Hi, I will be reviewing this article within a week's time. — HĐ (talk) 12:43, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Overall: The article is in pretty good shape and ready for GA. Some points need to be addressed nonetheless:


 * Lead
 * "MDNA consisted of both introspective as well as upbeat songs" → unclear contrast. Upbeat songs can be introspective sometimes
 * "Lyrically the record explored themes such as partying, love for music, infatuation, as well as heartbreak, revenge and separation" → comma + any other way to shorten this?
 * "The media noted that no further promotion was done for the record." → unnecessary
 * downtempo is a specific genre. I assume you want to refer to balladic songs here?
 * How does it look after a c/e? — IB [ Poke ] 20:50, 20 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Background
 * "films, food, and other topics" → What other topics? Either clarify or mention "films and food" only
 * Actually removed it altogether. — IB [ Poke ] 20:50, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Recording
 * Wikilink to "recording" is unnecessary
 * "outside always" → "always outside" sounds better imo
 * "European sensibilities" → you mean common interests in food and films? This part sounds a bit off
 * Rewrote. — IB [ Poke ] 20:50, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Music
 * " the work with Solveig" → I'd prefer "the songs/tracks". "The work" sounds off to me
 * "It featured cheer-leading chants between the verses" → present tense
 * "Madonna daily life" → possessive pronoun
 * I notice a lot of past tense sentences here (Madonna sang, featured...). I recommend changing them all to present tenses
 * I agree and rephrased. — IB [ Poke ] 20:50, 20 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Critical reception
 * I'd recommend trimming the first paragraph, which strikes as a quote farm
 * "Orbit's production received positive feedback from critics." → You can cut this and directly say "Orbit's production received positive feedback from ABC..."; "critics" is overtly used

I see no further issues. Passing this for GA status. Well done, especially since you have waited so long for this to be reviewed :) — HĐ (talk) 02:18, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
