renee205 Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I hated the Iconic and Veni Vidi Vici demos but now I'm in Love...... The production is effin amazing
Michael. Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 People answer me these questions plz. Is there lots of strings used on the album? Does MADONNA hum at all? Does she do different styles of singing to what she has done before? Does she talk on the album? Like in Erotica days? Would you describe any songs as EUPHORIC? (Example Get Together) 1. I think there is a good use of strings but they aren't prominent on a lot of the tracks like they are in something like Die Another Day. If there is something that there is a lot of, its BASS. So much bass and it fucking kills it. 2. She "raps" in a couple songs. Veni Vidi Vici, is mainly spoken rap verses and singing chorus. She name checks old songs. It's awesome and the build up in Nas's verse is ridiculous. She also has another similar vogue style rap in SEX. 3. Her voice sounds KICK ASS. No crow vocals come to mind from any of the songs. Her voice is a mix of the higher-pitch sound kind of like in Bitch, I'm Madonna and a bit of a return to her deeper Erotica vocals similar to Devil Pray. I also hear Bedtime Story type vocals. In particular on Best Night. It's a kick ass RnB track, kind of Justin Timberlake in style but still definitely Madonna. She also has a few talking parts through out. Think the talking part in Sanctuary and the vocals on JML. Also feels like there are a lot more backing vocals. 4. Iconic is pretty euphoric and as I mentioned there is a pretty big build up in VVV. For me there is a really great positive vibe that comes from the lyrics and sound of the tracks. I can't really describe it but just listening to the song makes me feel "happy". I think a lot of the tracks are empowering too. Even the sad ones seems to have an overall positive message. So in that sense they feel "euphoric" This album really is up with there with her best. It sounds modern and current and youthful. The songs are catchy and make you want to sing a long. There is a great balance between urban/hiphop/dance songs and more easy listening/pop songs. I am totally blown away. If I had to describe it in one word it would be INCREDIBLE.
SOON Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I'm going to make Grilldonna's SEX rap my ringtone
Bill Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 So, Hold Tight is now a masterpiece. Does anyone detect a slight resemblance to "Baby Don't Lie"? And parts of Graffiti Heart are now so completely, fabulously 80's!!! I just love what was done to it.
the-queen Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Am I the only one that finds it odd (and a bit disturbing/gross) that Madonna (a survivor of sexual assault) features Mike Tyson (a convicted rapist) on her album? No. Mike was a violent man and is trying to clean up his act. Goes with the themes of the album actually.
ruey Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 So, Hold Tight is now a masterpiece. Does anyone detect a slight resemblance to "Baby Don't Lie"? And parts of Graffiti Heart are now so completely, fabulously 80's!!! I just love what was done to it. There's a lot more than a slight resemblance, they sound very alike. Hold Tight is far better in any case! I still can't decide which between Hold Tight and Iconic is my new favourite.
Kilt Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I co nic , 2nd Single for sure. Holy shizzz THIS
Kilt Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 If Iconic isn't made a single I'm gonna burn down Live Nation headquarters. Not that they have anything to do with it, but I'll still get my point across regardless. THIS
Kilt Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Guys Iconic has to be second single. It's incredible. ... and THIS!!!
the-queen Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Beautiful Scars is just amazing. That's one of my main jams.

And parts of Graffiti Heart are now so completely, fabulously 80's!!! I just love what was done to it. yes If I'm not wrong there's Ryan Tedder behind Baby Don't Lie, but HOLD TIGHT IS FAR FAR FAR BETTER and less boring, I like Baby don't lie too anyway However both HOLD TIGHT and ICONIC SINGLES please
Tvat Jens Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Some demos were better than the final versions... but does it really matter... I'm happy we have them all and will be looking forward to getting the CD and the Vinyl

reQuiem4adream Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Where can i find the lyrics of Queen? Thanx all! Queen It will never rain, never rain If the great sky falls down, no rain, no more rain Blood's pouring down, high alert, we watch it burn It's a world undeceived, sirens, sirens Everyone's whispering, the CIA, MI6 Hire the unknown We're at the end of days For heaven's sake The queen's been slain She'll never rule again The queen's been slain She'll never rule again Your queen's been slain Queen's been slain That parade, motorcade Destiny sings farewell, church bells Is anyone listening, everywhere, bowed in prayer Tears are falling, coming down, coming down I hear the heavens calling, providence, no evidence There's no confirmation Only silence remains We only know one thing The queen's been slain She'll never rule again The queen's been slain She'll never rule again Your queen's been slain Queen's been slain Who will take her place? It's written on everyone's face The truth is slowly dawning I hear tomorrow calling Some things can't be replaced The realization of a new generation On the eve of imitation All gone, overthrown The queen's been slain She'll never rule again The queen's been slain She'll never rule again Your queen's been slain Queen's been slain May God bless you all May God bless you all May God bless you all
