“I woke up in Medellín.
Another me could now begin.”
She's back, but who is she?
Following hot on the heels of the announcement that Our Glorious Leader is to perform at the Eurovision Song Contest next month, Madonna has announced a new album, and a mysterious new persona - Madame X...
...and here is her teaser video that serves as an introduction:
This new nom-de-plume, it seems, is the herald (as well as the title) of Queen Madge's first new album in four years which, as announced in the pre-publicity, will feature collaborations with rappers [groan; please spare us] SwaeLee and Quavo [who both sound like exotic vegan meat substitutes], with Brazilian "funk carioca" superstar Anitta, and with Colombian reggaeton singer Maluma.
And here is the first song released from the album, featuring the latter:
It's actually rather good [thankfully]!
We look forward to seeing - ahem - more of Mr Maluma [tats or no tats] in the future...

I sure hop this release is better then the last two flops. And she looks good in the picture you use. I was worried dear Madge was starting to look ravaged by plastic surgury.
ReplyDeleteI think she goes to the same clinic as Jessica Lange. Why do they do that to themselves..?
DeleteThe single is rather good, I feel, so I too keep my fingers crossed - I loathed Hard Candy, quite liked MDNA, but thought Rebel Heart was a bit "meh". She's due a good break, bless 'er!

I'm back!! Anyhow, I think this Madame X character is interesting....sometimes she has the whiff of Bette Davis about her.

I'm sure she'd take that as a compliment! Jx
DeletePS Glad you solved your commenting problem - hopefully it'll work again over at Mr DeVice, Mitzi or Maddie's.
Didn't Annie Lennox already do this multiple character thing years ago? Still, if Her Madgesty can do it even half as well, she should be all right.
ReplyDeleteMedellín is quite an easy listen, although the soft background beat that crescendos into the chorus reminds me of something else that I can't quite remember...
Our Glorious Leader will give it her best shot, of that I have no doubt! Jx
DeleteNice to have her back.
ReplyDeleteRoll on Eurovision.
I wonder if she'll sing Boom Bang-a-Bang or Ding-a-Dong? Jx
