Humberto77rj Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Wow....Ciao Bella and Funana are VERY 90's Madonna. Actually, 90's dance music. Reminds me Des'ree and Everything but the girl, Enigma, Neneh Cherry. But Back that up...just no. It doesn't fit.

Rise Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 I think she chose the best 15 tracks for the album. The deluxe tracks are nice, but not required for the full experience.

MamboDoesItBetter Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 On 6/11/2019 at 10:23 PM, Humberto77rj said: Like I said before, this album might seem a COADF to some, but the impact is going to be the same as ROL or Music, because it's that unique "Madonna ahead of the time" sound. And not just ahead, but an elegant mix of great latin/portuguese/brazilian music + her pop touch. And inteligence. It's an inteligent album, a mature album that'll make pop starlets scream and moan for not being bold enough (nor creative enough) to do the same. You hit the nail on the head. None of those POP TARTS can’t even muster up a raw album like M has done countless of times. M is special cause she is an artist first and foremost and not some product of a label. I gave in and heard half the record and “KILLERS” “BATUKA” and “GOD CONTROL” have me such in awe. Not since COADF have we’ve been blessed with such rawness.
domyeyebrows Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 My friend got a copy sent to him to review officially so I sat in on the session - didn't bow to the leaks but heard it early. I won't go on and on but I will say my face hurt from smiling by the end. Apart from 2 songs I loved it, and I mean loved it. Sonically it is so interesting and accomplished and nothing at all feels half-hearted or phoned in. My immediate response was 'this is better than Confessions' because whilst Confessions is a fucking brilliant album it was also played very safe albeit to her strengths. This doesn't play anything safe. And that's the M I adore the most. I just wish everyone listening to it for the first time could film their faces when God Control kicks in.
MattyMads Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Yay my French copy was delivered today in the UK I can get to listen to the album officially, glad I didn’t give in to leaks online

robster Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 I'm soooo excited for the reactions from fans and general listeners!

I had the biggest smile on my face when I first listened to that. In fact, I actually cried with joy at the end of it. It's fantastic.

I think we did that for Rebel Heart, so we'll probably do it for MX too after everyone's listened to it.

When Back That Up to the Beat is the highlight out of the three tracks, enough said Very good idea not to include these three on the actual album.

War auch Bei Mediamarkt , dachte vielleicht die Deluxe zu bekommen. Die haben die im Lager , wollten es aber nicht rausrücken , auch als ich mich auf den Boden gelegt habe und geschrieben habe war nix zu machen
