Michael. Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 I feel like the verses are the best part. The lyrics are legit.
Michael. Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 BTW is it strange we haven't been told of a video date? Medellin had a big release but there is no news about a video for the "official" first single unless I've missed it?
Carta Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 I love this! The melodies are beautiful, the harmonies are clever and so well done (Madonna was spot on when she said she thought Swae Lee had the right voice for the song) - Madonna and her collaborators have succeeded in creating a fantastic modern pop song. Maybe I'm just easily pleased, but this woman never ceases to move me and connect with me...!
the-queen Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 Indeed, Carta. She just releases amazing music that clicks with me almost immediately. My Madonna cravings are dangerous.

I opened it now and it's people talking about reactions form elsewhere or made up reactions or the reaction of one poster 10 hours ago. I truly think people are looking for negative stuff now just so they have SOMETHING to moan about. Perplexing. True. Am seeing rave reviews everywhere on this forum. We are not even getting the trolls which is fantastic. Noticed a lot more trolls when Rebel Heart was released.
Mlvcfan Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 I haven't read any of the comments yet cause I didn't want to be influenced by any. My first reaction to Crave is I freaking LOVE it . Listened 3 times just to be sure lol. I feel like it's the best of the 3 released so far. Madamex is going to be Great.

Madonna does ballad type songs better than anyone. The harmonizing during the chorus is soothing and like a relief from the worry the singer (Madonna) refers to, having a dangerous craving.

Noticed a lot more trolls when Rebel Heart was released. In general I'm seeing a lot of positivity about the entire Madame X era. Not just here but in the media in general. It feels like most people actually want her to succeed. I think that there is such a drought in creativity from the current artists that Madame X is a refreshing change. People are actually recognizing her artistry.

(the maduma chem on the other hand is more visual and sensational).
jjmor95 Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 I think they have a hit coming their way! Love it, a bit short but extremely catchy. This should go down well with radio stations in the U.S.
swimtoshore Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 ok i managed to wait until midnight to listen, and this damn song has been stuck in my head ever since. It is soooo beautiful - sweet, melodic, melancholy, and sexy all at once. I am really loving how M is exploring different vocal techniques with these new songs, and her voice blends so well with Swae Lee here. Home run!
Humberto77rj Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 I don't know why, but it reminds me of the demo version of Beautiful Scars. Which should have been a single in that format. Simple, Beautiful and amazingly produced. Love it.
cardiganstarlet Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 I really like it and find it very melodic and current. Can’t wait for the video! Love her look In the teaser... i don’t personally get BS vibes but who am I to say it isn’t there. i find her singing style in the verses very Sia-esque... would love to have had them collaborate back in MDNA so am kinda imagining this could have been their fruition!
peppermint Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 Addictive..infectious...brilliant!! You are left craving for more!!!!!

Crystal Coffin Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 The short length is perfect. It makes the song sound mysteriously unfinished
Love Technician Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 God I fucking love this song. It takes me to that special place that only Madonna's voice can take me. I find myself drifting off whilst listening to it, everything around me stops for a moment. I adore this Woman so much...
mrsmith Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 Should we make a new thread to show radio AirPlay and streaming strategies? It seems like this single will be pushed in US and I definitely want to help it at radio.
Iconic Fetus Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 I like the song, is easy to get into, the melody is great, the length is perfect, hopefully they promote well this time, with the video and maybe a performance, this can be a sleeper hit and I see it alive until the album comes out.
