"Turn Up the Radio" is a song recorded by American recording artist Madonna for her twelfth studio album, ''MDNA'' (2012). It was written by Madonna, Martin Solveig, Michael Tordjman and Jade Williams, and produced by Madonna and Solveig. The song was released as the fourth and final single from the album on August 3, 2012. The single was also released as a digital EP, and included a remix featuring the group Far East Movement. A dance song with French house composition, "Turn Up the Radio" is an energetic song where Madonna asks the listener and herself to stop for a moment and escape the realities of life. "Turn Up the Radio" received generally positive reviews from music critics, most of whom deemed it as an album standout and complimented its production. It reached number one on the US ''Billboard'' Hot Dance Club Songs chart, extending Madonna's lead as the artist with the most number ones on that chart, at 43. However, "Turn Up the Radio" had minor placements in other nations, peaking at number 175 on the UK Singles Chart. An accompanying music video was shot in Italy, and directed by Tom Munro. It shows Madonna escaping the paparazzi on the back of a convertible. She travels throughout the city and the Italian countryside, while picking up men from the roadside and having a party on the car. The video received general acclaim from critics, who commended the simplicity of the video and labeled it as Madonna's most fun video in years. The song was included on the setlist of The MDNA Tour where she performed it while playing a guitar. ==Background and release== In December 2010, Madonna posted a message on her Facebook page, expressing willingness to record new music. She also stated that she was "on the lookut for the maddest, sickest, most badass people to collaborate with." One of the collaborators was French DJ and producer Martin Solveig, who was invited to a writing session by Madonna in London in July 2011. Originally, Madonna wanted to work with Solveig on one song, but eventually it turned into three tracks—"Give Me All Your Luvin'", "I Don't Give A" and "Turn Up the Radio". In an interview with ''Billboard'', Solveig explained that Madonna had ample amount of time to delve into the project, hence after working on one song, they continued recording. Solveig described the sessions as fun and labeled them a "privileged time". "Turn Up the Radio" was written by Madonna, Solveig, Michael Tordjman and British singer Jade Williams, best known as Sunday Girl. The existence of the song was first reported by a Madonna fan website in December 2011. It was originally recorded for Solveig's fifth studio album, ''Smash'' (2011), featuring lead vocals by Williams. However, the song was shelved in favor of their other collaboration called "Let's Not Play Games". Despite the track not appearing on Solveig's album, he still played the song live. On April 11, 2012, Madonna's manager Guy Oseary responded to a Madonna fan on Twitter, who was asking for the song to be a single from ''MDNA''. He replied saying the song "is feeling like the next single." The cover art was released on Madonna's official website on July 13, 2012. Before the single was released, Smirnoff released a seven-track digital remix EP titled ''MDNA: Nightlife Edition Remix EP'' in the UK to promote the album. It included three remixes of "Turn Up the Radio" by Leo Zero, Richard Vission and Marco V. The mixes by Zero and Vission were also included on the ''MDNA: Nightlife Edition'' of the album which was exclusively sold in the US. The single remix EP was released on August 3, 2012 in Australia and New Zealand, and August 5, 2012 in the United Kingdom.〔 The EP included remixes by Offer Nissim, Martin Solveig and R3hab. Madonna also collaborated with group Far East Movement, who featured on the Laidback Luke remix of the single. The song was serviced to contemporary hit radio in the United States by Interscope, on September 25, 2012.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Turn Up the Radio (Madonna song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
