Fabiolous 5,488 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 It's just a thought I have had recently. What if Madonna had interlude songs in her albums the way other artists do (e g. Christina Aguilera, Beyoncé). It would be interesting to see what they would add to her albums, especially with themed releases like Erotica, Madame X, Like a prayer and Ray of light. I think the closest thing we got to this was Act of contrition as an album outro. Interlude are usually about a minute long, or less. I would have loved something like this for Madame X: - Intro from the Medellín video and typewriter sounds from the tour version of Medellín 1) Medellín - Joan of Arc interlude 2) Dark Ballet 3) God control 4) Future (Madonna solo) - Madame X manifesto 5) Batuka 6) Killers who are partying - intro from Crave video 7) Crave 8) Crazy 9) Come alive - I'm not here to be popular, I'm here to be free interlude 10) Extreme occident - spy-themed interlude 11) I don't search I find - We call B.S. Speech intro 12) I rise (Madame X Tour version outro) - Madame X's final message. This document will self destruct in 3,2,1.... In my dream, Bitch I'm loca, Faz Gostoso and Looking for mercy would be kept for a Platinum edition (Beyoncé style) coming for the one-year anniversary with Faz Gostoso as lead single. LOL It would have been really interesting to see this in my opinion and it would have really added to the album. This treatment for Erotica would have been great!

deathproof 10,555 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 They should have done this with Rebel Heart. I love how they incorporated bits of her Secret Project speech in the Rebel Heart tour with Iconic, Living, and Illuminati. It could have been cool to have Iconic and Bitch sequenced like it is on the tour for the album. Fabiolous and Voguerista 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoful 8,549 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Yes! I would’ve loved this. I kinda made a separate album with these interludes added and some remixes. I love her Madame X manifesto and speeches in the vids. She should’ve put them in the album Voguerista and Angelo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert 501 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 it would work if it was a major concept album. for example, Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation album is perfect with the interludes. though her follow up albums weren't very effective except maybe Velvet Rope. just a note; im not suggesting that Madonna copy Janet. just pointing out how interludes can be effective in an album. im sure there are other ways to make it really effective than the way i described. i feel that Erotica probably could be the only album to pull off interludes.

Yeah, I think the "Janet" album had a few as well even if for only a few seconds. But some of Janet's albums suffer because of interludes IMO. She was putting them after every single song almost and it just made the album drag. reinvented_0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the idea, I also really appreciate those albums that have a good instrumental overture as the first track, you know.. to set the mood for the whole album...

Rythmn Nation 1814 was not only perfect for interlude, but the album was ahead of it's time of her music at the time of released and this album was still a fresh album today, 30 years after his released. The Knowlegde was the most urbain song of the album, the song was dark, raw and a touch of hip-hop of this song remain of her song Nasty of the sound. but it's a continuity of the sound uses in the song Nasty, this song was more urbain than Nasty and this song was no a Nasty n.2. Someday Is Tonight also created a new style of RnB ballad and it's more raw, it's never explored before this song, Also, the darkness side of her lyrics add a dimension of the songs of the album and a novation of the history of music.

Roland Barthes 5,820 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Please no. One of the best thing about MP3 files compared to CD's is that i could get rid of all those terrible interludes on Janet's albums (and her ballads too but that's another topic).

lucasciccone 4,216 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I don't see any of her old albums with interludes, but I totally see Rebel Heart and Madame X with interludes. In Rebel Heart I would divide the "Rebel" and the "Heart" with an interlude (1-2 minutes), maybe there could be one or two more shorter (like 30 sec or something like that, nothing too long) between songs with personal lyrics. I imagine some interludes in Madame X with the different personas talking maybe... Of course an intro with the "Welcome to the world of Madame X" and an outro with similar vibes with a final message.
