I'm confused. How long until she's on?
-
This is seriously annoying cos we can't see what she's commenting. Usually it would be in your following tab but they've turned it off. Silly
But aren't comments only visible in the following tab when you follow both Madonna AND the user who asks the question?
-
One of the best songs on the record. The vocal delivery is one of her best!
It's such a strong track with a perfect arrangement.
Btw did you notice that the repetition of the second thorus has been chopped when you compare it with the demo?
You can even hear her sing "and" around the 3:00-minute mark, but then it's cut.
-
Yes I hear it too.
Thankfully, it doesn't take away anything from the gorgeousness of the song! Absolutely adore it. Epic, haunting, beautiful, just everything!
I replaced the distorted vocals with those of one of the demos.
-
They should've stolen her grillz instead of her music.
-
"Ok so what is your question?"
LOVE her facial expression after she says that.
Great performances, loved her vocals!
-
Does anyone hear mixing issues during 1:51 (I light a candle...)? That part sounds fuzzy and it's due to overamplification. At first I thought it was my earphones being faulty but then I played it out loud and I still hear the error.
Yes, it's there.
Such a gorgeous song though. I guess I'll replace that part with the demo vocals. -
Does the album mix include the proper orchestral instrumentation or did they use a synth for the album version like with Masterpiece?
It includes real orchestral instrumentation.
Btw does anyone else hear the distortion at the beginning of the 2nd chorus during "I light a candle..." or is it just my copy?
-
LOVE the picture as well!
-
Fans still not getting Madonna's sense of humor.
Maybe most get it, but not everyone shares it.
-
I love this version and I don't mind the fact that the Avicii demo got reworked. This one is much more timeless.
Love how the instrumentation gets fuller with each repetition of the chorus.
The distorted sound of the drums sounds quite good as well. Imo it's an intentional production choice and not a mistake. Same as for "Voices" on Hard Candy.
-
Had to get used to the upbeat parts after I heard the demo and I still have a few issues with the beat, but of course it's a gorgeous song.
However, I wonder why her voice sounds so distorted in some parts, for example when she starts the chorus with "I light a candle...". The mastering is quite bad.
-
The instrumentation/production is top notch! The lyrics...uhm yeah.
-
Those Holiday horns!
-
This one is such a grower, I enjoy it very much. Sounds like a child of "Erotica" and "Bedtime Stories".
-
It's definately one of my favourites. Such a great track!!!
-
A fan tweeted that "she sounded fab! Had to perform it a few times but amazing".
-
Our Queen is such a trooper!!! I was so shocked when I saw this live and I really hope that everything is ok.
She picked up her crown, put it back on her head and put on an amazing show. RESPECT!!!
-
Madonna should release a "Demo EP" on Spotify with all these tracks.
-
I can't get "Autotune Baby" out of my head, but "Queen" is the better song, so I hope it gets released in some form, maybe as Spotify exclusive or as the B-side of a future single.
-
That's the weird thing. The standard should have the poppy songs and mid temp ballads, including Rebel Heart, Wash All Over Me, Beautiful Scars, Addicted...
In fact, it would be really great to listen to the standard just to remember that old-school True Blue Madonna (I don't know why, but this album reminds me a lot to the True Blue spirit, with White Heat, Live To Tell, Open You Heart... now we have Beautiful Scars, Hold Tight, Living For Love, Joan of Arc, Rebel Heart...).
Then the Deluxe should have some other songs. And the SuperDeluxe should have SEX, Holy Water and Bitch I'm Madonna...
That's exactly how it should be! It doesn't make sense the way they planned this and it's a shame, because there's really enough material to make perfect tracklists for all 3 versions!
-
I love that we get so many tracks, but when you look at the covers you would assume that the "standard" version with its smiling Madonna is the tame edition, yet it contains all but one explicit tracks.
The seemingly raunchy Super Deluxe Edition on the other hand doesn't even have more explicit tracks on it than the Deluxe Edition. That's weird, isn't it?

I have died and gone to heaven rip
Up up up up!!!!

There's a 90-seconds behind the scenes video, too!!!!
