What an absolute mindfuck of a song. This will most definitely not be everyone's cup of tea.....but I think most M fans that like stuff like Mer Girl, Paradise, AL album etc will like this one. Not single material in the slightest so props to her for having the balls to release this (the way it's looking now anyways) as a single. This is about a million miles away from Bitch I'm Madonna (which I do love too)! I'm simply in awe of her continued ability to change up her sound to the point where it's like listening to a different artist altogether. If it wasn't evident already, this should drive the point home that Madame X isn't necessarily all about that "perfect single". She's going for a vibe here. For years some of her fans have wanted her to release something along the lines of this. Sorry, but even if there is a perfect "disco banger" on the album, quite frankly, I don't think she's that concerned with it. It's not about that this time. I agree totally. The diversity of the five songs released so far is impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanM Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 The only thing that bothers me are the clicks during the piano part. If you listen with earphones they are very prominent on the left side. I can also hear some on Crave and at the end of Future. I don't know how they can go unnoticed by M's team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impr3ssive_instant Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 This is my favorite so far...it is so fucking bonkers. lol. I looooove the nutcracker part. Although like somebody else said, it would have been even better if it was longer and gave each section time to breathe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Amelia aka Neutrocks Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Dark Ballet is definitely one that isn't going to be liked by everyone. Though, upon first listening, I instantly thought this will probably be more suited with a visual. And then I saw that Madonna posted a teaser for the video. I can't wait to see that. I agree with @Kurt420 when he says it's on the lines of her more experimental artsy songs like Mer Girl, Paradise, etc. To me, it's more of a production rather a song. I can definitely see this working well on a theater stage when she tours and again in a video. My favorite part is the spoken part. I love her voice on that part. What a ride she's giving us. So far each release has been very different from one another, with exception of the heavy vocal effects on most of them. I'm hoping there will be a song or two where we hear more of her natural vocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtaticboy82 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 It is the whole Beautiful Game from Met Gala performance including the piano part then suddenly shifts to the Nutcracker tune, with the weird sounds first then the dramatic spoken words from the Eurovision performance. Sounds like it slowly transitions into the next track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberMDNA Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Question here... some people say Madonna only appears on the video like 2 seconds because the video is out in NZ/AUS, are we sure about that?.. it's rare that if that's the case the video is not around the web already like the song. Were they inventing or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Amelia aka Neutrocks Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 For those few who have been overly vocal about not liking Dark Ballet, you might want to stop thinking of her for just producing a "catchy song" for general consumption, and think of her interested in sharing an experimental aesthetic which most likely will come more together for some when the video is released. Still, I don't expect everyone to get it. Though, I'm sure this release is not intended for radio consumption. At this point, radio doesn't really play her, so she's looking outside the box and letting her artistry and vision drive this particular release. I don't know about you, but for the past decade or so I've been digging how Madonna doesn't just come up with only catchy infectious pop songs. She seems to serve a smorgasbord of styles and artistry anymore. Each album, she seems to explore more artistically. I've always thought she was a visual artist, so I think Dark Ballet is a very fitting sampling to deliver to the world, five songs in. I'm sure there will be some catchy songs on the album, but for me, not every song on the album has to be this infectious dance banger some are begging for.

I do believe the “think outside the box” stuff that was mentioned to me is starting to make sense in this context...she’s not chasing radio or releasing singles in the typical ways...or releasing videos that necessarily are singles...she’s just unleashing a plethora of fresh, forward thinking art and we’re all just gonna have to deal!
