MDNA is the twelfth studio album by American recording artist Madonna, first released on March 23, 2012 by Interscope Records. It is also Madonna's first album not to be associated with Warner Bros. Records, the label she was signed to since 1982. As well as Madonna producing the album she worked with a variety of producers such as Alle Benassi, Benny Benassi, Demolition Crew, Free School, Michael Malih, Indiigo, William Orbit and Martin Solveig. MDNA lyrically explores themes such as partying, love for music, infatuation, as well as heartbreak, revenge and separation.

The album received generally positive reviews from music critics. Upon its release, it debuted at number one in over 40 countries worldwide, including Australia, Canada, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. Madonna set a new record for the most number-one albums by a solo artist in Australia and the United Kingdom, but also achieved the largest second-week percentage sales drop for a number-one debuting album of the Nielsen SoundScan era in the United States.

The album's lead single, "Give Me All Your Luvin'", was released on February 3, 2012. The single became her 38th top-ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100, extending her record as the artist with the most top-ten singles in that chart's history. The second single "Girl Gone Wild" was released digitally on March 2, 2012 while "Turn Up the Radio" was the third, released on August 5, 2012. All three singles have peaked at number one on Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart, extending her record as the artist with the most number-one songs on that chart. Prior to the album's release, Madonna performed at the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show on February 5, 2012. The album was further promoted by her MDNA Tour, which went on to become the tenth highest grossing tour of all time. Madonna went on to win "Top Touring Artist", "Top Dance Artist", and "Top Dance Album" for her MDNA Album and Tour at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards. [4]

Background [edit]

"It's amazing to be back in music. I like the intimacy of a recording studio and songwriting. I'm using a different part of my brain when I work on music versus when I'm directing a film. There are a billion more people on a film and I don't have that visceral outlet of being able to sing, scream... jump around. It's very different. I love doing both but it was nice to have the simplicity of songwriting after three years of writing a script and directing and editing and talking about my film, to sit down and play my guitar and sing a song. I almost cried."

—Madonna talking about her comeback in music after hiatus for directing her film W.E.[5]

In December 2010, Madonna posted a message on her Facebook page exclaiming: "Its official! I need to move. I need to sweat. I need to make new music! Music I can dance to. I'm on the lookout for the maddest, sickest, most badass people to collaborate with. I'm just saying [...]."[6] She reunited with producer William Orbit over a decade after their last collaboration. Madonna said: "With William, I didn't really have a discussion. We've worked on stuff for so many years that we kind of finish each other's sentences. He knows my taste and what I like."[7] In July 2011, Martin Solveig was invited to a writing session in London. Originally Madonna had only acquired Solveig for an idea of one song which eventually turned into three: "Give Me All Your Luvin'", "I Don't Give A" and "Turn Up the Radio".[8] In an interview with Billboard Solveig felt the stature of Madonna's regular producers would be intimidating and so he chose to avoid "thinking about the legend, and do something that just makes sense".[8] Madonna then enlisted several other producers for the project, including Alle Benassi, Benny Benassi, The Demolition Crew, Michael Malih and Indiigo.[9] She also collaborated with female singer-rappers Nicki Minaj and M.I.A..[10] Madonna wished to collaborate with "women who [...] have a strong sense of themselves", she found the pair were "fun to be around" and were both self-possessed people, referring to M.I.A. Madonna said "I don’t think she’s impressed much by stars and celebrities, so we just got down to business. I loved her."[10]

On December 15, 2011, Madonna announced that the album will be released in the spring of 2012 and it will be her debut release from her 360 deal with Live Nation Entertainment which was signed in 2007. Through this contract, Madonna and Live Nation signed a three-album deal with Interscope Records, who will market and distribute the album.[11][12] In the 2011 year-end readers poll by Billboard, it was voted as the most anticipated album of 2012.[13]

Recording [edit]

On July 4, 2011, Madonna's manager Guy Oseary, announced that Madonna entered the studio to begin the recording sessions for the album.[14] In an interview with Channel V Australia, Martin Solveig commented on Madonna's involvement in the production of the album: "She is as involved as you can be in the recording process. This was a very good and big surprise for me! I was assuming that she would spend only an hour or two in the studio per day and come and see where we were and say, "Ok I like this, I don't like that. I'll sing this. Bye!" And absolutely not... I mean we co-produced the track and it’s not just written on the credits "co-produced by Martin Solveig and Madonna", we literally co-produced the tracks. I mean, at some point she wanted to choose the sound of a snare drum or a synth and that kind of stuff. She was really in the session!"[15] He felt that he and Madonna had time to spend on the record which relieved pressure from the sessions, and he felt the pair enjoyed making music together which was the reason for which they continued past one song which had been the original concept.[8]

Solveig and Madonna "got along very well" and found common interests in music, cinema, food and wine.[8] Common interests in the French film Le Samouraï about a solitary killer became a discussion which led to Solveig drafting the song "Beautiful Killer" in reference to the film.[8] When discussing Solveig, Madonna found their common interests were what drove them to have successful collaborations, she liked his way of working saying "He’s very organised and methodical in his thinking" and she found she was able to say "‘No, I don’t like that,’ and you’re not going to hurt [his] feelings".[10] Madonna also talked about producer William Orbit, she felt her European qualities were well suited to his production style, and with conversation during sessions being "essential" she felt "With William, we always get into discussions about philosophy or quantum physics".[10] When it came to working with Benny and Alle Benassi she found it difficult to communicate with Benny as he is not fluent in English, during their recording sessions she used his cousin Allessandro as an interpreter and whilst this originally proved frustrating they eventually found a way to communicate.[10] She had not worked with Benny Benassi before and found that the first-time meeting a producer was difficult as she would feel shy, but after they had solved the communication troubles Madonna found "I felt like I knew him very well".[10]

Titling and artwork [edit]

The album's title was announced by Madonna during an interview on The Graham Norton Show on January 11, 2012.[16] Martin Solveig revealed that it was M.I.A. who suggested the album title to Madonna, noting "We were having a lot of fun with the initials. M.I.A. said, ‘You should call your album 'MDNA' because it would be a good abbreviation and spelling of your name.’ Then we realized that there were actually many different possibilities of understanding for those initials—the most important being the DNA of Madonna."[17] When discussing the album on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Madonna explained that the album's title is a triple entendre, representing both her name and "Madonna DNA." She also implied that it's also a reference to the drug MDMA, or ecstasy, which provides "euphoric feelings of love."[18] It was condemned by Lucy Dawe, a spokesperson for the anti-drugs campaign group Cannabis Skunk Sense. She told The Sun newspaper that Madonna's choice of album title was "an ill advised decision."[19]

The album's artwork was shot by Mert and Marcus and directed by Giovanni Bianco.[20] The deluxe edition cover was unveiled through the Madonna's official Facebook page on January 31, 2012.[21] According to Jocelyn Vena of MTV, in the artwork, the singer "cocks her head up, her curly hair pulled back. She's wearing lots of mascara, bright red lipstick, a choker and a silky bright pink top. The photo has some kind of broken mirror filter over it, giving it a funky, dance-queen vibe."[22] Vena also commented that Madonna is "truly expressing herself in the glamorous, deconstructed photograph full of bouncing colors."[22] Jeff Giles of PopCrush commented: "Consisting of a colorful split shot of Madonna in a classic blond 'n' glamorous pose, the MDNA cover promises a bold step forward while remaining strongly reminiscent of her chart-topping '80s work.[23] Robbie Daw of Idolator compared the artwork to the one of True Blue (1986).[24] The standard edition cover was later revealed on February 6, 2012.[25] Emily Hewett from Metro wrote that "although the latest cover shares similar colours and the same blurred style with the deluxe edition, the standard version features a close-up body shot of the American singer wearing a tight-fitting scarlet dress and fingerless gloves to match, rather than a head shot."[26]

MDNA received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 64, based on 34 reviews.[36] Andy Gill of The Independent wrote that it "represents a determined, no-nonsense restatement of the Madonna brand following the lacklustre Hard Candy".[37] Rolling Stone writer Joe Levy called the album a "disco-fied divorce record" and wrote of its music, "there's lots of naughtiness for the DJ to bring back, and the music has depth that rewards repeated listening."[33] Priya Elan of NME called MDNA "a ridiculously enjoyable romp", citing its "psychotic, soul-bearing stuff" as "some of the most visceral stuff she’s ever done."[38] Slant Magazine's Sal Cinquemani found the album "surprisingly cohesive despite its seven-plus producers" and stated, "it's obvious Madge and Billy Bubbles can still create magic together."[34] Enio Chiola of PopMatters wrote that she "deftly juggles the production variances" and called it "a welcome return to form in so many different ways."[39] Chicago Tribune writer Greg Kot called it her best album since Ray of Light (1998) and wrote that she "excels" on the William Orbit-produced tracks.[40] Caryn Ganz of Spin commented similarly, "if there's one producer who knows how to pluck Madonna's heartstrings, it's Ray of Light's Orbit."[35] Jon Pareles of The New York Times viewed that Madonna's "pop instinct, the one that hones catchiness above all [...] gets her through MDNA with hook after hook."[41]

However, Allmusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine found the album "flinty" and "excessively lean" as a result of "cool calculations" aimed to reassert Madonna's preeminence in dance and pop.[1] Helen Brown of The Daily Telegraph panned its lyrics as "horribly cliched" and criticized Madonna's direction, stating "a woman who’s putting so much visibly desperate energy into looking and sounding like a teenager is missing the point of pop, of parties … of life."[42] Pitchfork Media's Matthew Perpetua found most of it "shockingly banal" and "particularly hollow, the dead-eyed result of obligations, deadlines, and hedged bets."[31] Maura Johnston of The Village Voice found Madonna's "move toward EDM [...] hamfisted" and found her voice to be a "nonpresence".[2] Los Angeles Times writer Randall Roberts viewed that its music suffers from "familiarity" and that the album "offers evidence that the singer has fallen behind, that she is no longer setting the conversation" in pop music.[30] Genevieve Koski of The A.V. Club criticized its "electronically manipulated" vocals and "big, generic Euro-dance beats", while calling MDNA "competent, but equally perfunctory."[43] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian viewed the album as "neither triumph nor disaster", writing that it "turns out to be just another Madonna album".[29]

Commercial performance [edit]

The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 359,000 copies sold in the United States, making it her biggest opening week sales since Music (2000). It became Madonna's eighth chart-topper and her fifth consecutive studio album to debut at number one.[44] The album's sales were aided by Madonna's tour audience, who had option to get the album as part of their ticket purchase. Around 185,000 copies of first week sales reportedly came from that album-ticket bundling.[45] The album sold 48,000 copies in its second week, the largest second-week percentage sales drop for a number-one debuting album of the Nielsen SoundScan era.[46] On October 9, 2012, MDNA was certified gold by the RIAA, for sales of 500,000 copies.[47] As of December 2012, it has sold 521,000 copies in the US, according to Nielsen SoundScan.[48]

With those two releases, Madonna has accumulated 22 top-ten albums in Japan, more than any other international artist.[57] The album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan for shipments of 100,000 units.[58] In India, the album shipped gold in its first week of release and became the country's fastest-selling international album of the year.[59] Madonna also set record for a foreign album in Turkey as MDNA sold over 30,000 copies within four days, outselling all Turkish domestic albums.[60] In Russia, album debuted atop the chart with 26,000 sold and was certified double platinum.[61] It has sold over 50,000 copies in Russia, as of April 25.[62] MDNA it was certified 5x Platinum and sold more than 7,000 physical copies, 44,000 digital copies and exceeded 1.5 million listens on the on-line streaming service Yandex.Music.[63] As of December 2012, MDNA had sold 1.8 million copies worldwide, making it her lowest selling studio album.[64] This album is the 12th best selling album of 2012 and the 7th of the Universal Music Group.[citation needed]

Singles [edit]

"Give Me All Your Luvin'" was released as the first single from the album on February 3, 2012.[9] It received mixed reception from critics, who complimented its "catchy" melodies, but felt that the musical composition is inferior to Madonna's previous singles.[65] Many reviewers noted the song as a weak lead single and not a proper representation of the album.[29][66] The song reached the top of the charts in Canada, Finland, Hungary, Israel and Venezuela, and the top five in several European countries, Japan and South Korea.[67] It became Madonna's 38th top-ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100, extending her record as the artist with most top-ten singles in the chart history.[68] Its accompanying music video was directed by Megaforce and features football and cheerleader theme inspired by the Super Bowl.[69] The album's second single, "Girl Gone Wild" was released digitally on March 2, 2012. It also met with mixed critical reception, with critics praising the dance nature of the song, while some noting its similarities to songs from other mainstream artists.[70][71] The black-and-white music video for the song was directed by fashion photographers Mert and Marcus.[72] "Turn Up the Radio" was released as the third and final single from the album,[73][74] on August 5, 2012 in the United Kingdom.[75]

Promotional singles [edit]

In the United Kingdom "Masterpiece" was officially sent to radio stations on April 2, 2012 as a radio-only promotional single from the album.[76][77] In Brazil, "Superstar" was released on December 3, 2012 only as a special edition free CD with Brazilian newspaper Folha de S. Paulo. The accompanying artwork for the single was created by Brazilian graffitist Simone Sapienza who won a contest sponsored by Johnnie Walker's Keep Walking Project in Brazil, she was chosen by Madonna after being among ten finalists.[78][79]

Promotion [edit]

Super Bowl [edit]

Madonna performing "Give Me All Your Luvin'" at the Super Bowl XLVI.

In December 2011, it was announced that Madonna would perform at the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. Madonna collaborated with Cirque du Soleil in producing the show, and was chosen in lieu of American recording artist Lady Gaga.[80] Rehearsal for the halftime performance accumulated to an estimated 320 hours.[81] The show was visualized by Cirque Du Soleil and Jamie King.[82][83]

Madonna performed at the Super Bowl XLVI during the Bridgestone Halftime Show which was broadcast on NBC on February 5, 2012, from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The performance included twenty dancing dolls, seventeen main dancers, a two hundred membered church choir, and a drumline consisting of a hundred percussionists.[81] Thirty-six image projectors were utilized to create a spectacle of lights, while Madonna wore 120 individual prosthetic eyelashes.[81] The show began with Madonna being carried into the stadium by 150 bearers, who wore pairs of black underwear designed by Calvin Klein.[81] She arrived atop of a golden throne, which weighed over 1,200 pounds,[81] and sported a long golden cape designed by Givenchy; completion of the cape happened over an approximate period of 750 hours.[81] Madonna performed "Give Me All Your Luvin'" (joined by Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. dressed as cheerleaders), during a medley of her past hits "Vogue" and "Music" (performed with LMFAO along with excerpts from "Party Rock Anthem" and "Sexy and I Know It"), then an "Open Your Heart"/"Express Yourself" interlude followed by "Like a Prayer" (performed with Cee Lo Green).[84][85] Once the show concluded, a group of 250 volunteers dismantled the stage in six minutes.[81]

The performance gained widespread attention from the media, after M.I.A. extended the middle finger to the camera near the end of her verse of the song instead of singing the word "shit".[86][87] The incident prompted broadcaster NBC and the National Football League to issue apologies.[88][89] Madonna's performance broke a record as the most-watched Super Bowl halftime show in history, garnering 114 million viewers.[90] She also set a new record as the most tweeted about subject on the social network Twitter with 10,245 posts per second and was the most-searched term on Google during the event.[91][92] Madonna was not paid for the performance, as previous performers at the event have not been paid. However, a Forbes analysis said before the event that, with 30-second commercial spots commanding over $3 million apiece, the 12 minutes of free television exposure had a considerable promotional value to Madonna's multiple enterprises coming to market at the time of the event.[93]

Media [edit]

Following her performance at the Super Bowl, the album received limited promotion and Madonna was basically off the radar.[46][94] She avoided major television appearances and live performances, instead focusing on rehearsals for her world tour.[94] On April 11, 2012, her manager Guy Oseary explained on his Twitter: "I wish we could have done TV last week but we were in rehearsals morning and night."[46] Madonna used social media to promote the album instead. Through her official Facebook, she published minute-long snippets of several album tracks, posted behind-the-scenes pictures of tour rehearsals and polled her fans about which back-catalog songs they'd like to hear when she hits the road.[95] On March 24, 2012, Madonna took a livestream chat on Facebook with Jimmy Fallon.[96] She later made a brief appearance on Ultra Music Festival 14 in Miami on March 2012, where she introduced Swedish DJ Avicii and his remix of her single, "Girl Gone Wild".[97] Upon the album's sales drop in its second week, critics and fans criticized the lack of promotion and poor singles choices for the album. Through his Facebook, producer William Orbit expressed his displeasure of the album's poor promotion, and said that they had little time to record the album because Madonna's schedule was packed full of other commitments, such as "perfume ranges and teen fashion contests."[98][99] Orbit later apologized for the statement.[100]

Tour [edit]

Main article: MDNA Tour

Madonna announced her ninth concert tour on February 7, 2012.[101] The tour was launched on May 31 in Tel Aviv, Israel and ended in South America in December 2012. It marked her biggest tour ever with 90 shows and included many markets she had never played before. This tour played 32 dates in 28 European markets, including London, Rome, Milan, Paris, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Warsaw, Istanbul, Moscow and Berlin, before hitting North America with 45 shows. The tour was promoted by Live Nation Entertainment as part of a 360 deal.[102] On March 26, Madonna had confirmed the tour title, MDNA Tour via Twitter.[103] It became the highest-grossing tour of 2012 and 10th highest-grossing tour of all time, grossing $305.1 million in ticket sales for 88 sold-out shows.[104]
