New Madonna single

This is like a vintage Morrissey lyric; imagine if Madonna had written "How Soon Is Now?". Juxtaposing this bleakness with the part where she talks about how she's living the American dream with her honey, then completely nods to Prince, then jumps straight into her "Fuck J-Lo" rap... absolute genius.

...can someone pretty please forcibly air-drop Monsieur Mirwais into a small rural Texas town so he can get his eyes gouged out and his hands cut off by a parade of French wine bottle-smashing hoodlums since he has almost singularly destroyed my Madonna-lurve and made the last three years excrutiatingly difficult for my worship of the former Great Goddess of popular culture? Please S'IL VOUS-PLAIT ppplease?

WHERE THE FUCK IS PATRICK LEONARD???????????????

But I like the song now (I think the extreme intake of cough syrup had something to do with my initial reaction to "Music"), so I'm hopeful that this song (which sounds FRIGHTENING) won't drive my to leap off something.

Needs more cocaine.

I can't find the Madonna track for download anywhere, I just keep finding fakes. Who te hell does stuff like that? That's a sad life.

I can kind of do that thing she does in that picture, except I never tried with heels, I think I will do that today at the gym. The heels I mean.

ha! I bet you haven't even heard the thing.

She's pulled the video. Wimp.

Some of those minor/major things work great. That one just sounds like a cassette that was left in the sun.

"In the teaser, Madonna describes Madame X as “a dancer, a professor, a head of state, a housekeeper, an equestrian, a prisoner, a student, a mother, a child, a teacher, a nun, a singer, a saint, a whore,” and “a spy in the house of love.”"

Madame X - she's been all of us

must say i am intrigued by "killers who are partying"

same but "dark ballet"

single is both trend-hopping and deeply weird, but it's probably the first time i've been more intrigued than indifferent toward a lead madonna single since.... "hung up"? this is no "hung up" but

Y'all enjoy. This is v bad.

it was also produced by mirwais which is extremely weird to me

appears that a lot of the album has been produced by mirwais.

Madonna finally relents and works with a prior collaborator and she chooses Mirwais?

Didn't she try working with William Orbit again and it didn't work out?

Not really feeling the new single. There's a nice breezy feel to the verses but the chorus feels clumsy and the song is two minutes too long. It's definitely stronger than her last few leads but that really isn't saying much.

i mean i'd say the majority of stuff she made with mirwais was good

of course i wish it were stuart price, alas xp

Hung Up is prob my favourite single of the 2000s so that’s a high bar.

This is a bit dull but it’s curious enough to pique interest about the album. I don’t mind Mirwais. “Nobody’s Perfect” remains incredible.

i said it was no "hung up"! it absolutely isn't, i haven't even decided if i like it lol

OK, kids, let's see what's got you hopped up.
