I loved the story she told about being on tour the first time and realising she “had made it”.
Really enjoyable interview. I’m really curious to know what she said to Ian Mckellan when they were showing the Hugh Jackman video. When they cut back to the couch she’d just finished.

I thought she was great. Funny and charming.

Critics don't review the music, they review Madonna.

Killer track. I'm down for a Madonna x Mulama album. They have not disappointed me!
-
I loved the original and she made this her own. Fucking killed it. I think this is my favorite track at the moment.
If life was fair this would be a #1 single.
-
Fuck I can't wait for this video. I have a feeling it will be controversial. Scarface and the lyrics. I think it will be another WIFLFAG.

After listening to the album myself I can accept at least some of the criticism from the worst reviews but the overall bad ratings I don't agree with. Yeah some of the lyrics are a bit questionable but Music had "I like to boogie woogie" and that's a fucking track. So to hang your hat on "lyrics" as your reason to give it a bad review, when everything *works* is just unacceptable. This album is god tier Madonna - LAP, Erotica, ROL, COADF now MX.

I feel like this song will be the seed for the current pop stars - Ariana, Taylor, Miley etc.
Give it a couple years and this sound will be on the radio. Kind of like Hung Up was the precursor to Gaga and Kesha..
-
I can totally get the Scarface reference for the video. I can’t wait for this! It’s like Hung Up x Deeper and Deeper.

I don’t feel like there are any fillers on the album. Sure some songs are better than others but as a whole the who album works together.

First impressions - the album kicks ass. It definitely feels like a classic Madonna album. ie. something only she could produce/release. Still need a few more listens to really appreciate the songs but on only one listen this is how I rate:
Medellín (with Maluma) - 9
Dark Ballet - 10
God Control - 10
Future (ft. Quavo) - 8
Batuka - 8
Killers Who Are Partying - 8
Crave (ft. Swae Lee) - 10
Crazy - 8
Come Alive - 7
Extreme Occident - 8
Faz Gostoso (ft. Anitta) - 10
Bitch I’m Loca (ft. Maluma) - 10
I Don’t Search I Find - 9
Looking for Mercy - 10
I Rise - 7
Bold were the ones I wanted to listen to again first.
Faz Gostoso and Bitch, I’m Loca are

I don't like the male voice it feels more like a feat. Madonna song.
Yeah I agree. I think he's a bit too prominent and dominates the song overall that she comes across as a feat rather than the main performer. It's not a bad track but the weakest for me so far. Her parts and the music itself are great but I can see why it was a bonus track.
7/10

Who's the male voice?
is it Youssou N'Dour?
And D’Santiago brought together Madonna and Kimi Djabate, an Afrobeat musician from another former Portuguese colony, Guinea-Bissau. He recorded a bonus song for her album titled Ciao Bella.

BTW is that a Fatman Scoop vocal sample?

Physical CD > Itunes Flac > Spotify/Apple (Although you can increase the bitrate which might be the same as Flac?)
That's my understand but happy to be corrected.

Out of the 3 bonus tracks this one is my favorite!
At first I was a bit taken aback because I did listen to the demo quite a lot and I actually really like it. After a couple listens though I think the official version is an improvement and definitely a lot more "layered". I love the flute and the kicked up bass. It does sound like the same vocals though which I think she could've have re-recorded or adjusted slightly on some parts. (A bit too high pitched but that's only a minor criticism.)
10/10 for me. Would've happily had this on the album proper.

4 hours to go! Can't wait to listen on spotify as i get ready for work then in my headphones as i sit on the bus for 45min on the way to work!
My commute is an hour so should give me enough time to get through it!
-
Forgive me friends but I've cracked and decided to listen to the 3 bonus tracks. Simply because I don't expect them to be officially available tomorrow on Spotify/Apple Music.
Still leaving the album proper for tomorrow though.

Reviews like the Uncut one just serve to remind us that no matter what she releases she’ll always have her haters who’ll dismiss her no matter what. Having a look at their website / reviews they seem more wanky and pretentious than Pitchfork. I didn’t think that was possible. Fuck ‘em.
-
Almost there. I won’t listen at midnight but I’ll be up early and listen on my way to work. Can’t wait! The comments and positivity from people who’ve listened already is really promising!

Bullshit. Someone’s been watching too many TV shows and movies.
“Two black cars” a whole swat team for copyright infringement. Pretty sure they send a letter first.

I had a look at the “top albums” on metacritic and they are so wanky.

I love the background beat/music that kicks in at about 4:45. It sounds subversive and menacing almost.
