M i K E Y 5,959 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 The concept was fantastic but the execution… the autotune ruined the album for me nevertheless I love several songs on this album and listen to them regularly (especially I Rise) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlingNotTheMusic 27,653 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I love all of Madonna's music but she started using autotune heavily a few years ago and this album went too far imo. She has a beautiful voice, not really sure why they went this route. It's takes the life out of the vocals for me. Naturally everyone will have an off note here and there. Only the most perfect singers will not. When you have her earlier records to compare to, or even COADF, her vocals make Madame X hard to listen to. With that said, we got what we got and there's tons of great songs on the album. I do wish she would try to be more herself and less controversial for controversy-sake. But some points were made, obviously. Also the visuals were spot on. As a whole package, the era was her best in many many years. Rebel Heart was very inconsistent. Looking forward to what she's bringing next! Just hope she tones down the autotune. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To ask Madonna to be a tame, uncontroversial, figure is asking her not to be her authentic self. You remind me that it's such a wonderful thing to love.

I see what she was doing and I actually enjoy those songs, but if I were from those countries I may not feel the same. There's a few other things, but even as an avid Madonna fan I feel she's at this point in her career she has nothing left to prove, so why do things just because they are controversial or different? I watched her interviews about how passionately she feels about said foreign language songs. But idk maybe I couldn't buy a lot of it because of the deep autotune. If you're going to go multicultural, ok go ahead, but let us hear your voice Ma. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one that's for everyone but one that's part of her current art buy bionic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it doesn't "generate" controversy in society, doesn't mean the subject matter or visuals weren't controversial. She can't control the lack of radio play and exposure for her album. Most people I know didn't even know she had record out... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
