DRIVE, BITCH :: Although Madonna’s been busy on tour for the past couple of months, Madonnaologist, Philip Tetro has something new to pray about: Madonna‘s new video for her latest single, “Turn Up The Radio”!
This morning, Madonna officially released the video for the third single off MDNA, “Turn Up The Radio.”
The video, shot last month in Italy while she was there on her MDNA Tour, follows the singer coming out of her hotel to a mob of fans and paparazzi, as she escapes to a car. Her driver drives through the streets to pick up a gaggle of Madonna’s friends along the way while real fans scream her name and take pictures.
Madonna is evidently having a ton of fun, pointing to, singing with and embracing the army of people following her. Her eyes are filled with joy, and she looks younger and more beautiful than ever in all black, with legs and cleavage for days. A golden crucifix accessorizes her bust and a black headband keeps her hair voluminous.
The cut of the song is longer than the album version and the added, real sound effects of traffic, screams, camera clicks and flashes make for a really interesting soundtrack to the beautiful Italian city roads and streets. Madonna looks like an Italian movie star, and the video ends with her driver telling her that the party’s over and to put her seat-belt on. I guess even Madonna’s parties end sometime.
