The Official M new Music SPECULATION thread 👑

Madame X will only ever be looked at a period of musical creativity. It is the Madonna album with the least personality. It’s an art piece and a social commentary. Thats why it didn’t connect. There’s very little Madonna in it. A couple of lines in Medellin and that’s it. Madonna albums usually get praised in retrospect when they use the lens of analysing Madonna’s life at the time. I can’t think of a single song on Madame X that tells me about Madonna and where she is, who she is or how she is in her life. Maybe the survivors guilt somewhere on Funana but that’s pushing it at best. It’s probably the first album when she shone the lens away from herself. Which in itself is quite interesting but as a fan of the woman herself it leaves the listener feeling quite hollow even though there’s much heart in the album. 
I don’t know. It’s a brilliant record in many ways but it just doesn’t move me in the way much of the stuff on Rebel Heart and even MDNA does because it’s faceless. Thats its real Achilles heel. 
so I’m not sure what a ten year appraisal would have to say.

sad to think that if this album was made by someone else.......say Taylor swift........ (and i like her)....... the album would sold millions and everyone would talking about the masterpiece this album is.......

we live in a world where people follow people and everyone is very superficial........

I do agree with this. I love Taylor Swift too! But it's true, people dismiss certain artists nowadays who are very important and talented, but worship the every release of certain selected phenomenons like Taylor or Ariana.

I think if Madonna used less harsh vocal processing / autotune on this album, it may have been received somewhat better. I'm not meaning radically better received, but I think it would have helped somewhat. Some songs would have been superior with warm, genuine vocals, like on Batuka and I Don't Search I Find, for instance.

Madame X is an amazing album but a hard pill to swallow for most people it’s great in its social commentary but lacks more songs in the vein of Crave to make it less dense and dark.

if this was made by Taylor or Ariana it would’ve sunk harder

But that's the point, Taylor or Ariana would have never ever made album like Madame X. They are barely trying anything adventurous and controversial in their music (I don't mean it as hate at all). 

I would say not even Mariah, Kylie, Janet or any other big popstar from 'old' era would dare to release something like Madame X now. And that's why we love Madonna, she is not scared in her 60s to not follow the trends and is always doing her own thing.

Thank you! I played a little with AI tools and tried to create a new album cover for Madonna. It took some time until this 'intelligence' proposed something usable

I love Madame X, it is even in my TOP5 albums, but she should do something more lighter this time to get general publick back on her side.

Recently I was thinking that Purple Disco Machine with Stuart Price would be an amazing producer duo for her next album. Album with nostalgia feedback back to her 80s.

after the hospital what she will write?

a ballad album or a disco one? or half and half?

she go through a lot of shit last year......

It depends.. Maybe tour helped her forget about hospital experience and she doesn't want to go back to that topic. We will see.. I am going to take anything she creates but I would just wish her to have a one last huge world hit, and I assume it might happen only when she tries to go down nostalgia route.. therefore some 80s throwback in her new music might do just that

for sure an album 80s style would be amazing for her numbers........

but h nestly i don't care nothing if one of her song arrive at the 1st position or not...., im happy for her but now the most importan things are streaming numbers...... have songs who last very very long in the streaming platforms...... a song who don't stop to have big or even good streaming numbers for months and months straight.......

if i start to talk about streaming numbers i can talk for hours..... ha ha ha!!!! sorry....... but i would love Madonna to have a team like the weeknd...... when its about streaming.....,

I think most of us do, even though it's unlikely to happen. But we got pretty close with POPULAR!  In fact, it is a world viral hit, it's just not on the same level as her previous huge hits.

Definitely correct but I personally can't consider Popular a Madonna song, I know she is featured and so on, but I simply cannot see it as her song/her hit.

Well, I can understand that, being she simply added her vocals to it.  Still, she is on the track, she's credited for the success just as much as the Weeknd.  But you and I know, it only became the hit, because of The Weeknd.  If this was a Madonna solo track it wouldn't have gotten the same exposure and achieved the same success!

i hope to see madonna collaborate more with other artists too....... the song with dua lipa was amazing!!!!

[ChromaticanMondasia 498]

You're all wonderful happy to meet you all

Agreed I mean if Madonna stayed with the disco house pop route fully it'll sell better but she DID incorporate elements in her albums she's just button pushing 

Gutting that Madame X wasn't a blockbuster like deserved 

But hey yeah agreed Shame that she hasn't done big duet with Dua or something in between eras
