    God how I adore this song!!’

    What does she mean by “no Funana”?

    Funana is a Cape Verdean dance. As a Cape Verdean I am elated seeing Madonna incorporate our music. By saying now Funana, she’s ostensibly saying “now let’s dance”.

    In the "Crave" video capture above, do you see Madonna's nod to Vogue?

    Of the songs released so far this Madame X era, Crave is my favorite.

    MADONNAMAN

    Admittedly, the first time I listened to crave I wasn’t just disappointed — I was angry. Cut to a few weeks later and I’m utterly obsessed . The songs do slowly grow on you.

  3. These songs are growing me. I’m a drop obsessed with Soltera atm. Translating the lyrics has been fun (the lyric websites aren’t exactly correct). Here’s a little tid bit: 

    Si siente’ que hay un viaje ahí en tu mente (Woo) Será por el exceso de Aguardiente (Dile)

    because of the excess of Aguardiente.

    Aguardiente (which literally translates to burning water) is one of the most famous alcoholic beverages in Antioquia (where Medellín is located). The Aguardiente Antioqueño, which is the most famous in the region, accompanies all parties in Medellín and has become an icon of the Paisas (inhabitants of Antioquia). This liquor has an anise flavor and is derived from sugar cane.

  4. I made a Madame X Era Playlist on Apple Music. I included Soltera and Champagne Rose (which is considered the best song on Quavo’s album). Fun fact:  My obsession with lyrics, as a poet and songwriter led me to reversed the opening reversed lyric by Madonna on Soltera. She’s saying “and I rather be alone, and I rather be alone, lone, lone”. It’s just the beginning of her of the lyric:verse in the song. When they reverse it, it lends toward an Arabic vibe. 😇

  5. I reversed the opening reversed lyric by Madonna. She’s saying “and I rather be alone, and I rather be alone, lone, lone”. It’s just the beginning of her of the lyric in the song. When they reverse it it has the Arabic vibe — I’m obsessed with lyrics I needed to know what she was saying 😇

  6. Saturday night was amazing. For some reason I can't post pictures or videos but I've plenty on my @illmatic.poet instagram. She made eye contact with me several times, tried reading mine and my crew's shirts (got video x pix). Her smile and energy was infectious!
