Madonna's New Single 'Celebration' Released

Madonna's new single Celebration has been released on the internet to the delight of Madonna fans everywhere.

Once upon a time, a budding dancefloor philosopher named Madonna released her very first single, “Everybody,” and commanded her minions thusly: “Come on, take a chance/ Get up and start the dance/ Let the D.J. shake you/ Let the music take you.” Twenty-six years and over one billion crunches later, Ms. Ciccione is still pleading with the masses to shake their groove things with “Celebration,” the title track from her forthcoming greatest hits compilation that hit the Internet today.

“Celebration” is unapologetically dance-y, which means two things: I’m sitting here at my desk typing faster than usual and throwing in the occasional shoulder shimmy (fun!) while doing it. And secondly, the track is unlikely to make much headway at disco-phobic U.S. radio because apparently America does not like to get it percolatin’ in this dancerie. Ah well. No matter, Madge loyalists will be inevitably downloading this one and playing it on repeat in their cars, on the treadmill, even in their minds as they’re sleeping.

It is the first single off her Greatest Hits album, and seems to be getting a good reception so far, many are saying it's a return to her roots and sounds like the Madonna of the 90s.

The single is produced by Paul Oakenfold, who has worked with Ice Cube, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince and U2.
