Crave is a great song, like a few people have said, I'm also not into remixes of songs.  

Personally Crave touches my soul when I think about relationships in my private life.  That intro at the beginning, I relate too 100%. It touches my soul making me think about what guy do I want in my life, as I always get involved with the wrong ones.  Anyway I also love the video and the bit at the end where the hands nearly touch, sharing that energy....wow..  

Oh, well. Don't we all want things that we cannot have?

According to Drowned Madonna, the Crave remixes will be released the first week of September. I assume this is September 6, basically in two weeks.

Wow. Why did they wait so damn long to release them?

[luluthecat]

What exactly is the strategy with these release dates?? I don’t get it. If didn’t follow this forum I wouldn’t have clue she’s even putting anything out

It is obvious they didn't want two songs competing in the Dance charts. They released I Rise so they waited for it to reach #1 first then announce this release of Crave.

maybe perfect sense but i wonder if radio edits might have gotten some dance radio play if they were released earlier. i suppose it could still happen but the song has peaked on AC already.

Clearly, their focus is on the Dance charts now, hence the proper and timely sequence of releases not overlapping each other.

I was not impressed with this song when I first heard it and skipped it when the album came out but it's growing on me lately. It definitely has the best single potential of the album and would have done better if actually given a chance on radio.

Any word on what the remixes are going to be?

Sept 6th!

[strictmachine]

But do we know what they are?

[Guest juliebean]

Tracy young's remixes i believe.

[strictmachine]

So basically multiple variations of the same one remix?! God I hope there’s more than just Tracy young at this late stage

But it’s one of the best songs on the album

I didn't think so at first. I appreciated it more after repeated listening.

[Guest animalinstinct]

Tracy Young is shit. There, I said it.

The song describes my feelings about Madonna too.

I've never liked her mixes and that sucks because she seems like a nice person who genuinely loves remixing Madonna songs. But yeah, her mixes are so bland and generic.

[Flip The Switch]

She’s a terrible remixer. Stuck in 90’s generic mixing. 

[cocolattee]

not all of her remixes are bad though...

her GHV2 megamix was BY FAR the best one

The best of the GHV2 mixes or best of Tracys mixes?  Because the Thunderpuss mixes blew hers out of the water.

[luluthecat]

So are these mixes coming on Friday?

[Guest animalinstinct]

Tracy aside, I’m hopeful we will have some killer ones ahead. With the Apple Music : ReMix Crave competition...

I don’t think that was a competition. It was an Apple Labs event, which means anyone could sign up for the “class” — it was an advanced learning event where they showed you how to use the Apple software program to remix music. “Crave” just happened to be the song you got to play with.

I mean, I’m no remixer, and *I* “remixed” Crave at one of these events. (Heavy air quotes on the remixed.) I am basic AF. My remix was a complete travesty, because I didn’t know what the eff I was doing. I was there to listen to the stems of Crave — it was worth it to listen to Madonna’s isolated a cappella vocals. 

I wrote a post about it a while back. We were only allowed to work with the track during the class (about an hour, I think), and (unlike other Apple Labs where you get to keep something at the end), the instructor apologized that, because Madonna is Madonna, we would not be able to take her music with us. So you couldn’t work on it later or longer. I was one of only two people who came to the event. The other guy was more interested in the software, but he was not disrespectful to M or anything.

So ... unless I missed some announcement, I don’t see any remix contest resulting in some mind-blowing remix.

Oh that sucks, thanks for info. Wish I went to one of these events too
