NEW Madonna Video - Batuka!

Madame X scores again with her newest video for "Batuka," a track from MADAME X which is already a worldwide streaming hit.

Other Madame X News: From the tour rehearsals, it appears that Madonna will be performing "Rescue Me," one of the new tracks on her 1990 release, 'The Immaculate collection.' "Rescue Me" has never been performed in concert before.

This dispels the inaccurate claims that the MADAME X tour would solely include songs from that album that hit #1 in the USA earlier this month.

MADAME X - comin' atcha!

I like this album (though she has much better ones), but I don't understand what she is doing with all of the promo singles/videos. I guess this is how music is released now? Is the single dead? She only cares about the tour? It's confusing.

by Anonymousreply 35July 20, 2019 12:26 AM

Good for Madonna for putting out music that she wants to do. A lot of the tracks on Madame X aren't exactly radio friendly. She knows top 40 radio has abandoned her, so she's putting out music that has a more of an experimental bent; the kind of stuff you'd likely hear on Sirius XM.

As for the plummet from the top of the charts, so what? Read the trades and they'll tell you that this has become more of a common occurrence as record labels and their artists want "Debuting at #1" bragging rights over longevity. There's very little money to be had by digital sales, so they're bundling it with other merchandise to increase profits and land at #1. This is why you have Taylor Swift albums selling with free hoodies and Papa John's Pizza, and DJ Khaled albums with the purchase of 10 cans of an energy drink.

R41 She can't stand the fact that she is a nostalgia act now and people only want to hear her old stuff at this point, but she's hard-headed and won't accept that. And when she does perform old songs, she remixes them to the point they're fucked up and unrecognizable. People don't want that shit. They want to hear songs in their original form in the way they grew to love them.

Billy Joel could teach Vadge something. He just played to a sold-out crowd at Madison Square Garden last month.

OP, you're coming on a little strong. The stanning and shilling is a bit much. And I say that as someone who really likes the album. This track, though very well produced, is not one I find myself returning to, but I'll agree that the video is very good. The story behind it is actually quite interesting and it's nice to see Madonna put a spotlight on these ladies and their culture. Oh, and the ghosts of the slave ships was a very striking touch. This was much more thoughtfully made than that wacky God Control video.

R59 (and, I assume, overbearing OP), don't be so thick. I'm not "afraid of a gun control message." If anything, M is late to the table on that discussion. I actually thought, in concept, the God Control video was interesting. I just thought it was poorly executed. It was done on the cheap and that was especially obvious in the scenes of carnage that looked like something out of an old B-movie. They needed professional actors and stunt people and, apparently, a stronger director than Jonas. But, anyway, back to the topic at hand, this is a much better video.

"God Control" with its nightclub shooting scenes was released around the anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting.

And "Batuka" with its chorus of women of color, performing in a genre of music that was supressed by the authorities for being rebellious, singing out lines like "There's a storm ahead / I hear the wind blowing / Will we win this race? / Get that old man / Put him in jail."

She's releasing all these videos because they were already made before the album dropped. All this promo stuff was done months ago -- she was posting pics on her instagram from these shoots back in spring, I think.

I miss the long stretch of Madonna from 1983 to about 2000 (even though I mentally checked out during the "Erotica"/SEX book/Body of Evidence years).

The narcissism didn't bother me so much when she was younger (maybe because I didn't quite understand how bad it was). But it's something that has "aged badly" and it can't be unseen, rationalized, or excused anymore.

by Anonymousreply 79July 21, 2019 9:41 AM

I've never liked her personality or found her musically interesting but I liked "Vogue" and maybe one or two others. What I find fascinating are those who worship her and those who hate her. She doesn't inspire that strong emotion from me. Maybe because I've never sensed any genuine emotion from her or her work.

She's a pop music singer and not a very good one, as real singers go. Her years of being popular lasted longer than most pop stars get but they have passed. She seems unable to move on.

Love how Madonna is acting all close and chummy with everyone in the tour rehearsals on Instagram making it look like they're thicker than thieves and one big happy family. Probably the only good acting performance she's capable of ever pulling off.

All these musicians, singers and dancers that have worked on the album and are going on tour with her and are convinced that Madonna is their new best friend and will keep in touch with them after the Madame X era ends need a reality check.

OP - you're making this conversation near intolerable for those of us who genuinely like M and are looking forward to the tour. It's not black and white you crazy stan. One can enjoy M and find some of her behavior ridiculous. She's already cemented her place in popular culture, so there's no need to desperately defend her at every turn. Her legacy will withstand her current diminished popularity and relevance. It will even survive her more eye-rolling tendencies. And it will survive some internet snark, so lighten the fuck up.

70% new material seems high unless she's singing every album track. I'm gonna assume it will end up being more like 50-60%. Was reading she's been rehearsing Rescue Me??? I don't think shes' EVER performed that one. I'm guessing we'll get bloody Candy Shop again. She's obsessed with that song.
