Today, it’s a new, less well-known title that is starting to make the buzz: “Back That Up To The Beat”. A title with a turbulent history known to the greatest fans of the Madonna. Produced by Pharrell Williams, this song was originally written during the sessions for the album “Hard Candy” (2008) but was not retained for the final tracklist. Seven years later, the track made a comeback as one of the tracks that leaked well ahead of his album release. “Rebel Heart”before an official release as a bonus track from his latest album “Madame X”. On TikTok, it is the “demo” version dating from 2015, and therefore the recording sessions of “Rebel Heart”, which was favored by Internet users and which is officially released today on streaming platforms.
We find there the gimmicks of Pharrell Williams (the beginning in four beats), on this hybrid title filled with funk guitars and festive lyrics: I’ll drink Krug Ros and sometimes Lemon Drops / I’ll wear diamond grills and Louboutins a lot / Sometimes I can be extreme, I’ll never stop / Keep the party going, we’ll dance till we drop . Note that a “sped up” version (ie accelerated, a process that is strangely very popular on TikTok) is also available on Spotify.
