I know it's not to everyone's taste but at this stage in her career am happy that she's just doing whatever the hell she wants . 1 minute ago, Steve said: Yes Idolater review as posted above best line.... To be honest I was very prepared to be disappointed in Dark Ballet but she got me by my Nutcracker !
Guest Hanox Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 She is truly an artist and a genius. I can’t wait to see her in October in NYC

alquemist Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 Does she know that some people already have the album?

Nick Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 I'm confused was the official full audio of Dark Ballet released before the video premiered? My friend told me yes, but I told him I didn't think so.

SOON Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 http://www.papermag.com/bops-only-muna-2638730598.amp.html Bops Only: 10 Songs You Need to Start Your Weekend Right Michael Love Michael 07 June Madonna unleashes her latest taste of Madame X today, in "Dark Ballet," which has a dramatic Joan of Arc-themed video starring none other than Mykki Blanco. The song is indeed a somber meditation on the state of the world, and an indictment of perpetrators of gender-based, racial, and sexual violence. Over mild vocoder, a hard, slow beat, and a flurry of piano notes, it sounds like one. The song mutates halfway through to a severely distorted section where that piano races like a wild heartbeat and Madonna muses about "god" and people who are burned at the stake. There is also a clever, but no less impactful spoken-word moment during which the superstar tells those in Supreme hoodies (get it... white supremacy, in other words, she's saying) that the "howl of the wind" aka radical, necessary change, is near. Let's hope a new paradigm truly is among us.
James0479 Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 May someone please help me with a question? The woman watching the man burn....looks like a Madonna sister. Is it one of her sisters or Madonna herself?

Interesting- I thought the supreme hoodie was just an ironic reference to the very sought after brand and the superficiality of that and materialism keeping us blind and deaf- but the reference of white supremacy / supremacy / trump / right wing govs adds another layer.

I interpreted it the same as you at first.....Supreme, not supreme.....but the white supremacy interpretation definitely makes sense. We know how M loves her double entendres too!

I think it’s supreme hoodies to indicate KKK the obvious but all types including clergy, various religious leaders, politicians etc. Unfortunately religion has brought great division and destruction to the world in the name of a GOD for centuries.

Gaudet Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Maybe someone else brought it up already, I was just wondering: has anyone else thought of Wendy Carlos during the piano arpeggio leading to the vocoder part of the song? Upon first listen it did resemble something familiar to me but I could not connect it straight away. Then over the weekend I re-watched a few Kubrick's movies and BOOM thought of Wendy Carlos. Just a thought.
