Madonna - Music DVD

Madonnas obsession with all things English comes to something of a head on the video for her single "Music", taken from the album of the same name, as she dons the gold jewellery and cowboy hat of the garage set and hangs out with Ali G. With controversial video director Jonas Akerland at the helm, Madonna has never looked trashier as she pouts and writhes around in the back of a stretch limo, champagne glass in hand, as her chauffeur, Mr G himself, tries to keep his eyes on the road.Renowned for his rather more explicit videos for the Prodigy ("Smack My Bitch Up")... and The Cardigans ("My Favourite Game"), the only taste crimes that Akerland commits here are those of fashion. Having worked with Madonna previously on the video for "Ray of Light", here Akerland combines live action with garish animation, the videos tacky stylings complementing the songs disco sensibilities perfectly. Ali G even manages to achieve the seemingly impossible by being funny in a music video, a sure sign of the mans comedic talent. Big up the Staines Massive. --Helen Marquis [show more]
