Whatever she does, it matters—right? Easy to forget that the ersatz Material Girl skillfully retooled her whole M.O. back in 1998, suddenly creating “serious music” in connection with William Orbit, right about the time she discovered yoga and Pilates. Ray of Light was actually a critical success, and 2000’s Music also had its fans among the mostly unreadable and spineless cognoscenti. We always thought the offerings were as thin on disk as they were on the runway, but hey, she’s an American Icon (uh, living presently with her British husband in the British Isles), and everything truly American always must have a hollow ring to it. We may sit this one out. We haven’t decided.
