"Crave" thread (2nd single)


Recommended Posts

Crave it's like 100% Madonna. It has such an awesome vibe to it, and it's like a fusion of Bedtime Stories and American Life. I get a very experimental, folktronika, world music vibe from the song. 

And it's actually really cool to see long-time Madonna fans feeling confused by the song. Remember when Music came out and everyone was so confused and it then became a classic? 😁

Totally dig Swae Lee's bit too. It's not overwhelming and his voice fits perfectly with the vibe of the song. 

So far none of them have been kind of dancefloor bangers or anything close, which actually makes me really excited for this album. Very different from M's latest releases.

Based on what we have heard so far, and the all the Madame X concept and persona, I feel there's a much more mature, reflective, experimental, and musically diverse undercurrent guiding the album, which is really exciting!

It's great. Another grower. And whoever said to stop worrying about streaming etc is SO right. M clearly isn't. I'm so happy to be a fan again. I was never unhappy but I do now realise I have maybe over hyped her previous recent albums because it was Madonna. Well no need this time. I'm in love.

Okay, finally heard it and super relieved.  From some of the descriptions, I was worried this was gonna be trying too hard.   It was not like that at all.  It actually sounds very mature and dare I say, I prefer it to the other two songs released so far (and I like Medellin).   The backing vocals are everything.

Is she going to serve us with an experimental Bedtime Stories-Music-American Life world-sounds infused album Because if she is, I'll totally here for it.

I think we are on the verge of another creative peak for M. 🙌🙌🙌🙌

Bittersweet summer chilling' track . So beautiful and haunting . So Madonna. PERFECT .

Madame X is shaping up to be an AMAZING album !

This album to me sound the most exciting since confessions. I rise is her best song since Get Together and Medellin is her best lead single since Music. 

Also the image and performances around this era are so much better instead of the "I'm still 25" persona she had for the last few :|

OMG....I can't stop playing it lol.  It's current without sounding desperate or vapid.   I suspect this might become one of my favourite M tracks in recent years (although there might be more pleasant surprises in the album).

Shat that it leaked! Off w/ the perpetrator's head, hmp.

That said, the guitar licks are heavenly. A sweet nod to AL but flavored for current consumption.

Swae and M vocals work well. Better than M + M (And I luv that track.) But in the first verse, why is she mumbling?

Crave should be released only in U.S.A because It's NOT going to be a worldwide hit.

The rest of the world deserves another Madame X representation.

Madonna is not going to have another world wide hit. There's just not enough support. There's support for Madonna but not the music. It's getting critical acclaim and that's more important. She's not chasing it neither should you. We have new Madonna music. Inspired videos. Passion. And a new tour. We are so lucky.

Ok, forget the worldwide hit.

Europe and latinoamerica are not into songs like CRAVE.  So why not a different second single for that audience?  FUTURE for us!

But by releasing this song she is concerned with streaming. This is whats hot now. Chill Midtempo songs. Especially with Swae Lee. Hes the 6th most listened to artist on spotify. 

I agree with the rest of your post though.

True. She still needs to 'sell' the album to the GP. A catchy, current yet still Madonna-sounding single guest-starring a most in-demand artist is smart, especially in the US.

Lee's voice blends so well with hers.

It's a perfect chill out Summer song. With the previous tracks it wasn't live at first listen for me . But this one was like "WOWWWWWW" !

I wasn't sure I liked it at first but it's starting to grow on me. But i still like Medellin and I Rise way more.

The small snippet from the album teaser is still the most impressive track we've heard, and we have yet to hear the whole thing. Funny enough said song is exclusive to the deluxe version.

Okay, I tried to not listen but there was a snippet on ... and this is GOOD. I can totally hear this on radio and I get why it’s a single choice. Idk what verse I’m hearing but I absolutely love it. Can’t wait for the full song on Friday!
