Maybe she should release a single called #nohats!

not a slow song gawd....a big time dance tune with crazy adele singing her ass off....lol but i was kidding so calm thy fuck down.
after all of this talk in here...i am super interested in what Madonna will come up with next.
Has Adele ever done a big dance song? Doesn't seem like her style.
-
That would never work, Madonna has one of the most unique distinctive voices in music. Everyone not just us fans would immediately recognize it.

When Cher had a hit with Believe, there wasn't streaming. I wonder how Believe would have charted today in the age of streaming.
Have there been any older artists who have had huge chart hits since the inclusion of streaming in the charts?

She should just release it when she is finished with it and is happy with it. She shouldn't rush it out to meet some anniversary or her birthday, but on the other hand she shouldn't hold on to it if it's finished waiting for some special date or time to capitalize on. I think some fans get all worked up about anniversaries but a lot of people in the general public don't really notice them.
Just make the best album she can and release it when it's ready without all the calculation of some special right date.

She actually has done a lot of older hits, although not always in the same tour and not always in the original version. But most of the time it tends towards the 80's material, and forgets the later ones. I know people are obsessed with 80's culture and fashion, but I would love to hear more stuff from the 90's since we never had a Bedtime Stories or Ray of Light tour.

IDK, she did RIT with more hits than she had in awhile and it put her back on the map. GH tours create a lot of good will. People, who may not ordinarily buy a new album, leave happy. It may make them more receptive to her new music. In any case, she is entering a phase where her new music is not going to sell all that well. Her profile is very low right now. If she tours again with mostly new material, she'll do less $$$ than RHT. Which is fine but I hate to see her touring prowess diminish when it was the one thing she was still dominating. When most people tour, they tour with their hits mixed in with new material. I respect if she doesn't want to do a GH tour. I just think the time is now if she were to do one. She is still young enough to dazzle with dancing and singing.
I guess it depends on how you define a Greatest Hits tour. I don't see RIT as a Greatest Hits tour. Touring with a mix of new and older material is not a Greatest Hits tour. To me a Greatest Tour is one promoted as such with primarily Hits with just one or two new songs. But if she wants a new album to be successful, you have to perform the new songs. To say the way to make people buy a new album is by not performing most of it and just do older songs, is counter intuititive to me. People love hearing Hits and that would make people have a positive view of her and make her a lot of money but I don't see it causing any new albums to be more successful.

She needs to repair her brand and name. She's done it before, masterfully, after the Sex book backlash and again after AL backlash. I think she tried with RH but it fell just shy of taking with the public. I really think she should do a GH tour and leverage some of the $$$$ to get great promo/payola/great press.
I just want a BAD ASS album that blows the critics away. She needs a masterpiece. I don't give a shit if it only sells 9 copies.
Don't think it works that way. Once you do a Greatest Hits tour, people will expect you to do one every time you tour, which is why she is probably reluctant to do one. Lots of artists do Greatest Hits tours, it usually doesn't lead to greater success for their new albums. The money they make goes to them personally which is great if you need it, but it doesn't convince labels to do more promotion. If anything it's the opposite it gets you off the track of being a contemporary artist releasing new music and pigeonholes you as just a Hits artist. Labels will say well, people only want to hear older stuff so why should we invest in your new album?

On one of the videos she wrote All's Well that Ends Well. That's the second time she wrote that. Could it possibly be a song title?
It sounds so amazing. Definitely a new chapter in her career.
-
I'm not clear what the wedding g dress look is for. It doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the MDNA Skin campaign, but it seems too early for a video or other album visuals. Maybe it's for a third thing. Perhaps a portfolio shoot for a magazine?

You talk about the momentum of the Met Gala, but it wasn't as though it was nationally televised and everyone saw it. In fact, people were complaining here it didn't get enough coverage. It was a nice treat for us fans, but I honestly don't see that it created that much hype that you could really build on.
I know we all want information and tidbits, but she did that with Rebel Heart and it didn't really work. I personally want her to put out music and a look she is fully happy with and not be rushed because of some supposed need to cash in on the Met Gala performance.

Those lyrics do not sound remotely like anything Madonna would ever write. The post reads like it was written by someone who has never listened to a Madonna record in their life.
The lyrics there are too specific. Madonna's lyrics are much more general, universal and could apply to many different people and situations. Although she has talked about political issues in interviews and concert speeches, typically her lyrics aren't political in that way, but only in a general humanistic sense, not judging others, being true to yourself, expressing yourself etc. Even American Life the lyrics aren't reallly political in the conventional sense, but more about questioning materialism and religion.

I love her Instagram the way it is. I love that she is real and shows her personality.
I love spectacle too but a lot of people use that against her to say she can't sing or her music isn't good enough, and she has to rely on that. I think the scaled back feeling of the RHT got her a lot of respect among casual fans and it would be good to continue in that direction to get people to focus on the music and her personal charisma.
-
Another thing that would be cool if she did a track by track commentary of each song on the album. I've listened to these that some artists have done on Spotify and they are really interesting and give you insight into the music. It allows you to go into detail that a lot of press interviews don't.

I really enjoyed her on Ellen. It’s kind of mind boggling that people didn’t. Her performances of JOA and Ghosttown were pretty fucking great. And the Dress You Up skit was pure Madonna. Sure, the interview wasn’t that good but none of Ellen’s interviews are.
I’d personally like to see her do a sit down interview with Cynthia McFadden again. They’ve always had great chemistry and Cynthia seems to ‘get her’.
And I don’t care how cliche it is, but she should do a big live production on one of the morning shows like Today or Good Morning America. Anyone who does those seems to get great press afterwards (or shit press, deepening on how good/bad it is)
Yes, I don't get the hate against Ellen either. Basically any show where she gets to perform rather than just do an interview is great. Her charisma really comes out when she performs. Her interviews can be good, but she actually is introverted sometimes in her off stage persona which can come off as cold if she doesn't connect with the interviewer.
I love seeing her on tv but you have to realize because of the rise of streaming not as many people watch regular tv like they used to. Years ago, when a big name performer did a tv performance everyone would be talking about it the next day. That doesn't happen as much anymore.
The only tv appearance that has a huge effect is an event that everyone watches like the Super Bowl, the World Cup or the Olympics. I don't know if any of those big events are coming up to tie in with the new album.
-
I would say it's likely to be a shorter album this time, not a double album, given that she hasn't been working on it for that long.
I don't think it will be all electro dance although it will have some elements of that. Mirwais' work has had other elements, acoustic, even pop rock, singer songwriter sounds.
-
All of those suggestions are really good! They should definitely hire you! That is what I call truly constructive criticism. Acknowledging she isn't perfect but not being nasty about it, with your love for her shining through. My biggest wish for this era is to have her on the thick fall September issue of Vogue!
-
I' m sure it will be brilliant! My only worry is we won't get to actually see or hear it in good quality because they don't allow cameras there!
-
How many times has he heard the new song? With new songs no matter who the artist is sometimes you have to hear them multiple times for you to like them.
-
I wonder how many songs she will do? Maybe 3 or 4? 2 old songs, the new song Magic and a cover! Here's hoping!

I wouldn’t mind her doing a residency tour either, like Björk did. Maybe in like 8-12 cities worldwide. She needs to build demand back up as her live revenues have been declining. This is a way to do that, but the show would have to be spectacular. Then she could do a large scale tour for the next album.
I think that would be a great idea. It would give more fans the chance to see her, including those who aren't able to travel long distances while still performing in smaller venues. Performing in smaller venues would give her a chance to do a different kind of softer music that might not sound good in stadiums and arenas. Fans complain about her uptempo dance heavy direction of recent years, but a lot of that was driven by the fact that she was touring a lot in larger venues which are more suited to that kind of music. When she did more ballads in the 90s touring wasn't as important and she wasn't touring as much.

Here's an article on past Met Ball performances. It does seem they are pretty brief, just one song.

Doing a performance with dancers and singing Hallelujah don't seem to go together. I don't see how both of those can be true.
But I can see her doing a cover. I don't think the Met Gala is the ideal place to promote a brand new song since it's not open to the public or nationally televised.

I really feel people are blowing the Instagram out of proportion. It's something we focus on because we look at her Instagram a lot, but I really don't think the general public pays all that much attention.
So what if there's an unflattering selfie? I find that quite refreshing actually. I think social media makes a lot of people feel insecure because everyone looks perfect and you start to think what is wrong with me, that I don't look that way all the time. I think it's good she doesn't promote the tyranny of physical perfection.
On to everyone's favorite topic, the hair! I would like a change but I'm not convinced an all dark color would look good. I think it might be harsh and not photograph well. I think it would be cool if she had a slighter darker medium brown base but still have some lighter pieces, like in honey or caramel at the ends.
We want her to be a good witch or sorcerers for positive change not an evil looking scary witch!

Is the Hey Amen clip she is singing part of a new song, or just random singing? It has the call and response feeling of what she did with the Cape Verde singers.
She also posted on her Instagram story, we are the granddaughters of the witches you could not burn, which fits in with the Magic witch theme. That was tagged with #heyamen.
Very appropriate for me since I'm apparently the witch of the forum who some people want to burn at the stake!
