A woman’s ‘self-absorption’ is considered a man’s ‘moving memoir’

Madonna, 'Turn Up The Radio' Video: Singer Takes A Sexy Joyride Around Italy In Heels & Hotpants. The lesson in Madonna's new video for "Turn Up the Radio": When the world starts to get you down, just take a drive through the Italian countryside with your attractive male driver. Oh, and don't forget pick up a few vagabonds along the way for an epic backseat dance party.

Madonna looks like she's truly living la dolce vita in the new music video for her latest MDNA single, "Turn Up the Radio." In the video, the Queen of Pop -- flashing major cleavage -- sits in the backseat of a vintage convertible and fist-pumps her way through the streets of Italy.

Madonna has always cleaved rigidly to the lyrical line that she remains a feckless, fun-loving young thing who lives only for music. Yet despite – or partly because of – the banality of the words, Turn Up The Radio is that precious entity that Madge still produces every now and then: a brilliant Holiday-style summer-friendly pop song.
