Am I the only one who doesn’t hear a lot of vocal effects on Batuka?! I just don’t hear it.
i think we've become so used to it because it's used on absolutely everything these days and so we don't hear it anymore, but it's very obvious on "batuka." tbh, the only song on the album i don't hear auto-tune or other effects is "crave." even "crazy" and "extreme occident" have some kind of vocal effect.

Ok now let’s all bombard all the hater reviews and demand they reassess the album.
Also, let’s start sending threats to the Grammys and ensure she’s nominated in every category and that’s she’s the winner of each.
fuck the haters y’all
bad idea.

i don't really have any problem with non-rap edits for AC radio. these stations are often played as background music at offices, supermarkets, and the waiting room at the dentist. they'd probably edit out eminem too. and they don't play EDM or metal. "crave" is a unique situation in that it's a "rap" artist who's kind of half-singing?

Was Beat Goes On popular? I dont remember reading anything on that... That'd be really cool if it was! What countries loved it?
yes, very. it even got some unsolicited airplay. why it wasn't the second (or third) single is a mystery. maybe it had something to do with kanye or his label.
wasn't madonna hashtagging #waitingforanitta? what was that about?

Absolutely amazing moment.
It kind of feels like the shining moment in the era, the costumes, the attitude, the first time we have heard those smogs played live....and yet this wasn't professionally filmed and broadcast.....feels such a shame like one the best things about this era isn't available in ll its glory.
truly bizarre.

her recollection of "vogue" doesn't match with what we've heard, does it? the story about it being a b-side never quite made sense, since artists rarely record a brand new song for that purpose, but she says it was written specifically for dick tracy, which also doesn't make sense since it's not in the film (which is set in the 30s, not the 40s/50s). she also says the rap came first, but that doesn't really match with what shep told billboard a few years ago. anyway, awesome to hear her talk about some of these songs!

Does anyone know if "God Control" is going to be released as the official 3rd single?
Crave was released as the 2nd single back on May 10th. It's been almost 2 months now, and I would expect her to release the 3rd single in July.
God Control is one of the best songs of her career--it should see a release.
"crave" is considered an official single because it was serviced to radio, but "medellin" never was. on the other hand, "medellin" has official remixes, but there haven't been any for "crave" yet. i really don't see them servicing "god control" to radio, so i guess if they release remixes and it charts on the club chart we can call it an official single? it's all very confusing.

the article says it was released today. that's weird. m just posted about it on her instagram.

Yes.. I was some behind scenes.. With "Vogue" playing in the background and part of the speech.. But the video has a problem I think..
instagram and facebook are both having server issues right now so that also might be why it's not visible. i saw it in my feed but can't see it on her actual profile.

What is the point of this being an Amazon Prime exclusive if it’s not going to be promoted by either party?
Not even one social media post about it! If Madonna Inc. went through the trouble of filming and editing it and striking a deal for it to be an exclusive on Amazon Prime, you’d think they would want people to actually watch it. They can’t even be bothered to make one IG post or IG story about it! 
Something as super simple as that would start getting the word out about it. It would take less than 30 seconds just to do that.
the fact that m herself didn't mention it on instagram is very strange. even nuno hasn't mentioned it. maybe there's a reason? should we ask him?
-
i finally saw this. a fan posted it on youtube yesterday and it already has 50K views. i don't know why they didn't promote this more or at least post it on her own youtube account. i agree that it could have been longer but it's a great little promotional video that would help people understand the album better - if only they could see it.

I'm 27 and fairly fit and I'd struggle with that.
exactly. i'm 20 years younger than her and go to the gym five days a week but my back hurts just from looking at that pic.

So I was in a club in San Fran on Saturday night and they played a CRAVE remix that was really good with Video. I was shocked since I never heard the remix before and did not know she created a video version. I hope the Crave remixes come out soon on Spotify and YouTube.
i've been pretty open-minded about their whole release strategy, and honestly remixes won't do a whole lot for sales or airplay, but the rollout of remixes is so baffling to me. at this rate "god control" remixes will be out in the fall.

No one is saying she hasn't invested energy or effort into this era, stop playing that card.
maybe it's not what you meant, but you literally just said she doesn't invest as much energy and time in her career anymore.

I honestly think that she doesn't invest as much time in her career as Madonna as she has done in the past. I'm sure music wise this record has consumed a lot of time for her. But considered all the other stuff that goes into preparing for performances, tours, interviews etc etc I just don't think she invests all of that energy and time anymore. Which is not strange at all considering she has such a large family (I mean 6 children!) these days which must drain you both physically and emotionally.
The amount of training that goes into being as fit as she's been and being able to dance and sing as she has that takes the time of a high level athlete. Add to that everything musically, writing, singing, producing. Then just keeping your empire going with her legacy, marketing, the MDNA skin care, investing in other financial products, real estate properties that need care, all of her staff that she bosses etc etc etc.
she's invested more time and energy into this album and its promotion than any other project in recent memory. she's clearly putting a lot into the performances as well. she's always been a multi-tasker and juggled many things. the bottom line is that this woman is 60 years old. she has less mental and physical energy than she used to -- yet she still does more on stage than artists half her age.

i thought the performance was pretty good from what i've seen so far. the setlist actually worked. it's true that m's voice and energy level isn't what it used to be, but we've honestly been spoiled. it's crazy that she maintained it for as long as she did. she's sixty. and her dancing was much more on point last night than during eurovision. my only complaint is that i just don't think the autotune makes much sense live. she either needs to lip those parts or sing with her natural voice.

Crave.. disco?
maybe she has a bootleg of that remix that is apparently being released in 2020.

i wouldn't be surprised if she ends up doing part of "i don't search i find." i don't think doing "faz" is a bad idea since people seem to love it, but it would be unfortunate if "vogue" were the only classic.

killers is in my top 5. the lyrics are a little simple but the melody, vocals and production are top-notch.

Highly doubt fat ass Mooriah could ever do this!! Madonna the risk taker, the bold and the beautiful is back to slay everyone with the gun that’s in her brain!!
mariah has never been a political artist. why the constant need to compare m to other female artists, especially in this thread?

so i went back and watched again and i'm still confused about the time stamps. i get that it's telling the story backwards, but the last few time stamps keep going earlier as discodonna is getting ready to go out. so it's 9:50 or something when she's putting on her makeup, but then 9:40ish when she climbs out the window. anyone make any sense of that?

i like midtempo remixes but did he actually slow the vocals down?
