MDNA (album)

MDNA is the twelfth studio album by American singer-songwriter Madonna. It was released on March 23, 2012, by Live Nation Entertainment and Interscope Records. It is also Madonna's first album not to be associated with Warner Bros. Records, the label she was signed to since 1982. As well as Madonna producing the album she worked with a variety of producers such as Alle Benassi, Benny Benassi, Demolition Crew, Free School, Michael Malih, Indiigo, William Orbit and Martin Solveig. MDNA lyrically explores themes such as partying, the drug MDMA, love for music, infatuation, heartbreak, revenge and separation.

The album received generally positive reviews from music critics. Upon its release, it debuted at number one in many countries worldwide, becoming her eighth album to top the Billboard 200 chart and giving her a record for the most number-one albums by a solo artist in Australia and the United Kingdom. It became the world's twelfth best-selling album of 2012 and has since sold over two million copies worldwide. Madonna went on to win three trophies at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards.

Change!

Change! is the second full-length album by the Black Swans. It is a follow-up to 2004's Who Will Walk in the Darkness with You? and their 2006 EP, Sex Brain. Harp Magazine described the album as a tip of the hat to Charles Simic, the Left Banke, and Fred Neil.

Musicians

  • Jerry DeCicca - acoustic guitar, vocals, electric guitar on "Purple Heart"
  • Change (Tears for Fears song)

    "Change" is a song by the British band Tears for Fears. Written by Roland Orzabal and sung by bassist Curt Smith, it was the band's fourth single release. It would eventually become the second hit from their debut LP The Hurting (1983) and second UK Top 5 chart hit, following the success of "Mad World". The song also gave Tears for Fears their first charting single in America when it cracked the Billboard Top 100 in August 1983. "Change" was also a big international success, reaching the Top 40 in numerous countries.

    Meaning

    Song versions

    The 7" version of "Change" is the same mix of the song found on The Hurting, but in a slightly edited form. An extended remix of the song is showcased as the lead track on the 12" single. While many copies of the 12" single use the 7" mix of the song as one of the b-sides, some feature an altogether different recording. Although uncredited on the singles themselves, this mix is labeled the "New Version" on the UK cassette release of The Hurting, where it was included as a bonus track. Featuring an alternate set of lyrics, this version actually predates the 7" mix, despite its title.

    Change (Vanessa Amorosi album)

    Change is the second studio album by Vanessa Amorosi, released in Germany in 2002. It peaked at number 64 on the German Top 100. After one week the album dropped off the chart. The CD was set to be released in Australia, but it remains unreleased there for unknown reasons.

    The CD also contains copy protection.

    Change The Tune

    by: Jason & The Scorchers

    CHANGE THE TUNE
    All your old heroes are calling a bluff.
    Now you're out making messes in the name of love.
    All your old newspapers collecting dust,
    there's nothing in them you ain't read about anyway.
    Giving a nickel and stealing a dime,
    drinking champagne when you thinking it's wine.
    There's more to all this than just touches and time
    and even your heroes are learning it everyday.
    The time has come to change the tune.
    You think it's morning but it's late afternoon.
    All your old habits will be given up too soon.
    The time has come to change the tune.
    You say you've seen it before in the eyes of the brave:
    a later tomorrow and an earlier grave.
    It's one thing to borrow, another to save.
    Just when will you follw and just when will you stay.
    Going down highways not lit so well.
    Now they're making it something that's easy to sell.
    Maybe I'm saying what I shouldn't tell
    'cause even your heroes are wondering what to say.
    The time has come to change the tune.
    You think it's morning but it's late afternoon.
    All your old habits will be given up too soon.
    The time has come to change the tune.
