Madonna - Burning Up (1981 Stephen Bray Demo)

[playmobil48]

Hung up mash-up? ..maybe? it would be sick :)

[Olivia2011ish]

Her voice is so strong!! I love it

[MrTizgo]

Thats hot as fuck !!!! Damn this us super mega cool !!!!!! Woaaaaaaooooooww

[missalisonhamiltonUK]

This is great on so many levels that i cannot even begin to communicate how simply perfect this early madge track is. I prefer this to the ones we are more familiar with, her vocal ange in this song shows what she would be capable of later on. Amazing and thank you to posting this =o)

[mshappyheart]

OMG...I'm burnin' up with this song - sooo L-U-V it!!!

[betterisbest]

Would have been so fantastic if Madonna had continued in this new wave like style...but big contracts would come through mainstream catchy songs and easygoing rhymes....well, I suppose, we can't underground music together with big carrers, can we??? Still, this style would fit her voice and image much more....

[TommyChevyBugle]

this guy was another dude that didnt do anyting with himself after suceess of a artist

[frozencool117]

I like this one better than her album version, I like the more rocker style in this one.

[freewilly030303]

This sounds better than the official one

[Tagg63]

She should def reteam with Stephen...he's very talented. He did the music for the Color Purple on Broadway among other things.

[getnervousedy]

This is just so good as the original it's fucking white hot..!!!!! LOVE IT, LOVE IT.!!!!

Thank you for posting this track..!!!!!!

[TheMiller09]

THANK U MADONNA 

[kazzymoviefan]

This is really a very good demo, I feel it's also better than her original but I love that one too... wish she stuck to this one more.

This version sounds like it was the inspiration for the 'Re-inventiion tour version' which I think is amazing, it's got so much energy to it!

[jeuleud]

I really love that very rock/new wave version, even with all the (charming) defects in The Queen's voice. More than a "potential" was already present 30 years ago!!!

Amazing, VERY BIG THANKS 2U GentlyBlipMe!

[WispierTetrahedrons]

Wow, way better than the album version, and I love that version.

[carlosmiller]

Madonna was much better before.............I miss the old Madonna!

[Goldie4tv]

@carlosmiller

well people grow up!!!! she would be an idiot if she'd stayed the same as this like soooo many 'artists'

[carlosmiller]

@Goldie4tv I agree with you, and she was smart and changed her style accordingly, we all have to move on, but I just said that I prefer the old Madonna............Eventhough I still think she is a great artist!

[HaightStreetGroovy]

This is an older version of "Burning up" like 1979-1980 version.This is AWESOME!!!!

[FoodSexRecords]

SUPERB

[paskulero]

Icredible.

I'm agree with u "almamatters2471" This is as good if no better than her curret stuff.

I'd like she took some of her old style to make her new album.

[SeeFreeNews]

It's like listening to a piece of history....she did make history! Two thumbs up...

[TheLifeisgood12345]

Great song.....love the old stuff! 

[eyzonm3]

FUCK I LOVE THIS SONG!! I LOVE THIS MORE THAN THE 83' VERSION!

[7OLGA7]

I love this version much more than the original one.

[vero219]

Fantastic version...I Love this song!!

[dantechnoremix]

can you imagine how this would have put the u.s. on the map for synth electro goodness..this shit in 2010 is still ahead of it's time

[eyzonm3]

@dantechnoremix that is sooo TRUE!!!

[playbic15]

i really want her to do a rock/alternative/new wave album!!

[CIGARPIGSKIN6]

AWESOME! love this version

[AyahuaskaPop]

Thanks!!!

[DirtyDianasReallyBad]

This Song Is Amazing!!! I Love Every Version Of This Song!! <3

[TarantulaCandy]

funny how she would basically prefer the rock version later on the re-invention tour in 2004...she did go back to her roots afterall.....

[RamonExtraordinaire]

This is better than the one version that was on the album. This should've been released as an alternate mix.

[donnieb69us]

She's come a long way....not always for the best

[Mothra61]

This song reminds me of The Cars. Even the music video does.

[wwwmmacommentscom]

Yeah I like this version too

[misterashley]

as a hardcore fan this is my favorite version on this ass kicking song. I almost feel like I'm seeing her live at CBGB's!

[mseales]

i always liked this track but damn this mix REALLY owns.

[jdugena]

wow -- this sounds better than the mainstream one with the video

[barbicanangel]

one of her best songs- but her forst album will aways be a classic foor me.

love stephen bray too

thanks 4 this

[almamatters2471]

I hear this and I think about early Madonna, living in a roach motel, eating popcorn for dinner and dancing the night away in the clubs...It is also hard to deny that Bray had a huge part of her success in those early years. I hope he made some money off of these tracks, they are as good if not better than her current stuff. Cheers.

[GentlyBlipMe]

I agree. I think Stephen got kinda shafted as far as what he should have gotten from those years, but at least he was smart enough to make peace with her early on and because of that was able to collaborate with her for songs later on like "Express Yourself" and "True Blue" which he definitely made money on.

[dmatanes]

Burning Up is still my favorite Madonna song, and this version is the best one done. Thanks very much!

[GentlyBlipMe]

I agree! Burning Up is best done super rock style. Thanks!
