10 reasons Madonna’s ‘Living for Love’ Video is her best in years.

Madonna‘s new video “Living for Love” debuted on Snapchat on Thursady, but we finally get to see it on Madonna Vevo channel in all its bull-baiting glory. Check it out why it’s her best single video since “Hung Up”, according to HITFIX.COM:

1. That unusual choreography with all of its masculine posturing and grappling. It’s like if Madonna joined the man-slave brawl at the end of the “Express Yourself” video.
2. That matador costume is gorgeous. Madonna’s idols Frida Kahlo and Marlene Dietrich would both covet it.
3. This is her Annie Lennox “Diva” moment. She’s accepting the role of a veteran and playing on familiar imagery from her career (“Take a Bow,” specifically) without forfeiting any of her signature nerve, headmistress grandeur, or ingenuity. She’s a raging stateswoman strutting on broken glass.
4. The song’s hymn vibe is a perfect match for the studied, solemn movements of a matador.
5. She looks incredible. That body! She’s like if Belinda Carlisle were an American Gladiator.
6. The sappiness and bullfighting theme give us reason to call her Earnest Hemingway. Just a thought.
7. She’s titillating those shirtless dudes as they sweat and claw beneath her. This is like if the “Open Your Heart” video turned into a cage match.
8. The pulsating redness gives the video a carnal and tender feel.
9. The slow-motion rose pedals are like something out of most glamorous De Beers commercial ever.
10. Of course Madonna is slaying minotaurs. She’s living mythology.

The Making of Madonna’s First Album Cover

Carin Goldberg — the art director behind Madonna’s debut album cover — spoke to the Cut about her first experience with the then-unknown pop star. It’s the first question that anybody asks me, even today: What was it like to work with Madonna? People think that maybe something dramatic or interesting or kind of wild might have happened, based on, you know, Madonna’s persona. But I would say that Madonna was probably the easiest job I ever had — the most cooperation from a recording artist I think I ever had. She was a true professional, even at that young age. It was ’83, and at that point I had my own small design firm. Warner Bros. called and asked me to do her cover as a freelance designer. When I got the call, I rolled my eyes, because it was another [musician with a] one-word name. At that time it had become cliché to have a one-word name, because of Cher, so I remember thinking, God, it’s going to be one of those. So I really went into it with very little expec...
