Finally, Enough Love

Madonna “I Don’t Search, I Find”

Madonna is the most Leo of all pop stars and this may be her most Leo song, a luxurious disco tune about finding a new lover who meets her very high standards, opening with the announcement: “Finally, enough love!” The song exudes confidence and power, but also a deep need to feel confident and powerful. It’s not a song about merely finding love – how ordinary – but selecting someone special and worthy of her desire, and able to give her the exact amount of love she requires.

“I Don’t Search, I Find” was written with the French producer Mirwais, who is best known for collaborating with her on most of Music. They still have a strong connection, but the sound doesn’t really call back to her early to mid ‘00s work so much as her vibe circa Erotica. Given her resistance to nostalgia for her back catalog, I’m sort of surprised this song even exists. But I’m glad it does – this sort of classy house aesthetic is one of her best modes, and as much as I appreciate her pushing herself creatively I’m more excited to hear her do something she can do better than anyone else.
