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?
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 17 April 2019 18:19 (four years ago) link
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'll say her Spanish is pretty decent. That's the best thing I can say about the track.

^^^ fair reaction

Me and the newly-out lodger were just dancing round the kitchen to this, and we've decided we like it. Extra points for the Usha Uthup reference, too. https://youtu.be/k8f5Itra2Wo

time to dig out that Mirwais album then I guess.and, to be fair while driving home, when the song came on the radio (Sara Cox R2 : EXCLUSIVE build up etc), it was rather enjoyable ..

too funny. will never intentionally listen again.

I listened to it four times in a row, hoping I could dig anything out of it. I couldn't. How many times is too many times to still give Madonna the benefit of the doubt?
Then I thought, young people don't give one fuck about Madonna. And her older fans just listen to Lady Gaga now instead. She's in an interzone desperately attempting to stay on-trend when she could probably do something else with far more success.

i'm not sure this is accurate

Me neither; I know an “older” Madonna megafan who cares little for Gaga (despite my recent attempts to get him into Joanne).That said, I’m not sure how much he cares about “new” Madonna, either...

I'm talking about moms and shit who probably still buy cd's, but a couple a year. Not us (although I now listen to way more Gaga than anything Madonna is making).

oh i guess it makes sense she worked with Mirwais on this because this is just as bizarre as "American Life"
― ufo, Saturday, 8 June 2019 15:52 (four years ago) link
the album's credits have fewer collaborators since the Stuart Price days. We'll see if it works.

ILM has never been more wrong than in the first hundred or so posts to this thread.
