poprock Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 I haven't listened to any songs besides Medellín, and I only listened to Medellín a few times. I want to wait for the full album before listening to anymore songs. Am I the only weird person doing this? lol

She want us to get a flavour of the album. I am totally for it. Even having heard the released songs I know I will be surprised by the album. It is shaping up to be extremely varied and a love it

You're in for a treat, by the look of it. She's definitely created something special, here
idro Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 What I really love about her art is that she s always been putting in her fans and the world 's face " DARE TO CHANGE , DON T STAND IN THE SURFACE , GO DEEPER , DON T HOLD ONTO THE PAST , RISK " ...and this album s shaping up to be once again a step ahead in popculture .
the-queen Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 The Madonna app has been updated from RH to Madame X!
blackmamba109 Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 I am dyyyyyying to hear more!!!!!!! June 14 can't come soon enough ugh!!!!! Has there been any write ups or descriptions on the rest of the songs??
Flip The Switch Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 For the first time, I feel the ‘featuring’ artists are really part of the songs and this album. They’re just no ‘guests’. This is part of the diversity of this album and the idea of Madame X. No wonder they’re enlisted as M & (artist name). Can’t wait for the full thing now.

Danmacevents Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 It's amazing how easily these songs have slotted into her discography. Especially Medellin and crave, it's like they've always been here. So happy right now.

All of them come as natural has her having background singers on the songs. None sound forced or out of place at this point. Even Soltera sounds like a true collab. Nothing just stuck on randomly just because.

Has there been any write ups or descriptions on the rest of the songs?? Literally nothing except a couple of lyrics for God Control and Batuka quoted in the British Vogue article. I believe some “insider” mentioned God Control being a dance song, but I tend to take these people with a grain of salt. Some people claim the snippet in the album trailer video is Extreme Occident and that might be accurate but I can’t pinpoint why that took hold as fact. Also she quoted some lyrics from that song in her Glaad speech. Some people think there are snippets from two songs featured in the trailer. Basically we know nothing which I find to be a wonderful thing indeed!

And then the lyrics from that clip and the ones she quoted in her GLAAD speech seem to fit together.
JohnnyUtah Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) The insider who talked about God Control being a "disco fever" and I Don't Search I Find being another disco influenced song, was the same guy who first talked about the horns in Future, and he was right about that. So I want to believe him. Also, I've heard there's a couple 90s-like dance songs in the album (I guess, they are the same two songs mentioned by that insider). The rest of the album may be more mid-tempo with some ballads, like the songs we all know by now. Edited May 17, 2019 by JohnnyUtah
Mozo1 Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 So, with Future being the third clunker in a row for me I am worried about the album. I guess I am predisposed to like the Mirwais stuff which means I may get an EP of music I like out of Madame X. I'm actually very, very sad right now. Sorry to be a Debbie Downer here, but I just am.
Shaun Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 I can’t stop listening to these four songs. Holy shit, she’s giving it to us.

Awww I am sorry to hear this. I can’t imagine not liking Madonna’s songs, especially three in a row, but I would probably be sad if that happened. Maybe you will end up loving the rest of the album when it comes out on June 14! Plus you have Dark Ballet to look forward to on June 7th!

When the whole album comes out it will be on loop. I’ll probably freak out at the idea I can’t listen to everything all at once. That’s how hungry I am for this era.

I know what you mean but I'm playing them in the background and actually they work together. I'm surprised four mid tempo songs have been released in succession and I'm still hoping there will be some instant classics on the album. However, I remember being the same with bedtime stories - no uptempo pop songs but that's become one of my favourite albums, way above Ray of light. They do start to grow on you. Have a drink or three and put them on in the background!

I hate feeling this way, and I am surprised by it as Medellin floored me with its awesomeness, but I am excited to hear Madame X in its entirety. Mirwais will Rescue Me—I believe in the power of (his) love!
