Shut Your Mouth Posted June 23 Posted June 23 Madonna talks about The Test, a track from Confessions II: The song I wrote with my daughter, Lola. She approached me proposing that we write a song together as a way to heal our relationship. It was a very important moment and reinforced the idea that this was the right time to make this record.

Skin Posted June 24 Posted June 24 Sad hearing their relationship was strained. Not to go off topic, but I wonder if the twins are the only ones living with her now as well? She rarely posts anything about her kids lately which is understandable since they are all getting older. Quote

Candyperfumeboy Posted June 24 Posted June 24 Ooooh this one sounds so good!! Very different than any of the others. Quote
Beastialg Posted June 25 Posted June 25 It's OK from that short clip, but so far the least impressive track that we had a glimpse before album release. Quote

Geiger83 Posted June 25 Posted June 25 This is the only one so far I have no opinion about. The vocals sound nice but there is so little of the production to hear on this clip that I can't say anything. I prefer to wait until the release Quote
strictmachine Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Can we tell from the clip if it’s more of a duet with Lola or if she’s more background vocals? Sorry I haven’t been listening to any clips so curious to know the level of her presence in the song but don’t want to listen lol. Quote
jonski43 Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Interesting. Sounds like there is some variety and it's not just so dancefloor four to the floor beats. Quite a ray of light vibe again. Quote

Sorry I haven’t been listening to any clips so curious to know the level of her presence in the song but don’t want to listen lol. definitely a duet. she's singing the first part of that verse. i like the sound of it but hope there's a big hook or beat switch-up. the beat kind of reminds me of "little star" so a nice little call-back.

I totally agree; there are echoes of LS. I wonder if that was a deliberate choice. Quote
yououghttavogue Posted June 29 Posted June 29 I absolutely love what I’m hearing. All the songs so far have had a pounding beat, this one is soft and plush. Reminds me a little of What it Feels like for a Girl. That second melody that comes in at the end sounds gorgeous too. Quote
kingvirtue Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Well, at least we did get something today. A preview of the test lol Quote
Dilly.Dally Posted June 29 Posted June 29 I love the vibe. It’s very Lola coded in the production. Very “airy” ambient, as opposed to ROL being more “aqua”. I like it! Definitely a mood switch up from the rest of rangers we’ve got so far. Quote

*mlvc* Posted June 29 Posted June 29 1 hour ago, Jairo said: They uploaded a preview on her YouTube Channel This is not necessarily a bad thing, but if I wanted to listen to Lola I would listen to Lola's music and honestly while I have given her music a few spins it's not my cup of tea. Quote
Gabriel Ciccone Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Can someone understand what they're singing? The lyrics Quote

peter Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Oh, I think it sounds lovely … looking forward to the whole thing. I understood most of the lyrics on first listen, but would have to re-listen and transcribe… Quote

DreamTheater Posted June 29 Posted June 29 I like what I'm hearing. And I love that there will be a lot of diversity in the album. Quote
