    I know you're doing this with the best intentions in the world, but it's annoying that you make promotional queries in all the discussions. Please stop. Thanks!There is already a thread specifically about this.

    Agreed, it's really annoying although well intentioned.

    As for Future, it is a soulful, joyous feast with a message. The horns are everything, and this is the first release off MX since Medellin that has the world music vibe she has implied the album will deliver.

    Unapologetic Bitch - a song I have a lot of appreciation for - sounds almost anemic in comparison.

  2. I'm willing to bet my dead grandmother's soul M will do a snippet of Dark Ballet. There must be a reason she's hashtagged it in her Eurovision updates. Also, she said in the interview for Billboard that the song is about Joan of Arc, and look what she's wearing for the rehearsal. Madame X is a saint and a half.

  3. Lol of course it's not her best song. She could release a masterpiece to end them all and it would still be impossible for that to instantly become her best song.

    Frozen, Live to Tell, LAP, Vogue etc have had time to become cultural milestones and provide a soundtrack to people's lives for years. Time will tell if Medellin has that kind of staying power and how it will actually stack up against her best songs. Realistically, at this point, I would probably rank it somewhere in my top forty Madonna songs of all time.

    For now, it is easily her best lead single since Hung Up and best single since Sorry. Coupled with the video, it's a bona fide artistic and critical comeback and seems to serve as an intro to an era in which she is more invested than anything since, well, COADF again. That's more than I dared to dream of anymore. But at this point, it definitely cannot be fairly compared with her iconic classics.

    Yeah, and that one didn't come out.

    I think the last time it worked in her favor was the Music video, and still the controversy there was a little mild....compared to other things she did previously.

    Whatever it is I hope it works. Imagine if it is LGBT related. She'd get the support of the whole community.

    *fingers crossed*

    But the only reason it hasn't worked in her favour is that she hasn't done it. The Music video wasn't really controversial. The AL video didn't even come out (as you pointed out) and the song didn't just flop because of the video anyway but because it was generally considered to be a sub-par single. 

    The only video remotely resembling controversial since then is Girl Gone Wild, and it wasn't actually controversial at all. I would argue that when she's actually released a truly controversial video (Like a Prayer, Erotica), it more or less has worked in her favour. It's just been an eternity since she last did that.

    I'm really happy if we're about to witness the comeback of political M videos. She needs a Youtube hit and if done well, this is the way to get it, just ask Childish Gambino.

  5. To say I'm excited about this new era is a criminal understatement, but one thing I don't understand. Why were some drag queens hired to perform in the video the day before the shooting started? Judging by everything else we know, M has put a lot of thought and careful planning into this project - was there some sort of a last-minute U-turn in the concept of the video or something?
