She took risks, it wasn't a safe bet and whether you love the album or hate it - she stayed true to her vision and gave us one of the most interesting pieces of her career.
Its my #4 Madonna album, and rightly so. As a whole, it's a stunning piece of art.

It's an amazing song. It closes the album very well! Madonna's voice is really soothing (I especially love when she says "PUSHED"!
).
YES! Love that.
I really would like these tracks to appear on Spotify at some point.
-
I am forever grateful she created this album. A fuck you to the Kylie loving, poppers sniffing mafia who jumped ship as soon as there wasn't a track they could get their feather boas out to.
Everything about this album is genuinely genius and I'm so glad she stayed true to her vision.
-
It's my least favourite on the album. Not that I don't have a certain appreciation for it. I don't despise it like I do Bitch, I'm Madonna
-
I require a version released sans Quavo and with Madonna new verse please
-
I wasn't that bothered about I Rise at first... months later I'm really enjoying it.

Madame X is unique.
I felt like I had to put her to one side for a while. Like so many have said, she is such a rich body of work and hard to digest.
I listened again from beginning to end last night for the first time in weeks. It's the only way for this story to be told - in sequence and as a fully body of work.
I stand by my reaction in the first few weeks; it's in my top 3 Madonna albums. I feel like that goes; Erotica, Ray of Light, Madame X.
I've never got the love for the AL album. I see how people can compare her to that, but for me she is far more complex both in themes and in sound. Madame X feels like her own entity and feels more like a Tori Amos or Kate Bush album; conceptual and raw. I don't mind the auto tune; I feel like it adds to the mystique of Madame X.
I'm glad we got her and I've gotten to know her so well. She feels like a friend, though one that only visits when she can. I don't expect her to stick around for too long each visit; and she is the one doing all the talking when we meet. She's interesting and arresting but she's never going to make me feel warm; she's just here to inform.

Just checked BBC Radio 2 to see if ‘Crave’ has been sent this week, like it has in some European countries, but no sign on their update today
They renew their play lists on a Wednesday so it'll be next Wednesday if there's any sign of it
-
Crave is the safest option to push at Radio if that's what they're doing. It's gorgeous, and a grower.

No, you interpreted it correctly. Mirwais specifically said “listen to Extreme Occident, her voice transcends naturally”! Meaning not all of the songs he did with her have autotune. And then when he says that no one bothers other artists for their use of autotune, he obviously refers to other songs Madonna did where she chose to have it. Anyways, all I hear in Extreme Occident is her voice being mastered, but there’s no autotune.
I didn't think EO had auto tune to be honest.
-
I feel like it's still am album I need to set aside an hour for to listen to in its entirety. Much like Erotica; Madame X's sister. They need to be enjoyed in a full setting rather than the odd individual track.
-
Very gorgeous. Natural and just gorgeous
-
Looking forward to this

OK this has changed as I knew it would

The only song I don't care for is Crazy. Though it's far from a bad song. I feel like it needs a remix or... something.
-
Today it's Come Alive.. yesterday was EO
Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
-
The UK was never really going to get behind something as dark as MX. That's fine. I don't think the mindless zombies who find Sheeran and Capaldi appealing would ever get this project.
-
Imagine an album where she brought Pat Leonard and Mirwais on board for the whole process
-
Is there a summary of what she said about all the songs?

Why? Lewis Capaldi is bloody awful. Like a Scottish Ed Sheeran.
The safe and soulless appeal to the drones of the UK dominate the charts these days. None of them interesting in the slightest. They also look like rejects from Fraggle Rock ago just happened to learn an instrument.

Proud to be a Madonna fan. She made this breath taking, statement, on film. Only Madonna would do this.
A career high album (let's call Madame X what it is) and such fantastic imaginative, thoughtful videos. I have to say, this is an exciting and rewarding time to be a fan of Madonna. She's spoiled the fuck out of us all. Whilst maintaining her vision, focus and integrity. No one like her before, there will be no one like her after she's gone.
A true star. So glad she is giving us her all creatively after so long.
I feel lucky and blessed. We all should.
Thank you, Madonna.

Powerful. Amazing. Good for her

Update, no early sales info for M, but had she released this week she would be number 1. Will Youngs first sales update is 10.5k which is roughly half of Madame X first update last week
