    I also liked her explaining the percussion instrument in Come Alive was created by emancipated slaves — turning the very thing that formerly imprisoned them into an instrument of music. And how this was important to her, and she wanted to use that sound on the record because of that. So beautiful — and so appropriate for her as an artist, no? That has been a theme of her entire career — celebrating freedom and liberation.

    That was one of my favorite parts!  I already loved that song and this made it even more powerful for me.

    I also loved the scenes of her singing and interacting with the Batukadeiros.  It looked like such a celebration of life and love for music.  I hope she does something like that on the tour for that song.

     

  2. I love this!!!  That 20 minutes went by like it was 5!  I was so mesmerized by the visuals, the music and what she was saying about this whole experience.  This could have gone on for hours and I would have been just as enthralled for the entirety.  This has made me love and appreciate this album even more if that's possible.  I love hearing the stories and inspirations behind her music more than anything else so this was like heaven to me.  I really hope there is more but if not, I would still be satisfied and grateful for this.  And that b & w shot of her in the handmaid outfit without the bonnet on is AMAZING!!

  3. Wow, just wow.  She continues to push the envelope and make music and visuals that are powerful and have something to say.  This is what a true artist does.  No contemporary pop stars are doing anything close to this or would dare even imagine it.  While some would love her to be quiet, "act her age", or sing standards in some Vegas show, M continues to talk about what matters and put herself on the line to stand up for what she believes.  Whether you have been directly affected by gun violence or not, it can't be denied that this an increasingly alarming issue and something needs to be done.  Bravo to Madonna for once again lending her voice to illicit dialogue and much needed reform.

    My fave part of Medellín (other than the “one, two, cha cha cha” parts and the “slow down, papí”) is the part Mooncrown picked. It is so catchy and elevates the track. Whether it’s the bridge or the post-chorus or the real chorus or the second chorus — it’s a wonderful element of the song.

    Agreed!!
