    The production is sublime and is classic Mirwais and Madonna. Giving me all the nostalgia back when I first heard what they created on Music. 

    Mirwais had nothing to do with I Rise. But I agree, the production is amazing. 

    Mirwais talks about Madame X

    I still stand by MDNA being a solid pop album with some great songs...but Rebel Heart was, no doubt, a labor of love. You just don't make that many demos, and work for that long...let alone put out what is akin to essentially a double album... without having your heart and soul in the process and the work (no matter how hard it was). Sadly, the final work never had a fair shot. But I will ALWAYS stand by Rebel Heart being in the upper tier of M's body of work. The fact that a project of that size came nearly 3+ decades into a career says even more about what kind of artist she is.

    This. I love Rebel Heart. ❤️

    I'm really sorry guys.  I didn't intend to cause trouble here or make anyone upset. I just offered my opinion based on what someone else said.   I never said Madonna and Graham never met.  I just thought maybe the story was a bit embellished.  I'll go now!!  😭😢

    No need to apologize. M has “embellished” things before so it’s not completely out of the realms of possibility that she would do it again. But I’m gonna her take her word for it.

    I can imagine Mirwais re-working “Back That Up,” which was already an innovative type of track — unfinished lines that have their blanks filled in later ... very Mirwais-ish. Do you know what I mean? Compare opening verse of “Die Another Day” — “I’m gonna kiss some part of” — with “Back That Up” where many of the lines end with “of” on the first time they’re sung. Later they are inserted: (fun) (drum) (gun) (one) ... if I’m remembering it right. Would have to listen to it again.

    Of the Pharrell outtakes from RH recording sessions, I’m kind of surprised she didn’t pick “Take It Back” to re-furbish for this project. Sounds a little more disco to me, and it has a mention of “Mercury in retrograde” which she continues to mention on IG from time to time.

    ”Take a Day” (the third Pharrell demo we haven’t mentioned yet) was a very peculiar sound — almost throwback, vintage. But I feel like that escapist vibe is in the DNA of Medellín, and the repeated “Ven” echoes that ricochet through the cha-cha breakdown section recall the “bang bang”s from “Take a Day” (to me), too. It’s funny — someone else here mentioned the “bang”s in his review and I wanted to post and say it is probably “ven” but I thought it was “bang” at first, too, and it reminded me of “Take a Day.” Also, perhaps less so, the original (more Mika sounding) pre-“Gang Bang” demo “Bang Bang Boom.”

    Too bad she didn't choose to rework Never Let You Go. That's easily my favorite unreleased song from RH.
