reaches into the future but also slyly conjures images and feelings of the good ol' disco days".[30]In a similar review,Lucy O'Brien,author ofMadonna: Like an Icon,relegated the track as "a resurrection of the disco girl" image. She listed "Music" as a career-defining moment for Madonna, like previous singles "Vogue"and"Justify My Love"(both released in 1990). O'Brien clarified the song as" the same genre defining quality, robotic, tinny, trashy and audacious... She resurrects the Madonna imperative. Dance. Party. Surrender ".[2]Stephen Thomas ErlewineofAllMusiccalled it "a thumping track which sounds funkier, denser, sexier with each spin".[31]Jim Farber of theNew York Daily Newsgave a positive feedback, stating that it is "everything a single should be: pithy, simple and maddeningly catchy, her most instantly embraceable single since 'Holiday' ".[32]Farber also highlighted the lyrics, which he felt covered familiar ground for Madonna by talking about the power of dance music. This thought was shared by Fouz-Hernández, who believed that like her debut single "Everybody", "Music" defined Madonna's artistic credibility.[32][17]

Reviewing the parent album forRolling Stone,Barry Walters also compared it to Madonna's earlier work.[33]Sal Cinquemani fromSlant Magazinecalled it Madonna's best dance track since "Vogue", also comparing it to her 1985 single, "Into the Groove".[34]In his review of Madonna's 2001 compilationGHV2,Cinquemani praised the single's "retro club beats and vintage synth sound". Giving it a B rating, he concluded that "only a former material girl living in aNASDAQworld could get away with a song like this ".[35]Dimitri Ehrlich fromVibefound "Music" to be "a bouncing parade of synthesizers that pose the question 'Do fortysomething baby-mamas still have the divine right to get down?' (The answer is yes)".[36]Chuck Arnold fromEntertainment Weekly,called it one of Madonna's "most eccentric hits ever" and found it to be reminiscent of her earlier works, specifically "Holiday".[37]

Billboard's Chuck Taylor praised the song as a "stunning enterprise, a ballsy testament to [Madonna's] insistence on being a style-setter and one of the industry's most savvy—and now critically accountable—tunesmiths". He believed that both radio and the audience would be shocked with the experimentation Madonna achieved in the track.[22]Larry Flick from the same publication described the song as "anthemic", also predicting a positive commercial reception.[12]AnotherBillboardwriter Joe Lynch highlighted that Madonna had successfully created a "surefire radio winner with cross-generational appeal", he also said the song was a "dancefloor call-to-arms boasting a faint patina of electroclash for the club kids, a throbbing techno beat for suburban ravers and enough old-school electro-funk that her middle-aged fans could still nod along".[20]Ethan Brown, fromNew Yorkmagazine, stated that the song "elicits memories of past pop odes to dance culture", and praised its "giddy mix of electro-bounce, campy vocoder chants, and funky keyboard squeals".[38]Charlotte Robinson ofPopMattersbelieved that "Music" 's appeal lay in the "freewheeling, fun spirit" nature of Madonna, which had initially made her popular. However, she also called it a "goofyRick Jamesrip-off ".[39]ForMedium's Richard LaBeau, "this bold and aggressive electro-funk song may not be particularly lyrically inspired but it is rightfully hailed as one of her finest and most unexpected hours".[40]

Negative criticism came fromThe Guardian's Garry Mulholland, who described the track as "the sound of a bunch of middle-aged trend-watchers second-guessing what today's kids go for [...] the absolute definition of mutton-dressed-as-lamb middle-youth".[41]Alex Pappademas fromSpin,pointed out that "its dancefloor liberation mantra feels forced".[42]Danny Eccleston fromQdescribed the song as "daring gambit" and found that the track did not resemble any Madonna endeavor. He panned the over-usage of the electronic sounds and compared "Music" unfavorably toDaft Punk's "Around the World"(1997).[43]

Music video

Conception and filming

edit
ComedianSacha Baron Cohenappeared in the music video as his character,Ali G(pictured above).

The accompanyingmusic videowas directed byJonas Åkerlund,who had previously helmed Madonna's "Ray of Light"clip in 1998.[76]It stars Madonna, her longtime backup singerNiki Harisand her friend, actressDebi Mazar,as well as comedianSacha Baron Cohenas his famous characterAli G.[7][77]Madonna became a fan of the comedian after watching his Christmas special,Ali G, Innit(1999). When the video was planned Madonna thought that Baron Cohen "would be great in it", although it was confirmed that he was not going to be involved in the musical aspects.[78]Åkerlund stated that originally they intended to have American comedianChris Rockin the video. Since Baron Cohen was not known in the US at that time, the director showed everyone clips fromDa Ali G Showso they could see the Ali G character.[76]

When we did the 'Music' video, it was a weird time. [Madonna] was pregnant and we didn't want her to look pregnant—so we had to work around that. We had an idea to do a fun party video with her and her girls, make it a little bling and cowboy hats and all that. We wanted to have some comedy in there and I wanted to do some animation.[76]

The video was shot inLos Angeles, Californiain April 2000, to accommodate Madonna's pregnancy and her then-growing waistline. Crew members were asked to sign confidentiality documents for the filming.[24][79]Madonna conceptualized the clip, wanting to show her take on the stereotypical R&B and rap music videos. She wanted to do role reversals with females enacting characters generally reserved for males. However, her range was limited being pregnant so she "had to think of a concept that would incorporate me being almost a voyeur rather than the central force in the video. So I figured if I played this kind of mack-daddy/pimp character, where things just came to me, happened to me and happened around me while I was watching it all happen, I could kill two birds with one stone."[80]

Madonna's look in the clip was described by O'Brien as a "ghetto-fabulous female in a feather boa and stetson; all diamonds and bling, going to lapdancing bars and travelling in the back of a luxury limousine".[2]She had initially enlisted some actors to portray her accompaniments in the video, but she did not feel comfortable with their stiffness, their model-like appearance and lack of personality. So she called up Mazar and Harris to come and star in the video. "I was at home when Madonna called me. She said 'I need my girlfriend, not these fake girl-friends trying to be my girlfriends. Throw on some clothes and come down'", recalled Harris.[2][7]Ali G kept entertaining everyone in the set with Madonna not being able to "keep a straight face" during her takes. She kept her coat shut all the time and had to sit in the limousine to hide her belly.[7]

Release and reception

edit

The music video debuted onMTVandVH1on August 2, 2000.[81]VH1 channel aired a special hour-long program,Madonna's Music,in which Madonna called in for a phone interview. It was hosted by VH1's Rebecca Rankin who presided a discussion withRolling Stonemusic critic Joe Levy about Madonna and her looks, as well as a video interview with Mazar and Harris. VH1 also aired a countdown of Madonna's previous videos and offered its viewers to listen to a remix of "Music".[82]In addition, about 700 Madonna fans saw a free preview of the video at New York City'sIrving Plazaa few days before the premiere.[83]

The clip starts with Madonna and her friends getting into a limousine, driven by Ali G. As the music starts Ali G is directed to take them to a club where Madonna and her friends dance and drink. He later takes them to a strip-club, where Madonna goes inside but he is denied entrance. An animated section follows where Madonna, as a superhero character with superpowers, flies above rooftops, swims underwater, and works as a DJ at a club with a dozen arms like a Hindu deity.[84]Madonna's animated character also attacks various neon signs displaying the names of her previous singles.[81]The video ends with Madonna and her friends traveling in the limousine packed with the strippers and Ali G engaging in a rendezvous with them. According to author Georges Claude Guilbert, throughout the clip Madonna wears a gold necklace around her neck that says "Mommy", a reference to her apparent pregnancy. In the extended version of the music video, there is a variation at the end of the animated section. Ali G briefly interrupts the song to demonstrate his rap skills to persuade Madonna to include him on her next single. An annoyed Madonna asks him to stop and to turn the song back on.[84]

Jarman-Ivens noted the use of American imagery in the clip, especially Madonna's cowboy garb and her popularizing of cowboy fashion. She found it interesting that Madonna "turned" to Americana, "underlining her interest in exploring her relationship to mainstream America through a fashion and cultural style that is rich and multi-layered in its meaning".[85]The author also emphasized Madonna's sexual assertiveness in the music video, and emphatic defining of herself as "a sexual free spirit", as well as portrayal of expensive accouterments.[86]"Music" was released as aDVD singleon September 5, 2000.[22]It reached the top of the UK Music Video charts and number three on the US Music Video charts, receiving gold certification in both regions.[87][88]The clip was parodied on thesixth seasonofMad TVand was called "My Movies". It featuredMo Collinsas Madonna and poked fun atMadonna's filmography,with an animated version of Madonna attacking signs displaying her commercially flop films.[89]In 2009, the video was included on Madonna's compilation,Celebration: The Video Collection.[90]

"Music" has been included in many critic lists for Madonna's top singles and is often ranked as one of thebest songs of the 2000s.Dotmusicplaced it within its top-ten singles for 2000.[99]In 2003,Q Magazineranked the song at number 778 in their list of the "1001 Best Songs Ever".[100]Rolling Stonelisted "Music" as the 66th best of the 2000s decade, commenting that "despite all the new pop starlets out there trying to jump her train, Madonna definitely [is] not slackening pace. When she dropped" Music ", she was older thanBritneyandChristinacombined, yet she took them to school with vintage electro-boom, Eurodisco flourishes from French producer Mirwais, and her own inimitable sass. "[101]The publication also ranked it at number nine on their list of Madonna's 50 Greatest Songs, writing that "After years spent making albums that bridged boundaries of race, gender and sexual orientation, Madonna finally wrote a tune explicitly devoted to the democratizing power of music itself."[102]The Huffington Post's Matthew Jacobs ranked it at number 11 on his list "The Definitive Ranking Of Madonna Singles". Jacobs believed that the phrase "Hey Mr. DJ" gave rise to the usage of name-checking in songs thereafter, employed by other artists likeJennifer Lopez,Black Eyed PeasandMariah Carey.[103]

"[106]LA Weekly's Michael Cooper ranked the track at number 12 in his list of Madonna's Top 20 Singles. He opined that Ahmadzaï's production of the track "[helped] to cement Madonna as the queen of reinvention".[107]Ed Masley ofThe Arizona Republicplaced it at number 13 on his Essential Madonna playlist.[108]Writing forThe Guardian,Jude Rogerslisted "Music" at number 10 on her ranking of Madonna's singles, in honor of her 60th birthday.[109]Similarly,Entertainment Weeklylisted it as her seventh best single.[110]
