Iconic Fetus Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Lately I just can’t stop listening to MedellĂn, it has a lovely/fresh vibe/melody, the video is cool, and it reminds me of my trip to Italy and dancing. Medellin is her best first single since Hung Up and one classic, ugh her mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip The Switch Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Looking for Mercy is very forgettable and goes nowhere. This and Faz Gostoso are the lower points of Madame X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dcbyebyebaby Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Looking For Mercys chorus is beyond tragic. So repetitive. I rarely listen to it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madgefan Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I loved Looking For Mercy when I first listened to the album but now whenever it shows up on Spotify I can't even play it. This doesn't happen to me with other album tracks such as God Control or Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dcbyebyebaby Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I think for me the biggest reason why I listen to it less is because she doesnt perform it on the tour. The same thing happened with me and Inside Out and Best Night on RH. Lost interest after she ignored them on tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for LFM, I find the chorus too repetitious. I don't like the clip clip sound on come alive either but I'm hoping I'll love it after the live show as many people have said it's a highlight.

peter Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 ^^ Inside Out is still one of my very favorite RH tracks, and among my all-time favorites in her entire oeuvre. Have not tired of any Madame X tracks, tbqh? Aren’t really any low points for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did omit some biggies tho, so don't shoot me, but i think it's tighter and packs more of a punch.... 1. Come Alive (would've loved a slightly extended intro for the first song, but this is still great as is) 2. Crave 3. Future 4. Batuka 5. Killers Who Are Partying 6. Crazy 7. MedellĂn 8. Extreme Occident 9. Faz Gostoso 10. Bitch, I'm Loca 11. I Don't Search I Find 12. God Control Bonus Track: 13. Ciao Bella You should check it out... i think it's pretty dope. In this alternate reality, I think I Rise could've been a Pride50 exclusive digital/vinyl release, and Dark Ballet a post-album/tour single and video. Looking for Mercy is filler imo, so that can just be gone. I tried this sequence and it really works. I do cherish all the tracks on Madame X though.

Simple-minded listeners (fans and GP alike) may have a hard time wrapping their head around songs like "Dark Ballet", "God Control", "Killers Who Are Partying" and even the house jam "I Don't Search I Find" but that's their problem (to quote her British Vogue interview). The boundary-pushing force must continue to work - that's what we need, at this point where the mainstream stuff out there can hardly be called "music". The situation has gone THAT BAD. The task to bring the light is on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, it completely beyond me that some supposed fans do not consider Madame X as a important album in her discography and especially as being the way to follow for the end of her career. This album represents her at her most uncompromising and fearless. Two major qualities of her personality and her career. Madonna must take advantage of the fact that the commercial portion of her musical career is over to follow her muse and produce daring material that will benefit her legacy. Mainstream pop is in its most dismal state EVER. However, there is excellent pop in the margins but it never comes to the fore. Even today, Non-entity Gomez is everywhere with her new album of boring faceless pop while Georgia offers at the same time a much better album which will not be know outside of a small group of insider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I want long songs on M15. Perhaps too much to ask for but you know, at least two epic songs of around 7 to 10 minutes. Think of the long-ass version of "Love Hangover" (Diana Ross), "It Seems to Hang On" (Ashford & Simpson), "Love to Love You Baby" (Donna Summer), "Station to Station" (David Bowie)...one can hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made my own edit where most of it is the demo version and only replaced the instrumental parts after each chorus with the album version. It turned out amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I love the ending of the song and the video is brilliant... Almost teary eyes at the end of the video + the message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
