Madonna - Confessions On A Dance Floor (2006) ☆☆☆☆☆

After American Life (2003) wasn't as well-received by critics as Madonna and her fans are accustomed, there was concern that she had finally reached the end of commercial success after 2 decades. Of course, anyone who thought that was wrong and should have expected as such! Madonna came back better than ever with shiny red hair, tights, and a disco dance floor. The lead single, Hung Up, samples ABBA's mega hit "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! A Man After Midnight" and pulses an irresistible beat - leading us into her Confessions On A Dance Floor.

I love the fact that it's "on a dance floor" instead of "on the dance floor". To me, that evokes a sense of manic - as if she's searching for anything to take her mind off of whatever it is that led her here tonight and she'll take anything, as long as the bass is pumping. I believe this album is very successful in the imagery it is trying to get across. The sound matches the photos and booklet design which really elevates the whole project. The moment the album begins and all the way through, I feel as though I am in a foggy, dark, colorful, pumping club, and it's a great feeling!

The entire album is very cohesive, down to the "nonstop" way that the tracks blend into each other (just like old disco albums). It gives off being very well thought out and put together which makes for an excellent listening experience.

Standout tracks include: Hung Up, Sorry, How High and Push.

Lyrics:

Je suis désolé

Lo siento

Ik ben droevig

Sono spiacente

Perdóname

I've heard it all before

I've heard it all before

I've heard it all before

I've heard it all before

[repeat]

I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know

Please don't say you're sorry

I've heard it all before

And I can take care of myself

I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know

Please don't say 'forgive me'

I've seen it all before

And I can't take it anymore

You're not half the man you think you are

Save your words because you've gone too far

I've listened to your lies and all your stories (Listen to your stories)

You're not half the man you'd like to be

I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know

Please don't say you're sorry

I've heard it all before

And I can take care of myself

I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know

Please don't say 'forgive me'

I've seen it all before

And I can't take it anymore

Don't explain yourself cause talk is cheap

There's more important things than hearing you speak

Mistake me cause I made it so convenient

Don't explain yourself, you'll never see

Gomen nasai

Mujhe maaf kardo

Przepraszam

Slihah

Forgive me...

I've heard it all before

I've heard it all before

I've heard it all before

[repeat]

I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know

Please don't say you're sorry

I've heard it all before

And I can take care of myself

I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know

Please don't say 'forgive me'

I've seen it all before

And I can't take it anymore

I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know

Please don't say you're sorry

(Don't explain yourself cause talk is cheap)

I've heard it all before, And I can take care of myself

(There's more important things than hearing you speak)

I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know

Please don't say 'forgive me'

i'm still a slut for animalics

i'm back with more! as we enter a new year, i've realized nothing will ever top my love of animalics. to me this is the peak of femininity--not florals or gourmands, but the raw sex appeal of this perfume category embodies every thing i want to be. and this time i'm upping the ante. we're moving away from softer musks and honey notes, instead we're going full blown sweaty and skanky with cumin, and civet. these are difficult and they're supposed to be. so to make things more interesting we're gonna explore older, vintage animalics versus newer animalics and see how they differ and compare.

vintage animalics are notable for their use of animal products. the practice has been thankfully discontinued but i can't lie and say i don't smell the difference. they were richer, dirtier and overall more potent. therefore if you want the full experience i recommend ebay, facebook marketplace, vinted and estate sales for older bottles.

(1932) the oldest on the list, tabu was beloved by old hollyword stars for its sultry, spicy ultra-feminine scent. crafted by perfumer jean carles, he was reportedly given the scandalous instructions to make a perfume for "whores" and that he did! its lush and rich, projecting far and making an appearence before you step into the room. a favorite of dorothy dandridge it's no surprise this was favored by many a screen siren. however i suggest you look on ebay for vintage versions as theyre easy to come by and aren't too expensive. the new reformulations just don't cut it!

(1944) femme rochas is next, this scent was famously worn by mae west and its shapely bottle matches her figure perfectly. the peach mimics soft, warm skin and its spiciness adds depth and sensuality. a perfume that makes you want to wear nothing else. while vintage bottles are best, the modern reformulations are also lovely.

(1944) another 40s creation, bandit isnt as favored as fracas (notably worn by stars like madonna) as it's more androgynous, edgy and quite frankly tough. perfect for marlene dietrich who was known for her transgressive roles and star power. bandit is a vetiver forward fragrance with a rich leather and civet drydown. this isn't for the frivolous type. if you wear this you're on top.

(1962) bal à versailles is extremely animalic. deep, spicy and resinous it's a highly polarizing scent. the powdery notes are either cloying or comforting, and this is one where all reformulations are pretty good, but there's enough differences where some prefer one over the others. as vintage as it gets and not for the faint of heart.

we're gonna break away from the old girls (affectionate, reverent) and we're gonna meet the new hussies. these animalics are created with synthetic animalics or by replicating it with non animal scents like cumin. don't sleep on these, as they're staying strong in a wave of florals and gourmands.

(2006) kicking off this century we have putain des palaces, another perfume for whores (it's name translates to palace whore) and its made to envoke a whore's boudoir: lace, powder, skin musk. her nightly routine. its a sensuous fantasy, and it's powdery notes make her delicate, and skinlike.

(2012) mad madam is a very carnal rose. well its not just the rose, but the whole bush thorns and all. it's like you stumbled out scratched and a little bloodied after an illfated idea to take a tumble. it has a nice greenness to them, very sexy and luscious. its dirty earthiness gives it an edge over other roses.

(2015) here we have salome. and this is a raunchy girl befitting her name. to many this smells like straight up sex, or at the very least how you smell after having sex and you put on a fur coat instead of a robe. the florals come in and give it a bit of class but not much, and its dry and sweaty and honestly? a little perverse. an animalic very much in the vein of her foremothers.

(2017) you thought i wouldn't add another scent by the queen of animalics?? well this time we're venturing into under my skin by francesca bianchi. this is sensual, warm, and completely fits its name with its skinlike scent. this isnt clean skin but it isnt dirty skin either, this is the human smell of your body after its sweated in the warm sun. blends well and and settles smoothly like all her other creations.

(2021) now in this decade we have rosenrot intense, created by the metal band rammstein . this perfume is odd in a good way, this is animalic by way of a tiger with a bloodied face after a feast. but dont be too scared of the blood note, it's really not that prominent i just like exaggerating. i'd say the incense note is more prominent, making this more of a smoky animalic rose with a slight metallic undercurrant.

(2024) les cahiers secrets is a perfume with a backstory catered to me. the brand jouissance based it's scents over female erotica writers, and this one in particular is based on anais nin. it's another powdery skin scent. and i don't mean skin scent as in close and soft, but in that it mimics skin. it's slightly sweaty, and the mid notes give it a makeupy scent. perfect for banging out smut for a dollar a page.

(2024) i'm not gonna lie and say black dog is easy (or well...good) but it's interesting. the durian note makes it a rough opener, but it settles into something darker, more mysterious and a little gothic as the licorice and animalic notes of the base come out. i'd be scared of this one, but intrigued.

(2024) lastly we have super sexy skunk, another rough go from d.grayi but also very interesting! it's cannabis notes are potent, and thats where the skunk widely comes from. but its almost nostalgic like being in the back of a nissan altima smoking weed way too young. it truly is super sexy, and also very dangerous with its oud and animal notes. even the chocolate gives it some edge.
