Eyeslikethedesert Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 Loved it. The "I rise" line instantly gets stuck in your head. Love her vocal and super catchy.

Shane Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 Thank you Madonna! Best run of album closers of any artist ever, and that’s whether you count Wash All Over Me or Rebel Heart!

Sounds like that closer on B’s Lemonade (not specifically but just the feeling of it closing the album) and the verse melody reminds me of some Ariana track ...not to bring them up but just saying it’s fresh and current enough to appeal to an audience that may ignore her but still, it’s beautiful and well done well beyond these girls skills...and the video is gorgeous. Just listened to it for the first time and I can totally hear what you mean. Very current but pure Madonna......it's what she does best. No matter what "current" sound she integrates into her work, she always seems to bring a level of sophistication and skill that the others just don't seem to be capable of. I can definitely hear this as an album closer. Can now understand the Queen comparisons too....I like I Rise better though, I feel like it's just stronger melodically. Love the production and LOVE her voice.....even (and especially) the auto-tune parts. I feel like it enhances the song on that last part. No doubt this is going to end up sitting comfortably with Rebel Heart, Falling Free, Easy Ride, Mer Girl etc as among her best album closers. This song is more instant than Medellin but it's still a grower in a sense too. There's a lot to take in with this song!
swimtoshore Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 this is very cool. Love her vocal delivery in the verses and LOVE the ending with the vocoder effects and then the strings.
OhFather Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 I’m sure this was discussed, so forgive me, but who is narrating the opening?
reQuiem4adream Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 I wish the outro was longer resembling Hyperballad's.
antoniotorres Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 A beautiful inspirational ballad that only Madonna can deliver. Truly lovely!
frzndrwnwrld Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 I hate to be negative but I think the song is just ok. Sounds like a b-side from Rebel Heart. Looking forward to hearing the other tracks but this one doesn't do much for me.
kubi Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 I enjoyed the chorus, the visuals are nice as well. The Les Mis Madonna is my fav.
luizotaviobarros Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 This song is getting near universal praise on YouTube and Twitter. Lots and lots of people saying this is the Madonna that they love. Lots of Brazilians saying they’re in tears listening to this track (given what we’re going through politically). I dont love the song yet, but I’m stunned by people’s reactions so far. Let’s wait until tomorrow, of course, but I’m quietly wondering if this, against all odds, might become more than just an album track.

Supernatural Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 This lead up to the album release is shaping up to be one of the best in Madonna's history. Just when you recover from one thing, they give you more.
boy skeffington Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 It’s instantly incredible. The kind of song only Madonna can do. So inspired! She’s singing classic Madonna yet in an entirely different style. Taking risks. Queen Emma is fire too. listen #6 - this song is a hit
Get Together Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 You guys, I can't stop playing this song over and over
FeTuoni Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 Since morning I can’t stop listening to it. What a song. “No one can hurt you now unless you want them to No one can hurt you now unless you love them too” brilliant lyrics.
Shane Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 Instant classic. I do not consider this a ballad. It’s a midtempo. Madonna is the ultimate.
Aries Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 So we’ve gotten the album opener containing a mid tempo cha-cha and now we know the closer with it’s slower r&b vibe....so what’s the next move

Madame X will have it all. I Rise is everything!
rocknrolla Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 I LOVE IT!!! One of my favorite songs of hers in years. Sounds like it could be a current hit. I wish she would have made a million dollar video for this intead of (wasting it on) Medellin.
Kurt420 Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 Yeah, song is amazing and a perfect album closer but definitely doesn't scream "single" to me at all. Medellin is most def not a "conventional" single but it still sounds like a single to me.
itzjak Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 Esto es muy Madonna comadres, nada de veyonzes ni arianas, solo Madonna
frzndrwnwrld Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 I preordered a Madame X shirt on Madonna.com and it came with a digital download of the album. I just got an email that "I Rise" unlocked for me. I think that's really cool! I thought it would only do that for people who preordered on iTunes and stuff.
