...and I have always felt this like a happy and sad song in the same time. especially the opening lyrics:
I took a pill and had a dream
I went back to my 17 year
Allowed myself to be naive
To be someone I've never been
I took a sip and had a dream
And I woke up in Medellín
The sun was caressing my skin
Another me could now begin...
The lyrics literally give me life!! And her voice is so smooth, you can use this song as a tanning lotion

When is his album coming out?
-
I actually really enjoy Back That Up To The Beat. Such a fun song.

Tracks 1-6 have hit me like a ton of bricks, its like she was warning us.
Dark Ballet just got way darker for me. The "they are so naive.." part!
Yes, suddenly Madame X is hella prophetic! It flipped everything upside down for me when covid-19 happened. Suddenly it all made so much more sense. And her performance at Eurovision cannot be a mere coincidence. Even Kabbalah teaches there’s no such a thing as a coincidence. The word itself means two sides of one coin. Madonna knew something and still does! I’m listening to her ever so closely. There’s hope. “Everyone has a spark”.

Agree with others too, I can officially say at this point that MX is "essential" Madonna, up there with LAP and ROL. What I mean is that, like those two albums, MX is completely and totally a glimpse into Madonna's state of mind in 2019. Sure, ALL of her albums are to some degree but those three (and AL too really...even if it's not my fave) truly represent who Madonna is and what she's about circa 2019. This will definitely be one that is more appreciated over time.
Yes!! Finally someone said this. Albums such as Ray of Light, American Life and now Madame X have this unique energy about them that straight up tells us, this is her! This is the woman behind the alter ego called Madonna. This is the voice beyond Vogues and Hollidays. In all three of these albums she tells her alter ego to take a seat and she wears her heart on the sleeve. And it’s crucial we as fans recognize and respect that. And while she has done glimpses of this in all of her albums, everybody knows that these particular albums carry that specific Madonna energy that’s uniq to who she is as her own person, outside of fame and stardom.

Were MDNA properly mixed and mastered to higher standards than sounding on par with a stream there might be an argument for his return.
Agreed. Also, if MDNA would have been produced entirely by Martin alone, I think it would have been her most uplifting, upbeat, cheerful, summer album ever!! I don’t care what anyone says, Give Me All Your Luvin and Turn Up The Radio are extremely catchy and fun. Beautiful Killer is everybody’s favorite. This lighthearted Solveig sound throughout the whole album would have been a dream come true! Unfortunately, as much as I loved Orbit’s songs, and I’m Addicted, the album ended up having no direction. It was all over the place. Gang Bang, Masterpiece, I Don’t Give A, Falling Free.... all sound like songs from completely different albums, like wtf?

13. Finally, Enough Love
14. Prayer
15. Rise Above

My top favorite parts of the song are the first verse, when Madonna goes “you ain’t woke!....come give life!” She sounds like a wise Jamaican witch who smokes dope. Lol The trumpets! Oh my god those trumpets give me life! These two aspects of the song were my favorite from the first listen. But surprisingly, I’ve also grown to really enjoy Quavo’s verse.

Comparing this with Batuka is... no comment
Music is in my top 5 M songs ever. And it's actually A SONG, unlike Batuka.
Interesting but Music is my least favorite Madonna song. I dont like the melody, nor the lyrics or the production. But I’m happy that general public recognizes and loves it. Batuka is the weird kind of Madonna that I totally dig. Awesome that Madonna’s candy shop got all kinds of flavors for all of us.

...and my perspective with you why I don't like it very much and I skip it. I like the message, the instrumental, the video and the ending, I just don't like hearing 6 minutes of the same thing with a robotic voice. If you would hear the original voice in the song, you would hear the difference. Batuka and Future have the most auto tune on the album. That's all.
I’d love to get my hands on the demos from Madame X

Repetitive Madonna is the best: Sorry, Batuka, Future Lovers, Music, etc...
I agree. I never get tired of Madonna’s use of repetition in songs. Somehow she makes it organic and natural. Not even MJ could do it. “Wanna Be Starting Something” anyone? Lol

I didn't miss anything. Yes, it's a chant, It's beautiful, I understand the message, but it's too long. It's not repetitive in terms of chorus and verses. And I am sure I would have liked it more if I would hear Madonna and not a robot.
She sounds amazing in this song! There isn’t even that much auto tune. Her voice sounds a bit nasal but in my opinion it just makes the song that much more eccentric and interesting. The drums always put me in a trance and I never want it to end. But to each their own I guess. I’m just sharing my perspective with you why I like this song so much.

It's too repetitive, too long and the autotune is more than annoying for me. But I love the ending of the song and the video is brilliant... Almost teary eyes at the end of the video + the message.
Speaking of repetitive, I often hear songs that are extremely repetitive. Like Roxanne. Same chorus, over and over. Some of these songs are are so bad, I stop everything I’m doing and wonder if the damn song is ever going to end. I don’t understand how people are able to enjoy repetitive songs. So I get it.
But when it comes to Batuka, it’s one time you can make an exception, because that’s the whole point of the song. It’s not repetitive in terms of singing the same chorus over and over, rather it’s story telling in a form of a CHANT. It’s supposed to be like that because that’s the style of batukadeiras, where one lead singer tells a story in short phrases and the rest of the women sing along. I think it’s beautiful, because it’s like the women agree with what the lead singer is telling by singing along with each phrase. So yes, Batuka is more of a chant than a song. That’s why it deserves a pass. Calling it repetitive means you’re missing the whole idea, the whole point of it. -
So basically the whole damn album is perfect!!!

I almost still listen to it everyday. I only skip Batuka, Bitch I’m Loca and I Rise.
Don’t skip Batuka! Let the drums connect you to the earth and put you in a trance!

I hope demos will be released soon

^^ Inside Out is still one of my very favorite RH tracks, and among my all-time favorites in her entire oeuvre.
Have not tired of any Madame X tracks, tbqh? Aren’t really any low points for me.
Yes!! Inside out is a masterpiece, especially the demo. I made my own edit where most of it is the demo version and only replaced the instrumental parts after each chorus with the album version. It turned out amazing.
