And ended up replacing it with The Funny Song as a major dig at her label. "Wanna hear my new song?" 😬😬😬 That song makes me so mad. She could have sung ANYTHING else instead. An acoustic rendition of The Power Of Good-Bye or another oldie.

They all belong at the bottom but B-Day Song wasn't trying to be anything other than a silly filler. Funana is absolute bottom of the barrel shit.

Regarding MX, the sequencing ruins it completely. Back when I still forced myself to listen to the album, this was the playlist: Killers Who Are Partying Extreme Occident Dark Ballet Future Batuka Back That Up To The Beat* Bitch I'm Loca Faz Gostoso Medellín Funana* Crazy Come Alive Crave I Rise Looking For Mercy Ciao Bella* I Don't Search I Find God Control Funana is honestly the worst song she has ever released.

I truly cannot believe people still think IDSIF is great when it's just her reciting a monologue from Peaky Blinders over an incredibly dated instrumental. In my opinion, her last great song as lead artist was Crazy which is the only good thing that came out of Madame X. Other than that, there is a lot of great stuff on Rebel Heart.

And what does that have to do with I‘m Breathless? I think it’s great. Just not a studio album…

You can also spread the I‘m Breathless propaganda. In the end, Madonna and no one except a fraction of her fans consider it a full fledged studio album.

First of all, it is considered by many to be a soundtrack/companion album. Similar to I'm Breathless: https://www.theringer.com/2022/03/04/movies/prince-batman-soundtrack-oral-history-batdance The reason Wikipedia, and likely Prince himself consider it a studio album is because of the way Prince went about all of his projects. He didn’t give a rat's ass whether it was a soundtrack. To him, it was a studio album, therefore he MILKED it with a full promo cycle, music videos and a lot of single releases. Warner, however, treated it like a soundtrack. They demanded that he signed over the rights to them, which likely contributed to him and his fanbase's classification of it as a studio album. It’s a way to say "FUCK YOU" to Warner. He wasn’t even allowed to include any of the songs on greatest hits albums.

Oh girl…

What exactly is it that’s not clicking? Madonna doesn’t consider it a regular studio album but instead lumps it together with the "soundtracks". The album is called "I'm Breathless - Music FROM and INSPIRED BY the FILM Dick Tracy". This indicates that it is STRONGLY tied to the movie and the character Madonna plays in it. It is a Madonna album….Madonna AS Breathless Mahoney, hence the title of the album. Vogue is more of a bonus track. It was a standalone single, originally a b-side even before it was tacked onto the album. Aside from that, I'm Breathless only had ONE single. It also didn’t receive a full promo cycle like her other studio albums. Madame X was widely seen/reported as "Madonna's 14th studio album", maybe yall should do the math.

The therm has been bastardized a bit. Originally it referred to the exact type of album that I'm Breathless is. Also here: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/madonna-dick-tracy-im-breathless-vogue-1005083/ The album aims to be what an album released by the character Breathless Mahoney would sound like. It's VERY strongly tied to the movie. Not strong enough to be considered a soundtrack but it's also not "original" or "independent" enough to be considered a MADONNA studio album. It's a companion/concept album.

Again, there is a category for albums like I'm Breathless: They are called CONCEPT ALBUMS. 🙃 Lady Gaga's latest album is the same. It was labeled as a concept album too.

Just because they were the ones released, doesn’t mean they were the final versions. The "rumored" final versions of History and Superpop were included in a preliminary mix of the non-stop version of the album. Unconfirmed, yes but what you said in that first statement is not necessarily fact either. There is a difference between "final version" and "released version". As evident by the Rebel Heart album for example.

I still find it rather strange that they didn’t release the "final versions" of History and Superpop. Instead, they picked a remix that wasn’t very good and an early demo.

Nice idea but the a cappella seems to be out of synch with the instrumental. It’s not properly linked up.
