Bjornvegards Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) After 3-4 listenings I think it’s brilliant. At first I thought, oh no, now I can’t wait for the album. Edited April 17, 2019 by Bjornvegards

Sure in the sense of Madonna's discography it is an uncharted sound, but i'm not feeling this song as much i would like. It feels like a filler for the album and there is a lot of Maluma on it, much more than any other colaboration she has ever done. I agree I doubt it will be the best of what the album has to offer and perhaps we will all be judging on first single once we hear the album, but I think as a starter it's decent. I agree there's a ton on Maluma, but it's got an interesting sound and doesn't slap of commercial as much as her other collaborations that sounded manufactured rather then cohesive. Im excited more for the disco track she shot in the theatre over this Latin track although I am nicely enjoying it.

Alfastar Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 I’ve gone from not liking it to really liking it now, really strange how all of a sudden I was hooked, so far 8/10
S.E.X. Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 I will not comment any further on this track because I know my opinion on this song may anger some die-hard fans from what I've seen in the other thread. What I will say is that I still have a bit of hope for the rest of the album but I really don't expect much. Then again, she gave me everything I was hoping for with her last album. I will probably survive an album that is 100% not my cup of tea.
rekha Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 It took me a little while to get into (as others have said it seems to be a grower) but have it on repeat now. Only wish I knew more Spanish

Geiger83 Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 After a couple of listenings and a apause I'm really feeling and loving it. It is a grower. Madonna is a pop genius!
whyme? Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 I'm blasting La Isla Bonita now. I feel so much better

I hated Bitch i'm madonna at first then i loved it. It's weird how you can not like a song and the more you listen to it You love it.
Adriano Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 someone made a solo and a bit faster version on youtube....
daniel11lopez Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Love the beat/music... lyrics are kinda cringey though...

JR! Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 "Good" Certainly a grower! It is indeed her best lead single since "Hung Up"
Guest Amelia aka Neutrocks Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 I rated "good". I was a bit underwhelmed first, but the more I listened, I realized it's just a fun track kicking off another fantastic era of Madonna music. It's very 2019 which is what she and her team wants. I'm sure it will be a huge hit in the Latin markets. It's definitely aimed at general consumption, but not sure if it will be the huge hit they hope it to be. I've listened to it many times already. Maluma's part is really fun as well.
the-queen Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 If the whole album is this good I’m thinking it will threaten ROL. No joke.
jjmor95 Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 For the time being, it's good. Catchy, fun, warm, great post-chorus/bridge, and it doesn't sound as "mainstream" as some of the other songs circulating the pop/Latin pop market.
Butter9 Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 Heavenly and beyond. I didn't even know who Maluma was until Madonna started working with him . Love the mellow vibe .Perfect summer song .
Danmacevents Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 I hated it at first. Listened over and over and I'm obsessed. It's current but very mature. The production is amazing. When she's bad she's good but when she's good she's incomparable.
Adriano Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 the audio got more than 1 million in less than 12 hours. This is really good for an audio youtuve video. the video will do great. I bet the other songs also sound different, and that mirwais comment... I have high hopes. so excited!!

Shane Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 I actually do not think that it sounds like Maluma featuring Madonna. Madonna is the major component of the song, and she feels like far more of a presence here than on “4 Minutes.”
peppermint Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 I am obsessed with it!! I'm totally addicted to this gem!! 5 stars!!!!!!!
Kurt420 Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 I'm here for the double single strategy and it's very exciting to know in two weeks we'll have a new song to sink our teeth into but I really hope they don't let this just fall by the wayside. This song is a grower and it's too good to neglect! Loving more with every listen. Rate = EXCELLENT This is her most bullshit free lead single since HU. Last time we had the leaks that messed everything up, GMAYL had terrible reception from the get-go, 4M had the "trend chasing" argument. Even HU had naysayers, especially at first.....but most came around because the song was great. Really feel like that will be the case here as the era progresses, regardless of whether it turns into a hit or not. It's just pure Madonna.
Danmacevents Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 Its beautiful. I wasn't impressed at first. I'm flying to Spain tomorrow. It's perfect.

Maybe they should wait a little more for a second single. Maybe the week before the Eurovision. Give Medellín at least a month of slaying our hearts before comes another and takes the crown
mmmike Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 This is a 10/10. It’s summery and vibey. It’s a collaboration that still sounds like Madonna. This will definitely make introduce Madonna to a new generation while still satisfying her fan base. Madonna and Muluma sounds beautiful together!
