    No other pop star would dare in today’s cancel culture. This video just reiterates Madonna’s place as our most culturally-significant entertainer. She is creating a much-needed conversation about gun legislation under the guise of pop music. She makes people think. She makes people debate. She could rest on her laurels, head to Vegas, perform her beloved hits, and record a covers album. Instead, in the fourth decade of her illustrious career, she serves us a visual feast like God Control on a platter. She releases an album so forward-thinking and experimental that even the most seasoned critics are left to catch their collective breath. She takes the road less traveled by. And thank God for it. What would we do without her? So next time you feel like bitching about an outfit, grills, or a collab you’re not feeling, take pause and appreciate that the most important star in our history is still here, creating, evolving, shaking things up, and expressing herself in new ways. God Control is an example of a pop goddess in her prime...long after her “prime.”

    BRAVO!!!

    Killers Who Are Partying is an amazing song, and it’s sad to see the pin head logic when it comes to the lyrics.  These are the same people who probably post pics on their social media saying “I am Pulse” and “Je suis Charlie” and have zero problem with it.  The song is a show of solidarity, and the chorus rebukes any argument that she is trying to BE any of those groups.  People’s idiocy in this day and age is astounding.

    THIS! 

    KWAP is a supreme HIGHLIGHT of the album for me - especially its second half, after she sings about being a woman and then that beautiful music kicks in with her singing, seemingly right in your ear, "God knooows what I am."  CHILLS!

    1.  Hard Candy - So far.  Maybe, in time - perhaps, soon - Mx will take over. (Let's not forget the gems that are BGO, GITM, MA, SNM, DWRY, etc., people!)

    2.  Mx (the ONLY M album in which I love every song - may soon take over #1 for last four albums)

    3.  MDNA (Love this album!  Don't get all the hate for it.)

    4.  Rebel Heart - (Still love it - I love every M album to different degrees and for different reasons - but I rarely listen to it and it hasn't stood the test of time so well, for me.)

    Madonna has just accomplished two amazing things for me, which she has never accomplished in her almost-40-year-long career:

    1.  Managed to create an album in which I truly enjoy and can say I love EVERY-SINGLE-SONG!  (As much as I love her and her music, there have always been a couple of clunkers in each and every one of her albums.  With Madame X, that is no longer the case.  Each song is brilliant in its own way!) And...

    2.  (This one's minor, but an important one for me.) I have always felt the need to re-order the tracklisting on M's albums - I never thought she was particularly good at the order in which her songs were placed on her album.  No longer!  I truly feel Madame X is PERFECTLY track-listed - the order couldn't be any better!

    Madame X truly is a WORK OF ART.  And, she created this NOW, SO deep and long into her outstanding career.  WHO ELSE can do this?!?

    Side note:  I'm so glad I waited until today to hear the album in its entirety.  It truly felt like the old days when we all had to wait with baited breath and, finally, were able to exhale when listening to her art for the first time.

    I just CAN'T with all the excitement going around for MX!  It's making it harder for me to wait until Friday!  

    I know it's weird, but you know what I'm looking forward to?  To really getting to know the album well and, then, rearranging the track-listing.  😉 

    There isn't an M album I do not like/love.  Buuuut, I've always had an issue with the way she orders her songs (track-listing).  That hasn't changed, for me, in over over 30 years and I don't expect MX to be any different.  Once I rearrange the track-listing to make it sonically flow better for ME, that's when I truly fall in love with the album - and THAT'S what I can't wait for. 😄 

    MADAME X: official reviews are in: MADAME X is a hit with the critics!

    It’s interesting how little self awareness so many people have.  To even write the sentence “Although minimally talented, she rose to the top with sheer ambition and by picking the right collaborators” seems like the most tired tact a critic could take, and frankly it’s been tired for twenty five years.  And yet they continue to write it, feeling the need to somehow explain their love of her music.  So damn odd.  I mean David Bowie couldn’t technically sing well (I LOVE him btw) yet is considered a vocal genius.  Sexist much?

    Preach it.  The list of sub-par male vocalists that are still heralded as outrageous talents is, regrettably, a long one - David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Chris Martin, and countless others.  They barely ever get any criticism or even a mention on their mediocre-or-below vocal ability, instead being heralded.  Apparently, only female singers are judged by their perceived vocal talents - especially M.  It is definitely sexist and sad.

    First listen, immediately loved the guitars, hated the song...

    Second listen:  Whoa...wait, this is classic, creamy-smooth, Madonna goodness.

    Third listen:  Hooked for LIFE!  What a AWESOME song!  LOVE it! 😍 Haven't stopped playing it, since.

    With Medellín, Madonna added her own style to (improved upon) raggaeton.  And, now, she's done the same with trap. 👍
