    Your Madame X

    in ARCHIVE - The MADAME X Forum

    Posted

    After listening to the album for a month, I started altering a little bit the track list here and other - just to keep it fresh and exciting. I do think that Medellin shouldnt have been the opening track (I do think that it is a great choice for the first single though). She should have opened the album with Dark Ballet in my opinion, but she has her reasons I suppose.

    I really like the way the tracks flow in this order and I created the playlist on Spotify too (without the limited edition tracks since they are not available YET - I hope):

    1. Dark Ballet
    2. God Control
    3. Batuka
    4. Killers Who Are Partying
    5. Extreme Occident
    6. Ciao Bella
    7. Medellin
    8. Back That Up To The Beat
    9. Crazy
    10. Crave
    11. Faz Gostoso
    12. I Dont Search I Find
    13. Looking For Mercy
    14. Future
    15. I Rise

    Bonus Tracks:

    1. Funana
    2. Come Alive

    MADAME X: official reviews are in: MADAME X is a hit with the critics!

    A 2 or a 1 star score is bad, not a 3 star.

    These were RS scores on her previous albums, as shared by @Shaun earlier in the thread.

    Debut: no star rating

    LAV: 3.5

    TB: no star rating

    LAP: 3.5

    E: 4

    BS: 3.5

    ROL: 4

    Music: 4

    AL: 3

    Confessions: 3.5

    HC: 4

    MDNA: 3.5

    RH: 3.5

    MX: 3

    So no, not her worst score ever from RS. They also gave AL a 3 star, and it's a brilliant work of art. So to be honest, after reading their basic review which barely talks about the music, I couldn't care less what score RS gives.

    HC has more than Confessions and AL... LOL

    I want to push back on this a bit. Check even our fan rating/ranking thread. The consensus is not that Crave is a so-so track. The consensus is that is a very good, catchy track. 

    I know the Mirwais material will appeal most to a certain set of the fanbase, but Crave is really well liked overall. 

    You misunderstood what I wrote or maybe I wasn't clear enough. It's a so-and-so, weak track for a (2nd) single.

    Other than that, I really like it.

    I agree her styling is spot on so gorgeous she's sex on legs. 

    Theres more to Medellin video I agree Crave is very simple yet beautiful.

    Well it's a single because of Swae Lee, the song she created with him was always going to be released to drive streams which is the strategy.

    The best songs from Madame X are yet to come according to many of the perople who heard the album this week. Hopefully at least one of these dynamite songs will be unveiled with just Madonna proving she doesn't need anyone standing next to her to deliver A-class pop music.

    Actually we are guaranteed one of these with the music video with the queens I suspect is going to be the 3rd single. I just hope we get it before  June 14th to give another side of the album so she can perform/discuss it as post-June I'd imagine she will go straight into tour rehearsals and then the tour. 

    ... And are these strategies working? This is what bothers me, it seems like she and her team don't learn from the past... 

    I agree about the first single, it's meant to create hype, discussions, promo etc. A big name next to you can help, but for 2nd single too? And for a "so-and-so" track? Not so sure.

    I agree with you though, I am 100% sure there's more promo coming, especially prior and post album release.

    this has been bothering me for weeks. does anyone else hear the "pop" at 0:39 on the song (1:21 on the video)? and it's repeated again every time she sings "ooo-ooo my cravings get dangerous." since it's repeated throughout the song, i don't think even think it's a mastering issue. it's on the actual track, which means it's probably going to end up on the album too.

    Yep, it's there. Like a glitch. 

    STREAMING/SALES strategy and discussion

    Thats why from June 14-20, we'll have to stream Madame X a lot, everyday, many times over and over again to make it debut on Billboard 200 albums chart and become her 9th no 1 album. 

    Unfortunately it's not only about us fans, she has to win the general public's interest too. M's fan base is not as strong and big as Taylor's, for example, to rely only on us for streaming and buying.

    I hope her team has something in store.

    Either way, I will still enjoy and listen to Madame X. Cannot wait!

    Hair, makeup, clothes, styling in general is on point. 

    But this is definitely not that type of video that will make me watch it many times (unlike Medellin, for instance).

    I really don't see why they decided to release this song as a single, it's just not IT, but whatever... it's time for me to get over it and hope for a GREAT 3rd single.
