Thought Medellin would be in top 5 - glad Come Alive is Top 10
-
I'm upset that Looking For Mercy is not top 10 but otherwise am happy with the results so far

I would be interested.
Me too

Oh I think Faz Gostoso should be higher - that song has really grown on me!
-
Yep don't like BTUTTB either- Ciao Bella is the best of the bunch
-
That's about right - the special edition bonus tracks are not up to par with the album tracks in my opinion and I can understand why they were left off
-
Yes! Working at home but will check in !

Come Alive
YES!! My vote also. When I saw the World of Madame X on Amazon about the origin of the instruments used on the song, it made me love it even more.

Thanks for putting these together! So refreshing to hear praise for her and for this adventurous and beautiful work of art.

This video is amazing! I really wish that people who don't get this album or think she's out of touch would watch these videos and listen to the inspirations and the cultures and people's stories behind the music. This is not a flashy high budget video nor is it meant to be. It is a beautifully shot and captured story of these women and how they never forget their past but also continue to defy it and celebrate every moment of life and freedom they have now . That last shot where the slave ships are on the horizon and then disappear is an perfect illustration of this. I love this so much!!

More beautiful visuals in store I'm sure! Can't wait!!

Beautiful - I think I know what my new profile pic will be!

This is the song I truly am aching for a video for. I think it is the best song Madonna has recorded in years - considering how much I adore her music, that is a huge huge compliment. Packs an emotional punch that only Madonna can do. Such a sad, beautiful song with incredible vocals, lyrics and melody. Has reached me more than any song released by anybody for years.
Couldn't agree more @Jazzy Jan! My favorite from the album!!

I thought she meant the song itself which I truly think it is!

I love the one posted today for the Erotica album where she says she feels it is an underrated album - Madame X speaks only the truth!!!!

So now that we have had some time to digest the album, what are your favorite moments? I think we did something similar for Rebel Heart and I enjoyed reading everyone's responses and sometimes it made me notice something I'd not heard before or paid too much attention to. Hoping for that to happen again and to discover even more amazing things about this work of art.
Here are some of mine:
Medellin
- The opening 1-2 Cha Cha Cha
- The absolute elation in their voices on the bridge or second chorus " Si te enamoro (Si me enamoras)"
- The way her voice goes up when she sings "it set me free"
Dark Ballet
- The piano interlude
- The way she over-enunciates the word "hoodie"
God Control
- The moment when the children's choir first comes in
- The sudden but smooth switch to the disco strings
- The adorable sing song way she does the rap verse
- The double meaning of "It's a hustle" (The dance and the "Con")
- The melody and passion of the bridge starting with - "It's a weird kind of energy"
Future
- The horns!
- The way she sings"Let your light shine" after Quavo's verse
- The callbacks to Don't Tell Me in the bridge
Batuka
- The drumming
- The gorgeous and melancholy cello outro
Killers
- The Fado guitar
- The echoed "God knows what I am" in the pre-chorus
- Her delivery of the "e, e ,e" in the chorus
Crave
- The guitar intro
- The way she sings "This is how I'm made"
- The entire bridge
- Swae Lee's falsetto vocals
Crazy
- The accordian!
- The passion with which she sings "My god look at me now!"
Come Alive
- The percussion
- The infectiousness of the chorus
- The epic ending with the children's chorus
Extreme Occident
- The vulnerability with which she delivers the chorus especially the repeated almost shouted "I wasn't lost"
- The percussion that comes in after the second chorus
- The lyrics in the bridge
Faz Gostoso
- Her attitude throughout
- The way her voice blends seamlessly with Anitta's
- How catchy that chorus and post-chorus is!
- How you can tell the song is naughty even if you don't speak the language
Bitch I'm Loca
- The way she delivers the "Bitch I'm Loca" line like she's clearly in on the joke
- The instrumental break
- The cheeky way she delivers the "Um you can put it inside" line
Looking For Mercy
- The melody and emotion in the pre-chorus "Somebody to teach me to love..."
- The way her voice reminds me of Karen Carpenter when she sings"I'm looking for love"
- The echoed "looking for mercy" before the second chorus kicks in
I Don't Search I Find
- The trace-like quality of the music
- The way her voice goes up in the chorus on the second "Search"
- The callback to the Vogue snaps
- The way she speaks "Finally enough love" in her "Future Lovers" voice
- The 90's nostalgia vibes
I Rise
- The line "Just hold on to the little bit of magic in it" which reminds me there is always some beauty that is born from tragedy
- The melody of "I can't break down now"
- The sublime harmony vocals that come in with the second chorus
- The way the song manages to be both heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time
I'm sure there are a million more moments. What are yours?

Pretty satisfied with the results for the most part except for LFM getting shut out of the top 10. Nice work @Curtains!
