Cesky replied to Danmacevents's topic in ARCHIVE - The MADAME X Forum
Haha I know we've teased for a bit but just a reminder this was filmed literally only two weeks ago lolz -
Madame X: Discussion (LISTENING PARTY info within)
Cesky replied to poprock's topic in ARCHIVE - The MADAME X Forum
I think some people have different concepts of what's midtempo, uptempo, etc. It makes it difficult to match expectations and descriptions from other people I can't believe some people don't think Medellin and Future are uptempo Like, I get that they aren't Music, but c'mon -
Madame X: Discussion (LISTENING PARTY info within)
Cesky replied to poprock's topic in ARCHIVE - The MADAME X Forum
It will? Based on what? lol A lot of people like the songs released so far, especially Medellin and Crave, which have been chosen as the first two singles. And these (few) people who are suggesting that there are some of the best tracks still to be heard aren't saying "the album is brilliant except for the four so-so songs released," I'm pretty positive these people like the first 4 songs as well. -
Yes, in terms of both writing and production, this is just Madonna and Mirwais. There are five such tracks on Madame X: Dark Ballet, God Control, Killers Who Are Partying, Extreme Occident, and I Don't Search I Find (six if you include Batuka where David has a writing credit).

It's almost exactly 24 hours later so maybe there was a contractual waiting period?
-
Yes, in the sense that that date leaked out with the ones for I Rise, Crave, and Future, which all turned out to be correct.
-
The slight upside (hey, got to be positive!) of the negative reaction to Eurovision is that I think Crave can proceed as the clear second single without confusion. If it had all gone over better there might have been confusion about Future v. Crave. My guess would be that if Madonna does talk shows with performance around the album release, Crave will be the song she performs.

We are SO FORTUNATE to have this era upon us
Cesky replied to air1975's topic in ARCHIVE - The MADAME X Forum
At a complete minimum we have the Crave music video soon and Dark Ballet out on June 7. I'd guess more traditional promo (talkshows, a performance or two) around the album release. -
Probably about 6PM
-
There's nothing political about the song? What do you think this song is about? The snippets we've seen from the Eurovision rehearsals also make it seem like she's taking the performance to a political place.

This comes from the fact that if you Shazam the trailer it comes up as Extreme Occident. And then the lyrics from that clip and the ones she quoted in her GLAAD speech seem to fit together. -
I love some of the lyrics in this! I told you not to waste your time I'm not a girl you drink like wine If you press pause then I'll retreat I will not grovel at your feet Please don't fall in love with me I would rather be set free I can not give you my all I will not make my self small That's gold

I feel like this might be the most Madame X-y track yet! The influence isn't latin, but we have the world music piece with the dancehall elements. And then really for the first time in the four tracks so far, we get some political themes. I get why sonically some people think this isn't the best fit for Eurovision, but it definitely allows her to make a statement in a way that I'm excited about. I predict God Control/Future/Batuka to be a really amazing political, world beat crescendo!

Madame X: Album Discussion

It's possible, but I think one city will have to be after LA (probably Vegas or Miami) -
Madame X: Album Discussion
Cesky replied to motherandfather03's topic in ARCHIVE - The MADAME X Forum
Likely one or two of the remaining US cities will be in December -
Maybe Madonna requested not to be listed as to maintain some level of 'surprise'?

"Crave" thread. Official video out TODAY!
Cesky replied to Danmacevents's topic in ARCHIVE - The MADAME X Forum
In what universe are you posting the link again thinking that it's ok? -
We don't know whether she's been rehearsing for months or not, and the metgala was a full year ago.
-
If she really has 15 mins she could even do Medellin, Crave, Future, LAP, and another additional classic (Music? Hung Up?) given that it's common to shorten the songs in this type of setting (like the Superbowl).

"Crave" thread. Official video out TODAY!
Cesky replied to Danmacevents's topic in ARCHIVE - The MADAME X Forum
I think Medellin is still the primary push until this video is out to formally 'launch' Crave as a single. -
I'm curious to see what exactly she does. There are various ways to approach this. For example, the Icelandic entry is very political and see performing as an opportunity to shine light in some way on anti-fascism v. not performing at all. I think both that approach and boycotting are valid. I just would hope that Madonna makes some kind of clear statement. Denouncing violence and advocating for peace is good, but it risks falling into 'both sides' messaging. One side is occupying the other, one side is carrying out an apartheid.

They count toward certification but not toward first week sales.
