Plaything Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Fuck this shit! I couldn't wait any longer and caved in and listened. YAAAAAASSSSSSS, my favourite song out of the 5 tracks we heard so far. I never liked the Beautiful Game bit at the MET Gala but I love it here. It's brave of her to put it as the second track on the album and I love the fact that she just did her thing here. Mirwais delivered (as expected) and I can't wait to hear what else they created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Je5u5 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I've played this on a loop for the past hour or so. What a mindfuck of a song. Now this is artpop. Can't get enough of how the song descends into a mad piano solo and then a Kraftwerkesque Nutcracker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant wait for Pride!!! I’m gonna be on the Stonewall Float! Yeah, I just get the impression that some are expecting her to release all these catchy pop songs when this album seems to be about her artistry. I like the idea that each song so far has been pretty different from one another. And wow, you're going to be on the Stonewall Float! How exciting. HAVE FUN!

Guest dcbyebyebaby Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Yes this song would benefit from being at least 6 minutes. Its great as it is but it really feels like the type of song that should be over 6 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the little turds are getting SCHOOLED.....if not, they will be soon cuz you know they're all gonna listen to it. Regarding the video, is it possible that it may not be an actual music video but more just a "visual" like the audio videos for I Rise and Crave? Obviously, this would be a bit more "amp'd up" than those two but.....is a bit odd if M isn't going to be in it so much.....then again, this is an odd song so perhaps it's fitting!

I don't think it will be your typical music video as the song isn't just a typical song either. Though, I think it will be considered a "music video". Anymore, it gets confusing what are visuals and what are music videos... like in the same vein as... what are promotional releases and singles. LOL! I know there is a difference, but for most people who don't pay closely attention, may not see much of a difference.

It's interesting because all the "missed opportunities" for singles that most people site over the last couple of albums like Gang Bang, Falling Free, Love Spent, Joan Of Arc, Devil Pray etc....none sound like traditional "singles" to me but I do agree that they're among the best of those albums. Seems like this time she's really going more that route, a sort of "NTP" approach to her singles (minus Crave....that one DOES sound like a radio hit to my ears anyways) releasing Medellin first, then I Rise as a teaser now this......Future is catchy af but with all it's distortions and such, not sure if it'd be a good "single". Anyways, loving her approach this time. Seems like she's giving us all sorts of flavors, an "anything goes" kind of feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the times listed on Wikipedia, God Control is the longest track coming in at over six minutes. Killers Who Are Partying is over five minutes long and is the second longest track.

Yeah, I only look as if "Medellin" and "Crave" are true singles since both have been served for general consumption. But anymore, she no longer has support to chart, so I'm all for her going the artistic route and then see what sticks. I did wish she did go forth on her idea for a Gang Bang video even if she couldn't get Quentin T., she could have gotten someone else who may have been able to direct her vision. "Crave" is probably the closest we're going to get to chart success! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karbatal Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 1 hour ago, YannBouch said: It’s hard the believe Medellín and Dark ballet are next to each other on the same album. What a bold album That was my thought too. I adore the fact that the album starts with Medellin and turns into Dark Ballet. We can really expect the unexpected after this. I LOVE Dark Ballet. Future left me a bit cold but this really made me shiver again! My fav keeps being I Rise followed by Medellin. Third comes Dark Ballet. But they're so different that it's almost impossible to rank!

MamboDoesItBetter Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Pretty certain going off by all the interviews and social media output that MX will be a visual album. My thoughts were confirmed when M said she has been going through “back2back video shoots” with no sleep in the NYT article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voguerista Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Wow, right from the beginning, I was mesmerized and loving the dark beats. Then when the piano solo started, I was so completely sold. HUGE HUGE kudos to Mirwais and Madonna coming up with something so different and theatrical. It's so BEAUTIFUL, CREATIVE, HAUNTING, and so MASTERFUL!!! This will be so perfect for the Madame X tour with the video as a backdrop. I can't wait to see what Madonna and her dancers put together for this performance and story. STUNNED! She does it again!!!
