The Queen of pop has returned with American Life, and as with every release from Madonna, you can be sure there'll be some good tunes on board along with a few dancy floorfillers. And, as always with Madge, you can also guarantee that the majority of the tracks will be released as singles. In her transition from sultry little pop tease to an acceptable to everyone middle aged mum, Madonna has over the years realised what makes a good tune and harnessed it to the max. This offering is no exception and along with Mother and Father' and Nothing Fails' she is once again heading for a huge seller.
