I think it’s Funny how some people Define an artist’s success only if younger people listen to said artist. Who the fuck cares what the kids are into?! Madonna is beyond charts, beyond success or failure. Beyond Hits. I dont need “the kids” or “the general public” (another word I despise) to like her. When Lady Gaga or Ariana or Beyonce reach 60 theyll understand. In the meantime, im just happy Madonna is still making music.

It could be possible that this marks a comeback to Madonna? I mean, a come back to work with Stuart Price again, Levitating was produced by him.

Madonna can't please everybody. I remember fans not liking Vogue when it was released after the more organic Like a Prayer singles (some even hated the Pettibone remix of EY). I remember people trashing COADF after American Life (this one being trashed by others) and Music, some really hated that single. Does it mean it's good or bad ? It's just opinions and people are too involved. I for one hated You'll See and that boring Evita period. I didn't think True Blue was a solid album. Do i thi

As the specialized critics said, so do I: Madame X has been her best work since Confessions, and hopefully she continues to produce experimental albums like Madame X was, since she's not having much success lately, then she can take the liberty of doing whatever she wants and experimenting with her music, because if David Bowie could do it, then Madonna too??
 

PREACH IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS! WE STAN EXPERIMENTAL MADONNA! :Madonna013:

Not people on here saying that this monotonous and generic club remix is better than anything on Madame X, one of her most creative and meaningful albums ever...

the lack of flavor.. the lack of taste...

In your opinion. Many others fans, included myself, don't enjoy Madame X and I really don't understand how people could say it's one of her best and creative albuns with so many bad songs like Faz Gostoso, Bitch I'm loca, Funana, Ciao Bella and a remix of Back That Up To The Beat and other boring songs like Batuka and Dark Ballet.

So it’s been on repeat. I’ve been sipping on a classy box of Jackson-Triggs Chardonnay, and yeah, I’m into it. Look the beat and club drum kick is definitely feeling a little lacklustre. But my god M is just absolute fire in it.
 

Of course I long for those heavy dance beats. Those dance synths (Kylie save the day for Dua please) Wondering why in gods name those claps are there... everywhere. It’s a choice.

But I’m digging it. Madonna is back and she didn’t even have to do much outside of her own bathroom. 
The beat is dark. TBM took this to a dark beat and that is her art. I respect that. We can’t knock her for that.
Quick. Somebody remix that remix :hallwaylaugh:

If you have to list three bonus songs to make your point.... well... maybe you just don't get the album.

These 3 tracks are barely on the album lol, they're just treats for super fans. Also Ciao Bella is amazing, and I believe A LOT of fans love Funana. The true album ends at I Rise. How is Dark Ballet and Batuka boring... Dark Ballet is legit her most interesting song in I dont even know how long. It has: a typical verse portion, an instrumental break, an electronic monologue, a spoken section, then a breath of fire at the end.... in what world does that qualify as "boring" :hearno:. Batuka I can see how you think it's boring but I think it is so cool and interesting and the batukadeiras really add something authentic and magical to the album. Even so if you didn't like those 4 tracks.... there are 11 others for you to feast on!

The remix is amazing. Love the darker tone the Blessed Madonna gave to the original. Madonna sounded like she tapped to her COADF 2005 vocals and Missy Elliot is just riding the beat with her flow. I literally stayed up late at night to listen to the song over and over again.

Does it mean it's good or bad ? It's just opinions and people are too involved. I for one hated You'll See and that boring Evita period. I didn't think True Blue was a solid album. Do i think i'm right ? It's just my taste and its not better than the next person's.

The question is, it's ok to not like something but why forcing your opinions on others ? You need the validation because you can't stand your ground on your own ? Why looking for validation in critics or social medias ? Do you like or dislike something based on your gut feelings or do you need the permission and approval of others to feel secure about your own taste ?

Instead of questionning Madonna, which will avail to nothing (she does what she wants) maybe you should either question yourself or just come back when you'll actually enjoy her again...or take a break from her. Madonna evolves and so does our taste it can't always match. I quite like You'll See now. I loved MDNA when it was released, i can't even bare to look at that album now.

Madonna tried so many styles and genres musically and got new fans with each that it's impossible for her now to satisfy everybody. She's not the only one. Yesterday Sufjan Stevens released a synth pop track that got his fans mad, the ones who are still expecting a Chicago #2.

That's the problem with internet and forums, at the end of the day it's the same for every pop stars, disappointed fans are always louder than the ones who enjoy things.Internet is just a place to rant now. I wonder if people are still able to enjoy something anymore. Too scared to say they love something when someone who doesn't keeps telling it's trash and tries to get into people's heads to convince them it is. Times are really hard, focus on what brings you joy and pleasure and share your enthusiasm, there are really shitty things going on in the world right now, a remix is trivial compared to that. Let people get their lives from the things they enjoy and find your own without raining on people's parade. Cynism and negativity are the most shared things on internet when all we need right now is to find a way out, an escape. For some it's a remix, for others it's to rant about the meanest things and belittle people.

I like this remix and im happy some people find joy in it in this shitty time. Find your own joy and happiness (hopefully not in putting others down because you're down even though misery loves company).
