If there's something Madonna has always done well, it is releasing many singles from each album. Love Profusion is the latest offering from American Life and is backed by another track from it, Nothing Fails.
The verses of clipped vocals over staccato, strummed Spanish guitar are repetitive and almost literally monotonous. The chorus moves into more melodic territory, but the banality of the lyrics ("And the love vibration / You make me feel / You make me shine") coupled with the dance beat "drums" leave the listener disengaged.
For the woman who brought us the likes of the sublime Live To Tell and more recent classics like Frozen, the verdict for Love Profusion can only be, "Could Do Better."
