DEMO Discussions (Spoilers Ahead)

[mtzlplk]

I don't listen much to the second leaks bunch. I'm oversaturated with leaks, i just can't. I just listened to the Rebel Heart accoustic, thouh, and it's so beautiful.

I would love to hear Arioso but i will wait a bit.

I never get tired of the first bunch of leaks, though!!!!

same here, the first bunch was definitely superior

dare i say it but Rebel Heart is like a hybrid of American Life and COADF

[Guest bluejean]

I don't really care if the songs are preachy or not. I just care if they're good or not.

[Guest bluejean]

Hey guys new member here, and stupid in love with Madonna, lol. I couldn't contain myself and listened to the second leak of songs, but of course I will be buying the album when it comes out, which in my opinion should be much sooner than the set time because if she waits until March the leaks will continue and it will kill the promotion of the album. There are only three songs I feel iffy about, Graffiti Heart, Body Shop and the song that is supposed to be feauturing Pharell. Every other song is amazing in its own way, and I can see Ghost Town becoming a huge hit.

Maybe she's not ready until then though...

[george28]

I am quite confident she can be ready before then. The songs are done, if there is a tweak to make here and there I say just do it and release it. I think the album has more potential to reach its full success that way rather than delay it and have leaks surfacing every week.

[Mensch]

^^^ I think it'll be a bigger hit if she takes her time promoting and letting the songs speak for themselves. This is a strong material. Edgy and ahead of itself with throwbacks all over the place but with Madonn's special touch. Let things run its course.

She has to film a video, post production, the Grammys, Versace...it's all gonna build up such an incredible first single. The remixes are naturally the next step that will catapult the song/single where it needs to be by February/March!

[Mensch]

Can we stop and talk about how incredible Nothing Lasts Forever and SEX are !!!! They are perfect.

[svperstar]

Sex is awful. But not just downright bad... HILARIOUSLY bad. Seriously it may go on and have a life as one of the most legendary bad songs she has EVER done.

lmao agreed how do u feel about back it up? not feelin it

[JimmyJimmy]

I seriously can't wait for you guys to hear the final version/demo 2 of Iconic! It's epic and sounds NOTHING like the demo. The demo is a very rough draft of the final version wich is much more more anthemic and powerful. I think it will definitely make the album. There is just no way it's not going to.

Nothing Lasts Forever and Never Let Me Go (I haven't heard NLMG so far) are what later became Ghosttown, right?

The songs I REALLY want to be included are:

Iconic

Inside Out (This song is fucking PERFECT!)

S.E.X. (There HAS TO BE at least one sexual song on this album and this song is really good!)

Veni Vidi Vici (I'm not 100% convinced about it but it's a keeper I guees due to the retrospective parts)

Heartbreak City (I still love this song a lot. I'm sure the final version is going to sound very different but I wouldn't mind this song staying acoustic.)

Rebel Heart (This song was always kinda meh to me. I mean it's great and all but it seriously isn't as good as some people make it out to be. But it's the title track and ppl seem to like it so I assume she should keep it.)

reworked:

Holy Water (I have a soft spot for this one. I can see it being like an triple-upgraded version of Candy Shop if reworked by Dahi/BD)

Body Shop (This song is just so cute! Ugh...It has so much potential, in my opinion)

I have most of the leaked demos I have labled with their actual number. The number of the unleaked versions is pretty much assumed. Meaning that if there's a demo called #5 I'm assuming that there automatically has to be demos #1 - 5 as well. The same goes for demos tagged #1. There is a great possibility that if there's a demo labled #1 that there are more to follow, at least one. Especially, since the first demos so far have all been either really rough or more acoustic. However, I can't give you guys 100% gurantee on this.

[Guest bluejean]

I can imagine the final version of Iconic being really good. Although it sounds like some of a Chris Brown song or something. It even makes me think of MJ bait. It's the sort of lyrics he would have written.

[JimmyJimmy]

DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE TO ASK ME FOR UNLEAKED STUFF VIA PM WHEN LITERALLY EVERY WEEK A NEW BUNCH OF DEMOS IS LEAKING!!!

[ITG]

Settle down mate.

Jeezuz!

You issue in your private messages should be kept private.

*'70s style porno guitar* Drop...Drop...Drop...Drop*wake up*DropDropDropDropDropDropDropDrop*wake up*RututututThundumMungumRututututThundumMungum ...OMG Orgasm Overload

Which track is this?

EDIT: Oh, it's "Back That Up".

THANK YOU FUCKING MUCH FOR BEING SO FUCKING CLEAR.

[svperstar]

I kinda like "Back that Up". It's a total throw-back to Hard Candy and definitely wont be on the album or anything, but I enjoy the listen.

[Crystal Coffin]

I'm loving HOLY WATER at the moment.

BITCH GET OFF MY POLE?

[Tvat Jens]

Love songs with a political message and do not consider them preachy... would not mind Madonna releasing a full albums of songs like Revolution and Freedom. Freedom is great, but does need some work before getting released.

[Guest bluejean]

Madonna can preach the shit out of me. Preach to me like a God The Madonna!!

[mamifero]

FINALLY found the acoustic versions of RH and WAOM.

They're beautiful

[nightcutter]

W

FINALLY found the acoustic versions of RH and WAOM.

They're beautiful

WAOM especially. I don't like the first demo version.

[Bill]

Freedom has become one of my faves and when she sings "I want to start a revolution of love" i just melt.

YES!!!!!!

[Bill]

FINALLY found the acoustic versions of RH and WAOM.

They're beautiful

WAOM acoustic is up there with her best ballads ever, and could be her most beautiful vocal ever

[Pink Matter]

I'm an open book I let you cum inside of me

Loooool

I love SEX

You got a bad attitudeeeeeeeee

Can you be my father?

You can punish me or maybe I will punish you

[aorlaan]

WAOM acoustic is up there with her best ballads ever, and could be her most beautiful vocal ever

agreed.. I didnt like WAOM when it first leaked the production ruined it

[mamifero]

The first batch of leaks was so awesome that I wasn't feeling the second batch, but they're growing on me now

[Pink Matter]

She has worked so hard for this album, we're getting the best of her!

[blossom]

'Body Shop' has a lot of potential. If she swaps the trite lyrics for some of her excellent storytelling it would be ace! It kind of reminds me of Paul Simon's 'Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes' musically - very different and quite exciting stuff.

[Wunderkind]

The amount of amazing tracks is really mind blowing. There's really only one song that I never need to hear again (Holy Water) but the rest is either already great or has the potential to be great. 30 years into her career and she can still deliver a masterpiece of an album. Speechless.

[OddlyEven]

First songs listened to today:

Beautiful Scars

Inside Out

I keep telling myself I'll stop listening to them because when the album is released and I own it, I want it to feel fresh again. But I can't stay away from those two songs!

[karbatal]

Wash all over and rebel heart accoustic are superb. S. E. X. Too like an erotica bside

[markm]

I wanna know what you’re all about

You’re beautiful when you’re broken down

Let your walls crumble to the ground

Let me love you from the inside out

Every scar that you try to hide

All the dark corners of your mind

Show me yours, and I’ll show you mine

Let me love you from the inside out

She sings Inside Out with so much emotion. This track has to be on RH, the melody, the voice, the crunchy synths are EVERYTHING
