True. Am seeing rave reviews everywhere on this forum. We are not even getting the trolls which is fantastic. Noticed a lot more trolls when Rebel Heart was released.
In general I'm seeing a lot of positivity about the entire Madame X era. Not just here but in the media in general. It feels like most people actually want her to succeed. I think that there is such a drought in creativity from the current artists that Madame X is a refreshing change. People are actually recognizing her artistry.

BTW is it strange we haven't been told of a video date? Medellin had a big release but there is no news about a video for the "official" first single unless I've missed it?

I feel like the verses are the best part. The lyrics are legit.

Extremely happy with all 3 releases thus far
+1

After spending the day listening to it I think this is my favorite track of all three so far. Can’t stop listening. Even more so than Medellín.

Current time In Melbourne, Australia
11:14am, Friday 10 May 19.
Song came out (legally) at midnight. Do people not understand time zones?

The “Ooohs” remind me of the chorus of “Veni, Vidi, Vici “

It's actually quite a sweet and hypnotic song.
The lyrics and song
are addictive. It's stuck in my head... MADONNA & Swae Lee voices together are
AF‼
Yeah I agree. The lyrics are incredibly sweet and I think she sounds amazing. I really like sound of the music too. Especially the guitar at the beginning.
She has yet to disappoint me with any of the tracks released so far. I would probably say I Rise is the weakest of the three though.
10/10

Yes, the prices in Europe are also very high. I have to buy a new parfum, how is Vetiver Extraordinaire? Is it too classic?
It’s a woody fragrance which I prefer. Try this site for review / description.

I'm a bit 50-50 on the Emma Gonzales sample but the song itself is great. Love her voice on it and the overall message of the song. Two for two so far. I don't want to jinx it but I'm starting to think she's about to deliver another masterpiece. Everything is blowing me away this era.

Absolutely killing it. The pictures are amazing and I love the reference to Anne Sexton. The article looks like it will be a great read too. Really liking the positivity from BV.

Yes
right and I foresee raising sales for "portrait of a lady" parfum.
It’s not a cheap perfume. In Australia it retails for $500 for 100ml. Its actually very nice too although my favourite Frederic Malle perfume/cologne is Vetiver Extraordinaire.

Bill, I think you should not look at charts anymore concerning artists like Madonna. I mean, nobody expects Bruce Springsteen's new single to be number one. However, people expect quality and surely good opening numbers. For years I stopped looking at charts regarding veteran acts. I didn't pay atenttion during Rebel Heart, never expected any song to chart. Same with Madame X singles.
I think Madonna is focusing on hyping the album, something that is really working on favour of artists these days. I guess that is why we get I Rise on Friday and maybe the new single next week! I may be wrong because I am not in Madonna's head, of course, but I think she's calculating the exposure, views, etc in order to get new fans and having a succesful tour!
I agree.
The other issue working against her is radio won’t play her. Her streaming numbers aren’t much different from other acts that chart but they get additional support from radio while she doesn’t. That most disappointing part of that is her music is still better than most of the crap they do play.

I thought that was Diane Von Furstenberg?

Great new article from NME, apologies if this has been posted elsewhere.

Great performance. It felt really joyous and happy. Love her and Maluma together. He seems so genuinely happy to be performing with her and I think that’s part of the reason they have such great chemistry.

Maluma just posted on his IG that his new album 11:11 will come out on May 17th, and it has another collaboration with Madonna called Soltera (Single). I think this will definitely be good promotion and I'm sure he will release this single later this year.
Wow they really got it off by the looks of it! Three songs so far. I can’t think of anyone else she’s collaborated with this much.

“Disco dance stomper” sounds so generic and cheesy. I’m not sure I would describe any of her previous songs that way. Honestly it’s a term I’d associate more with some one like Gaga than Madonna.

Yes, I know a guy who has heard the whole thing, but I don't know about Maya Angelou in the song.
What about the other songs? Which ones were stand outs, which ones ballads, experimental etc?

I Rise is neither a disco dance song nor the single with the drag video. Sorry but we'll still have to wait for the dance tracks.
How are you so confident? Have you heard the album?

I feel like these award shows have realised that Madonna brings in viewers, putting her at the end or in the middle ensures people watch. When she used to open the show a lot of viewers would switch off.

JLo feat French Montana - Medicine was released 7 Apr 2019. Almost 3 weeks ago and has about 16 million views. The video only has 16,900 comments and 258K like 29K dislikes.
Medellin was released 4 days ago and has almost 11 million views. The video has 45,600 comments though and 370K likes and 96K dislikes.
People can talk all the shit they want but she still has their attention and provokes a reaction.
