Those slacks!!! She is finally giving my freshman year gRaver look from '99. I wonder what time she was out and about. Imagine walking down a street in the wee hours of the morning and running into a Madonna Instagram shoot.

Quite the contrary. For the longest time, fans have been complaining about her not taking care of her legacy. Being invested in getting that legacy to a new generation is incredibly important, and long past due. I'm glad she's openly acknowledging it now.

Thank god I feel the opposite. MX was a truly inspired return to form for many of us, and you could just feel it. She's always been more than just catchy pop one can't get out of their mind.

She doesn’t say that at all.

as usual, an interview with her means more than thousand words. there are many interesting points, starting from her relationship with Guy O., which seems it got deteriorated in these last 13 years, basically when he negotiated that monster contract that almost killed all the magic in her. I didn't know he is friend with the Live Nation CEO, but maybe this explains why she joined them. Since she hasn't missed any occasion to kindly remind us how bad that choice was, at the point she admitted she never wanted to make neither MDNA nor Rebel Heart, I wonder if she'll flank him with another person who will dedicate himself, body and soul, to her, as Guy did the in first 20 years, following her step by step in everything and acting as a good creative advisor after all, because it was him who phoned Orbit and submitted to her the tape with the 'Production' demos by Mirwaïs. From her words, it's clear she still needs someone who acts like 'the voice of reason' and guides her, confronts with her and gives the proper shape to her ideas: more a wise friend than a simple financial consultant. despite the age gap, Guy O. acted as a parental figure for her, just as Freddy and Liz did. In these 15 years everything fucked up not because of Guy, but beacause of Guy's absence, imo: since when he rightly decided to focus more on his own business and his life, she felt descarded by him and we all know she works well only when she's fully committed, thing she hasn't been lately because she chose her family over her career (nothing to say against it), and the small group of trusted people (always the same ones, funny isn't it?) she works with are fully focused on her, her requests, her ideas. Paradoxally, this way of working is quite démodé and it's obvious she feels like a fish out of water right now, where you can easily make an album even without seeing the producer in person. Speaking for myelf, reading she's intrigued by how TikTok or internet in general let people promote and manipulate music cracks me up: it's true her attempts of coping with technology are a bit cringy and embarrassing sometimes, but I'm very fascinated that a woman in her 60s still wants to try to understand how we, gen Z, handle our relationships with music and visual arts. bracket closed.
About the rest, I'm quite curious to see her next moves and I have the feeling everything will be totally different from what we've seen so far. 

I’ve had an extraordinary life, I must make an extraordinary film. It was also a preemptive strike because a lot of people were trying to make movies about me. Mostly misogynistic men. So I put my foot in the door and said, “No one’s going to tell my story, but me.”

She keeps saying that she wants to go on tour. I think it's actually coming soon. Maybe a short celebratory tour in 2023 for the anniversary?

Just make two movies or a 6 part mini series. No need to stick to old formulas. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'd be happy to see her touring again. Yet I don't know if I would spend so much money like I did for 4 MXT shows. I think she needs a new formula and some preparation. A greatest hits tour is highly possible at this point. But if she gets easily bored by the past, why doesn't she work on a new album?

So she wants to go on tour!

That shitty loop would have never become some sort of staple song of the 2020s. It was just a silly experiment that slowly gained traction on social media for months. 
I don’t know why people here desperately want to see it as a major release or anything. 
She just used it as a tool to increase her streaming profile and it did surprisingly well. 
Further than that I think her fans here obsess over it way more than she ever did. 
It was just a marketing tool for the new streaming age. 

But "Frozen" didn't flop. 75M streams on Spotify only and still strong after 7 months. It helped her almost double her monthly listeners on Spotify. And most importantly: she capitalized and make hers a trend that was using her song. It will be the same with the new "Material Girl" remix if it's released. It arrives late, yeah, but there's always s**t and contracts going on behind the scenes (with "Frozen" it took them some time to figure out who was really behind the remix), plus timing. The Standard edition of "Finally Enough Love" was released on streaming less than two weeks ago. They need to give space between releases.
For the first time in years she pays attention and have a team that pays attention of what's going on and that can only be good. Plus she seems to be interested in all these little one-off projects and remixes, I think it keeps her creatively flowing. 

Fuck yeah 🤘

The interesting part if you don't feel like reading everything xoxo

Great interview. The piece on Guy O is really good too, surely a little boring during the NFT part, but very touching when it comes to M.

Some cheap and basic awards show for us, latin poor people.

Madame X the film is nominated for a VMA for best long form video
does this mean she'll make an appearance at the VMA's / present an award?

She was nominated for the MTV Millennial Awards in 2015 for her fall at the 2015 Brit Awards in the category of #Epic Fail (and she won ) and also she was nominated for the MTV Video Music Awards Japan in 2015 for Bitch I'm Madonna in the category of Best Female Video (but she lost). 

Nvm that was Billboard I was thinking. The time she told will I am (can't stand him) to hold the award for her lol

YESSSSS THE BEST LONGFORM VIDEO EVER. FUTURE DID THAT!!! DROP THE STUDIO VERSION NOW QUEEN!!
All you fucking F#*% better get your asses to the voting booth. MADAME ❌ IS A LONGFORM VIDEO WHORE

M posted this to her IG Stories and has reposted this impersonater on her IG several times now and I love this version of LAP

🤣🤣 IMO the VMA Ray of Light (not the Shanti) performance was brutal. Mom's timing was off in Maluma performance...and as performer's they have good ones and bad - get over it...or "Deal with it" lol

V Magazine #137 Fall Preview 2022 




 
 
 

No. Madonna isn't on the cover.  
The fall 2022 V magazine issue 137 is called Gen V. 
Other than Charli XCX, there's also covers of Evan Mock, the kid Larol, Sky Ferreira, Iris Law, Eartheater, Malika Louback, Rina Sawayama, and Shygirl. 

I love this song.  Hope her next album is this kind of dreamy trap.
