bitsy Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 Rise > Crave > Medellin I hate her vocals on the "1, 2, 1, 2, 3" parts on the song they sound so rough. Maluma is also unnecessary. I love the shorted version without these parts though. Rise is just perfect and Crave is nice, but I want to think the best is yet to come.
Musicinferno Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 Medellin 10 Crave 10 I Rise 8 Medellin and Crave are equally strong songs though totally different and both have immense replay value - I never get tired to listen to them, they only get better with each listen. I Rise pales a little in comparison.
jjmor95 Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 At the moment: #1 - Crave #2 - Medellín #3 - I Rise Not ready to rate the songs out of 10.
Onimalien Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 1 - Crave : I'm completely in love with this song but most of all with her voice and the way she sings... Such humanity and fragility 2 - Medellin : A very good song, very cleverly produced and built... I love the bridge and the chorus but the voice effects blocks me from being moved by the verses even though the lyrics are beautiful 3- I Rise : I think this song will make more sense once hearing the full album... If it was sang with the same intentions as Crave I would probably be addicted
JohnnyUtah Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) Medellin 9/10 --> It's so fresh, catchy and original, a perfect combination of the best Madonna, Mirwais style and Maluma's charm. For me it's already a classic. Crave 8'5/10 --> Really beautiful, a delicate and touching ballad. Sometimes less is more. Swae Lee is one of the best featurings she's ever had. I Rise 6'5/10 --> It's a good song but not my type. I like the multi-layered chorus and overall good production. It's a fine way to end the album. Edited May 12, 2019 by JohnnyUtah
sul8323 Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 Medellin 11/10 It is that damn good. I love every single thing about this song. This is an instant classic. So complex and delicious. An absolute delight. Crave 9.5/10. The bridge gives me serious Justify My Love vibes. Swae Lee is great on it and the two blend fantastically. I love the mumble rap. This song is exactly what a featured artist selection should be. Perfection. Would get a 10 if the lyrics were just a bit more clear. It is just a little hard to understand what she is singing, here and there. Still love this song. I Rise. 9/10. Would get a 10 if it was longer. It is a bit too short to be anthemic. I also wish that she had included additional "speeches" to extend the message to other issues. However, I love the lyrics and the autotune actually works for me. Just wish that it was longer.
Genevieve Vavance Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 Well, they are alll gorgeous!! but if I had to put them in order it would be smth like 1. Crave 10/10 2. Medellin 7/10 3. I Rise 6/10

StrikeItUp Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 Medellín 9/10 Crave 7.5/10 I Rise 2/10 - total letdown considering the buildup
whyme? Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 1 Crave 2 Medellin 3 I rise None of the songs really scream "WOW". They're average. Looking forward to the album!!!
alen Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 Medellin_____6/10 (Video 10/10) that song gives me feeling like Maluma part is a paste copy on some cool Madonna solo demo song I rise______5/10, 100% Madonna song, multi-layer vocal kills the vibe of the song, production try to imitates Mirwais past work and fails Crave_____8/10, best featuring in any Madonna collaboration, don't like that repeating; rush, russssh, rushh, ...komm, komg, kong, love, luv, luuvvv!!!???? and if producers find better vocal ideas for that part the song will, for me be 10/10
Guest Amelia aka Neutrocks Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) I must admit, all three didn't grab me right off. Most definitely, they are growers, and I think "Crave" is so damn infectious. I listen to that one the most of the three. But compared to her catalog, these don't hold a candle to most of her iconic songs: I Rise: 7/10 Interestingly enough, this song I like right off than the other two, but I listen to this the less. Medellin: 8/10 It took a few listens before I got into this one, but it's great. I think Maluma completes this song very much. His parts grabbed me more than Madonna's. Crave: 9/10 I agree this is "pop perfection". I love everything about this song. Again, Swae Lee makes this song pop just as Madonna. I have a feeling these songs aren't even the best off the album. But they are so darn fun to listen to, especially "Medellin" and "Crave". Edited May 12, 2019 by Amelia aka Neutrocks

Magrat Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 # 1 - Medellin (8/10) # 2 - Crave (7/10) # 3 - I Rise (6/10) Like them all, much better than Living For Love or Bitch I`m Madonna...
Guest Future feat Quavo Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 1. Crave (9/10) 2. Medellín (8.5/10) 3. I Rise (6/10)
Simo9jo Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 1. Medellín (10/10) - Atypical song and song structure and the structure/production are incredible...such a grower. 2. Crave (9/10) - Love the singing, mellowness and Swae Lee is also a genius (Swaecation is excellent) 3. I Rise (8/10) - The more I've listened the more I like it, but feels more like an album track to me, still great and I look forward to hearing it in the context of the full album.
