When releasing new music today, half the battle is online promotion. However, contests, signed merch and giveaways aren’t always the best solutions. When working on their latest album, Hedley came up with a brilliant idea, they decided to make trailers.
It’s hard to prepare for an interview with Hedley. So in this interview, we threw caution to the wind, got a 24 of beer and broadcast the interview live on our USTREAM (andPOP.tv). Eventually Jacob, Dave and @jordans_life ended up talking about hairy legs, their newest music video and more.

OK, Madonna, I?m still hung up on your Confessions.
Confessions on a Dancefloor sees the widely recognized Queen of Pop and leader of the homosexual population reinvent herself yet again ? this time as the leotard clad ruler of the disco-dance floor.
Madge released the glitzy album, her 10th studio record, in late 2005 and it debuted at number one on Billboard?s Top 200 and in 25 other countries around the world.
“Hung Up”, the album?s first single, quickly shot to number one on charts around the world as well. The track, the best of the 12 on the album, was hugely popular in clubs thanks to the flying melody, brassy beat and catchy lyrics (“Every little thing that you say or do/I’m hung up/I’m hung up on you/Waiting for your call/Baby night and day/I’m fed up/I’m tired of waiting on you”).
“Get Together” and “Sorry” keep the dance spirit alive, as each song blends into another for the dance floor effect. “Sorry” is rumoured to be Madonna?s next single and she’ll film the music video in January with one of her long time choreographers. Expect more spandex bodysuits and some serious male-bashing (“You?re not half a man you think you are/Save your words because you?ve gone too far/And listen to your lies and all your stories,” Madonna sings).
“Let It Be” signals the middle stretch of the album, where the listener is advised to settle in for a smooth, trance-like ride. “Forbidden Love” is one of the stronger tracks on the album. The soft, even beats sooth while Madonna softly moans, “If I only had one wish/Love would always feel like this/Wishin’ on the stars above/Forbidden love/If I only had one dream/This would be more than it seems.”
The track blends seamlessly into “Jump”, where a stronger tempo makes this song fun and sensual to move to. If it hits clubs, look for crowds to follow Madonna?s lead and jump along with her chorus.
So now Confessions is flying along when Madonna hits us with “Isaac.” The track opens with slithering Hebrew chants which jolt listeners out of their trance. The song takes on religious undertones, but will find success in the mainstream with the message to stand against whatever tests come your way. The unique sound the chants add should also make this song a successful single if released.
The funky, deep rhythms of “Push” make for another great track. The tempo switches between languid movements to an upbeat chorus where Madonna affirms “Every race I win, every mood I?m in/Everything I do, I owe it all to you/Every move I make, every step I take/Every thing I do, it?s all because you push me.”
The only really disappointing song on Confessions is “I Love New York.” The shallow lyrics (“I don’t like cities, but I like New York/Other places make me feel like a dork”) aren?t enhanced by an uneven beat that echoes frantically. And Madonna ? you don?t even live in New York so what are you talking about?
This is a quality comeback album and obviously a must-own for Madonna fans. But, any fan of dance or pop music will still get plenty of pleasure from the enthralling rhythms, body shaking beats and sensual vocals provided by Madonna’s Confessions.
