Maleficent 6 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Excited for Dark Ballet, God Control, Killers, Extreme Occident, and I Don’t Search I Find the most... Interesting no ones talking about Come Alive and Crazy, considering it is VERY rare for Madonna not to get top billing in terms of songwriting... (even when she didn’t write most of the song, like Open Your Heart, she usually is given top billing) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LouiseVeronica 426 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Uhm, these might be the best Madonna album reviews of her career, like damn, I have literally NEVER experienced this in a pre album release from Madonna. Like normally I hate critics, and a lot of these reviews still have their agesist sexist bullcrap in them, but like, seems like everyone agrees the album is something really special! Madonna fans are so freakin lucky I sweat tg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like if you really read into them, they're subtly throwing backhanded compliments every few sentences because they can't find any negatives in the music itself. Madonna comes out on top as always You're so right and its absolutely glorious to read! 6.14 cannot come soon enough!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you consider that high then a live Beyonce album getting 98 and all her latest albums 90 means.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hades 27,980 Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 ANSA Madonna Madame X, unscrupulous freedom and Latin fusion The Queen of Pop returns on June 14 with a new provocation ''the dark 'Killers Who Are Partying', where Madonna symbolically identifies herself with the last and the outcasts, professing in the first place the great confusion of the contemporary world. Where the desire to dance does not dominate (as in the reinterpretation of the Brazilian hit 'Faz Gostoso' with Anitta), the tones are in fact often dark: as in 'Dark Ballet', a rhapsody of genres and styles ranging from Cajkovsky's pop to the Nutcracker'' '' in 'God Control', where the 'Like A Prayer' choirs alternate with a disco music arrangement taken from the seventies. In this last track, in particular, the autotune sung by Madonna, constant of the entire album, is almost whispered like closed lips, as if to recall the cover image, where the artist is portrayed with her mouth sewn'' an 'Extreme Occident' condemned to seek himself elsewhere; to get lost in the Parisian images of a love in 'Crazy', or have fun with Maluma's sexual allusions in 'Bitch I'm Loca'; and finally to look back, coming almost to excite his 'Vogue' in the 90s beat dance of 'I Don't Search I Find'. http://www.ansa.it/sito/notizie/cultura/2019/06/06/madonna-madame-x-liberta-spregiudicata-e-fusion-latina_9ef430f7-9508-48d0-87d2-68caa299abb7.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
