Get OutJune 14, 2019 at 11:02 pm #1202938529First impression: Madame X gives no fucks.
This is a bold, fresh, ambitious album that is not afraid to experiment and be weird. It is also easily Madonna’s best work since 2005’s Confessions on a Dance Floor, which is rightfully seen as her last masterpiece.
According to the PR campaign, Madame X is Madonna’s alter ego with multiple identities. Madame X is a cha cha instructor, a teacher, a nun, and many other things. Much like the image/persona, the album is all over the place yet somehow consistent. Above all it’s unexpected – which of course was Madonna’s ticket to unparalleled success and her very essence up until roughly ten years ago when she turned generic and safe, seemingly all of a sudden.
If Madonna had released Madame X in, say, 2000, it would have been seen as a commercial suicide. It would also have become a fan favourite and reached cult status, much like other artists’ departures from their comfort zones such as Kylie Minogue’s Impossible Princess or, to a degree, Madge’s own Erotica and American Life. To release it now that she has lost a lot of her commercial clout marks a defiant artistic comeback, a superstar’s courageous departure from her prolonged period as a trend-chaser.
As such, it underlines Madonna’s peerlessness – with David Bowie gone, she is the one and only global pop icon over fifty who demands to exercise her right to reinvent her art and artistry instead of cashing out on past hits on endless farewell tours.
Sonically, Madame X is as adventurous as Madonna has ever been; lyrically, it is her most political statement to date. The controversial and divisive American Life (2003) was marketed as political but not a single track actually was; on Madame X, Madonna repeatedly demands us to wake up to the injustices faced by the marginalized people of the world. Sometimes she does this to a truly startling effect (God Control, Dark Ballet), sometimes it comes across clunky (Killers Who Are Partying), but at all times it reflects a socially conscious artist’s genuine angst in a world that’s taking a wrong turn.
There’s a prominent world music flavour all over the record, more so than one would have expected judging by the five tracks released prior to the album. Most of this influence comes from Latin America and Madonna’s adopted home country Portugal, and it’s a natural match for her.
First single Medellin, in which Madonna and Colombian megastar Maluma have authentically palpable chemistry, remains a gift that keeps giving. Other highlights are God Control that somehow works even though it packs in everything from feverish disco strings to a rap about drugs, and Crazy, a combination of Motown beats and Portuguese folk music that’s as close to traditionally catchy chart pop as anything here, yet has a thoroughly original sound. Come Alive, Batuka and I Don’t Search I Find – a flawless, smooth, understated hark back to the Vogue days – are sneaky growers.
Madame X isn’t perfect. Madonna’s voice is often overprocessed beyond reason, and it’s hard to understand why she saw it necessary to wear a grill in her mouth while recording the first verses of God Control (an otherwise epic track destined to become a fan favourite) and Crave, resulting in a confusingly mumbling delivery. There are some cringe-inducing lyrics as well. But who the hell cares when even the weakest moments have an air of honesty and inspiration that has been lacking from much of her work for nearly 15 years.
Madame X demands concentration and rewards repeated listens. There are no obvious hit singles – even the most obvious one, Medellin, has a decidedly unconventional structure – and the album is all the better for it. While not all tracks are brilliant (Future doesn’t quite get where it promises to go and I Rise never reaches the epic heights it aims for), none are soulless filler; even the ones I don’t care for have something fascinating going for them, be it a bonkers surprise twist in the song structure or a creatively selected sample.
Madame X is an artist.

Leaving Neverland
Madonna and the Breakfast ClubJune 12, 2019 at 11:30 am #1202934763No-one other than Egerton gave an Oscar-worthy performance. Madden was fine in a role that wasn’t as fleshy as it could have been; Bell also did what he could but looked like he had been brought in from a tv movie.
While Bryce Dallas Howard wasn’t Oscar-worthy either, her campy turn was deliciously in tune with the movie’s sensibilities.
Egerton was so phenomenal that none of the others really mattered anyway though.

For me they were co-leads and pushing Thompson in Supporting would be borderline fraud. But as we know, that would be nothing new.
