If that's One Step Away, and if OSA is in fact the freedom song we heard last week, it sounded like a stomper, but I'm not sure about the HU comparisons... The only comparison that makes some sense to me, if the live recordings are to be trusted, is Love Sensation x Get Together.

The only comparison that makes some sense to me, if the live recordings are to be trusted, is Love Sensation x Get Together. I’ve often thought IS one step away the HU true heir/stomper solo lead that we heard so much about….. It sounded fantastic but I wouldn’t say it’s the new Vogue and all that stuff we were fed for a while. OR We simply haven’t heard the 2nd single (most likely a solo number)yet and Madonna is withholding it from us. 2 minutes ago, bard said: Ignore anyone who compares any new song to an old madonna song. it's always an exaggeration. people will say BYL is the next "vogue" simply because it has a house beat. I’m not sure anyone would say that in reality though? Its far from the incredible dizzy heights of Vogue, and if any insider REALLY heard BYL and reported it to us as the new Vogue then they seriously need to get out more! 4 minutes ago, bard said: the clips look pretty basic to me so i hope it's not from the video. What else could those clips be of M & S together though?

What else could those clips be of M & S together though? by the way some people having been talking about it, you'd think they thought it was up there with "vogue." and insider have always exaggerated. it's been this way for years. the clips definitely look like they're from something but it just looked like the two of them on a set and another in a club scene. i hope there's a lot more the video than that!

I also don't remember it has ever been confirmed by anyone official. it was reported months ago that sabrina was on set to shoot something, and it was strongly believed to be a music video with m's team. a lead single with no video would be utterly absurd. as we've been discussing, sabrina appears to be in the visualizer so obviously something was shot with the two of them.
Raider of the lost Ark Posted May 5 Posted May 5 12 minutes ago, Confessit II said: There are glimpses of it in the visualiser so I think there’s definitely a music video. Well, there is not much to see actually. To me it looks like there was some sort of photoshoot at the time they were in the studio and they used it in the visualizer. And the dancing of people could be very well stock footage.

It was never confirmed officially that is true. But I doubt Warners would push the song so hard on playlists & radio without a video to complete the cycle. + BYL is the albums big collaboration, we have already had half a performance of it at Coachella & there’s even promotion of it in an advert with Anna Wintour. Everything points towards BYL being the lead single and very lead single she has ever released has a video. 7 minutes ago, bard said: the clips definitely look like they're from something but it just looked like the two of them on a set and another in a club scene. i hope there's a lot more the video than that! I agree. I think it’s watered down small clips to not give the game away. This is why I think the video will be next week mainly because of the visualiser. Usually visualisers are released a week ahead of music videos, and I believe if Warners were ready to drop the music video this week, they wouldn’t have bothered with a visualiser. BUT I also understand the theory that most believe that warners are drip feeding the song to build it up over a longer period.

Madonna can be seen (wearing the same outfit as she is wearing with Sabrina) dancing in the crowd; it is not stock footage.

But in the clips we saw in the YouTube visualizer, M is dancing in a crowd. Which matches The Sun's description of the rave scene.

I used this "true heir" merely as a placeholder because someone used it before and HU was the first single from COADF. I did not imply any sonical similarities.
Geiger83 Posted May 5 Posted May 5 Maybe BYL isn't the first single at all? Have we really had an official confirmation? I don't remember tbh I am starting to think maybe it isn't, since it doesn't make sense to hold the video. Or if it is the official 1st single and the video will be released by the end of the week? If yes it won't help much the chance of the song charting (which IS important for promoting the album, no matter what hardcore fans say). I don't know what to think anymore. At one hand the promotion has been great until now, it isn't believable that there isn't a strong strategy for the first single

I didn’t receive it personally, but some members in here did I remember it being discussed…….

Bill Posted May 5 Posted May 5 Welcome to the first Madonna era where we have 2 songs from the album and don't know if we have the first single yet. But yeah, pretty sure it was confirmed that BYL is the first single.

I think it’s the lead single as well Theres no way Warners would do all the leg work thus far if it wasn’t. We are in uncharted territory, as we are used to the lead single & video coming out close together (ignoring the RH leaks) and this time, it looks like there’s a longer drip feeding so I understand some fans being doubtful. Theres not been very detail heavy announcements so far, it appears they are going for the organic effect rather than everything at once.
Raider of the lost Ark Posted May 5 Posted May 5 26 minutes ago, Shaun said: Can we stop with the “true heir” to Hung Up bullshit? What “insiders” say is not on Madonna. Unless she promises Hung Up’s “heir,” this fan base needs to stop peddling a bunch of unsubstantiated gossip that leads to inevitable disappointment and bitching. I have clearly stated "my two cents" which implies I have no knowledge about the situation. I provided a plausible scenario why there has been no physicals and no video for BYL. At no point did I claim what I wrote was true or not. It is clearly speculation. And the "true heir" was used as a placeholder for the next songs name, because the term was used before.
Ciccone's Cheeks Posted May 5 Posted May 5 Geezus this has barely been out FIVE days...feels like 5 months! lol. Between M weird/wobbly 'vocal mixing-gate', no video etc...Wtaf is happening lol. This all still part of the genius yet sinister 'plan' (which ends up a troll) and we get yet another completely new SOLO instant universal banger, perfectly (or close it) mixed & produced song AND video gazillion variants and physicals then they all say that was THE 1st single the whole time??! lmao If so, FINE. Just do IT already!! lool

Artists are here to disturb the peace. And she did it
Raider of the lost Ark Posted May 5 Posted May 5 Maybe this is the non-traditional promo they have always been talking about? Non-traditional referring to the release schedule.
Geiger83 Posted May 5 Posted May 5 My final thought on this: if there is no video by the end of the week, BYL isn't the first single
