Remixed and Revisited (2003)

EW's GRADE
C+

Details Release Date: Nov 25, 2003; Lead Performance: Madonna; Genre: Pop

Madonna has always had a successful second (third? eighth?) career as a remix artist, so it makes sense that she'd funk up failed singles from this year's ''American Life'' for this seven-song EP. Too bad, then, that none of these rock-leaning cuts will drive listeners to the dance floor, though props go to Headcleanr (of electronic duo Waterlillies), who gives the hippie-dippy ''Love Profusion'' and the arrhythmic ''American Life'' a dash of guitars. The one ''new'' song (''Your Honesty'') is actually a leftover from 1994's ''Bedtime Stories'' sessions, a bouncy lark that sounds more heartfelt than anything Madge has released in years.
