As much as I would like this, she explained in the Australian interview that Madame X lost an eyeball after being kidnapped and hidden in the Amazon Forest but managed to escape and became a cha cha instructor in Colombia.
Disintegration Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 I still have to bow down to this song. How she come up with a sound/style that's unique to her this far into her career and deliver it so wonderfully?
JayMac Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Great track but I don’t know what to think about the chorus sung by the tiffin children’s choir at the beginning and end with such a strange pause between “Con” and “trol” (control) lyric It’s hard to sing along to. Unless I’m totally missing something here. This part drives me nuts for some reason.

No. Future and Dark Ballet are just promo tracks. GC is the third single. I hope they plan to release God Control mv next week.

It's been saved for a promotional purpose and she'll begin teasing it/set a release date the same she did with Crave. You'll ask questions like this and go on other forums spewing the same thing despite many people answering your questions many times. The video has been completed for a while now.

Rugbyguy Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 I demand tight choreo over the final refrains of ‘We’ve lost god control’ with those beats on tour
Bat-Fan Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 I to hear the song on radio, that 4 minute edit we heard worked well for radio.

karbatal Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 It would be great if radio stations picked the song here in Europe.

Lindyloo Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 It’s taken me a while to really get used to this song. At the beginning I wasn’t sure..did I like it or not? I listened some more, and more and now I think it’s an incredible moment on the album. The choir sound fantastic, please let her bring a choir on her tour. It knocks this song into the stratosphere. The beat, the lyrics, the whole thing is massive! The only thing I don’t like is the way she starts singing it like her teeth are cemented together. Obviously that’s how she wanted it to sound but to me it’s a bit odd. Great piece of music though.
Jeby Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 What exactly are we waiting for? When this ADD music buying audience have moved on or? Everybody is waiting. Sometimes I think her team are clueless. Other times I think it is deliberate sabotage. Lol.

Now that it is, her team think that's no longer a good strategy? Just while the iron is hot? When they see songs unreleased getting more traction than what they put out? Is it that they can not think on their feet and must follow a set plan or?

I think releasing it this week will keep it in peoples minds especially with a song like God Control which by all accounts is one of the better songs on the album. Add a controversial video that will be talked about, it keeps the album in and on minds and possibly prevents a steep drop in its second week. I did not think it needed explaining.

Completely over it now though and it’s my favourite, but yeah phrasing is important. Normally Madonna always gets that right.

HolidayGuy Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 A steep drop is coming, no matter what happens- recall the multipe U.S. Ellen shows came in week 2 of RH, and the drop was still 80%. Nonetheless, can't wait for the video.

Nonetheless, can't wait for the video. I’m not sure if a drop that steep is coming, last time it was: #2 (121k) - #21 (26k) down 78% and first week was bolstered by the tour bundle, this time not so much, yes it will drop hard but maybe to 75% that could be 24k, and #10 sold 12k last week so maybe another week in Top 20. RH managed 11 weeks on chart, let’s see if MX can at least hold 5.
HolidayGuy Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 The 80% drop for RH was the pure-sales drop. RH's first week only included redemptions from a few dates (as not all dates were on sale up through the album release), and it was digital-only (Billboard estimated just 10,000 or so came from the promotion). So, I would expect at least an 80% drop for the new album; look at Jonas' album, dropping some 95% or so in sales. The overall drop was 87%, thanks to decent streaming numbers. In any event, this is a GC thread. We'll see when M will bestow the clip to the world.
