Shane Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I know most of you want the outright dance songs, but all I ask is that Madame X please contain at least two ballads. Three would be great, but I would be happy with two. I can’t wait for this project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I that may be Bitch I'm Loca as it sounds very latin/colombian inspired and Maluma is on that track as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I bet Future is the controversial video that was shot in LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frzndrwnwrld Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 My guesses: Dark Ballet and I Rise are ballads. Future is a "Bitch, I'm Madonna" kind of song. Crave is mid-tempo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real_Madonna Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I assume this text from the M store has been posted? "Also the hymnic song "I Rise", the Jamaican dancehall vibes of "Future" feat. Quavo and coproduced by Diplo, and the acoustically innovative "Dark Ballet", produced by Mirwais, are just a few examples." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes!!!! Possibly. 6 hours ago, strictmachine said: It sure is! As much as I enjoyed the demo and am curious to hear what the “finished product” sounds like, I kinda wish she would’ve left that project in the past and stuck to the new stuff she’s created since then. I have a feeling something like "Back That Up" has been heavily reworked. I doubt they'd just slap a leaked demo as a bonus track. Or so I'm guessing...

I doubt they'd just slap a leaked demo as a bonus track. Or so I'm guessing... I can imagine Mirwais re-working “Back That Up,” which was already an innovative type of track — unfinished lines that have their blanks filled in later ... very Mirwais-ish. Do you know what I mean? Compare opening verse of “Die Another Day” — “I’m gonna kiss some part of” — with “Back That Up” where many of the lines end with “of” on the first time they’re sung. Later they are inserted: (fun) (drum) (gun) (one) ... if I’m remembering it right. Would have to listen to it again. Of the Pharrell outtakes from RH recording sessions, I’m kind of surprised she didn’t pick “Take It Back” to re-furbish for this project. Sounds a little more disco to me, and it has a mention of “Mercury in retrograde” which she continues to mention on IG from time to time. ”Take a Day” (the third Pharrell demo we haven’t mentioned yet) was a very peculiar sound — almost throwback, vintage. But I feel like that escapist vibe is in the DNA of Medellín, and the repeated “Ven” echoes that ricochet through the cha-cha breakdown section recall the “bang bang”s from “Take a Day” (to me), too. It’s funny — someone else here mentioned the “bang”s in his review and I wanted to post and say it is probably “ven” but I thought it was “bang” at first, too, and it reminded me of “Take a Day.” Also, perhaps less so, the original (more Mika sounding) pre-“Gang Bang” demo “Bang Bang Boom.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the diversity she brings. She is such a wonderful singer as can fully nail any type of musical genre and sounds fantastic doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebelheart Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Future has a Jamacian dancehall vibe, so think Unapogetic Bitch or Beyonce's Hold Up, both produced by Diplo. Also Mirwais reworked both Back That Up & Faz Gostoso. He produced around 10 tracks on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
