Let the fans enjoy this moment instead of negating it. I'm loving every bit of it. She has gone above and beyond every expectation that I had so far and I think we should really be enjoying it as well as appreciating her. We are so lucky she is still doing this to this extent with all her passion and not just putting out an album just to meet contractual obligations. Enjoy the ride because this won't last forever.

reQuiem4adream Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 One song doesn't judge the whole album, so If you don't like Medellin, just wait for some other tracks or stop being her fan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't dislike it, I love the chorus very much, but I am sure this is happening because of the verses: they are too slow compared to the chorus and bridge. It's like a disconnection of the track. But anyway, hope that the 2nd single will be stronger. Maybe this is a strategy. I agree unfortunately. The track starting and stopping doesn’t allow for club play either (until a remix comes out). Funnily enough I think that was the one of the issues American Life had as a single. I still count die another day as the first single because that was stellar! Madonna’s last strong first single was 4 minutes. Her last connection with Warner Bros. I don’t think that’s by accident. They really seemed to push her for the right songs to release (ie; 4 minutes over candy shop, Vogue not being a b-side etc). I don’t think Madonna is the best judge of character for releasing her own singles. Regrdless, I know the album will be great and I’m so excited to hear it.

Medellin is such a misunderstood song, I really believe in time M fans will grow to love it and see just how important it is in M's discography. This is not a throw away like GMAYL. Listen to the lyrics and how reflective they are. Remove Maluma if you have to and just listen to Madonna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reQuiem4adream Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 You'll hear 4 more songs before the album drops. I think it's a little bit too early to dislike the album. I took her 4 fvcking years to release this album, so give her and her songs a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great album opener! But as a first single is what people are questioning? At this point in her career I’m happy that Madonna is doing what she wants, and everything about this era so far has been perfection! I think most fans are excited about this cd like non other!! A great feat to have! I know this album will rock and I’m still hoping for videos for all the songs!!! ( a boy can dream right?) hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcbyebyebaby Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 The song is a South American hype single for her huge stadium tour there. Thats my thoughts. No way they didnt at least talk about promoting a South American tour before the era. Perhaps the disco song is more "single worthy" but they know what they are doing.

Her verses are her reflecting, and everything else is the fantasy playing out. So she reflects and the pace is kind of slow, kind of nostalgic, but playful... and then it’s like we are swept away in the fantasy, he comes in, ready to wow her and the song picks up, building into the joyous chorus, and her sweet memory of the 1-2 cha cha (which is why it’s whispered, almost like it is her secret key to that fantasy/memory)... You’ll notice that many reviews point out that this is too sophisticated to classify it as “just” being a reggaeton song, and I think they are right. I deleted your first sentence about your friends from the quote above because seriously no one cares. It’s tiresome. It’s hearsay. That’s the point imo, not that you can’t say anything that’s not pro Madonna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.K Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 So a track isn't good enough because "some friends" can't get into it (as if you can get into any current song with first listen), friends who 9/10 times wouldn't give her a chance anyway as they've already been negatively predisposed towards her, victims of the relentless media propaganda against her this past decade? Providing this is true at all. Or because it's not suited for clubs?!

Gaudet Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I like Medellín, is such a soothing warm prelude to something glorious I feel. Very pleasant, in a sea of mainstream turdy flat sound bites, Medellín delivers a much needed ray of sunshine, in my opinion. Have also played it adding a 1.25+ speed, works magically, probably better than the normal speed. Controversial speeding-up aside, I cannot wait to hear the full deluxe album. Good era upon us!

If fans here don't like it, well that it their own view and entitled to it. Am always interested in Madonna fans views as long as every single view posted is not negative about everything. But never see the point in discussing what friends or haters think of a new song as just seems like a further excuse to criticise the song as some kind of back up. 3 hours ago, Ven Conmigo said: Are these supposed friends whom we don’t know at all registered here and posting here?

Cheers Definitely, it is a prelude to a glorious album ahead. 3 hours ago, vertigokane said: It’s irritating that the standard some folks use for whether or not a song is “good” is if it’s a “club banger.” Madonna’s discography is much more diverse than than that. That aside, Medellín has more hooks in it than a tackle and bait store (slow down papi, one-two-cha-cha-cha) all of which can be remixed by any DJ worth his salt. The contrasting verses and chorus makes this so unique. Love that is not the same as so many songs out there. The hooks are there as is the sentimental dreamy verses and the seductive beats of the chorus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
