    Madonna's new work is flawless! Her best album since "Confessions on a dance floor". A risky and innovative record that only a singer who does not depend on market approval can produce. Causal and assertive lyrics that make an X-ray of the present world. A crazy musicality and unlike anything! Album difficult to digest at first audition and that turns into instant passion.

    Madame X shows, undoubtedly, that Madonna isn’t afraid of re-inventing herself. Despite the ageism cast upon her from haters, she is bold enough to release an album filled with new sounds and beats from Latin America as well as Portuguese-speaking countries. Let us all take her pill and dive into Madame X’s Multi-personae-musical world.

    While everybody is doing something ephemeral madonna is working again on sending a message to the world, showing musical characteristics so little known until now. The album has it all, emotional songs like Killers Who Are Partying also catchy songs like Crazy, the ultimate hymn God Control and I rise and of course the delicious beat of Faz Gostoso with Anitta.

Mesmo as apostas mais comerciais, que assustaram inicialmente, se encaixam bem no álbum. Não há dúvidas, o melhor álbum desde o Confessions. Adorei a influência portuguesa, latina e eletrônica.

    I had low expectations when I heard Medellín, Future and Crave but the reality is that this album is si cohesive and mature. It’s amazing how Madonna mixed sounds from her past works such as Erotica, Like a Prayer, Ray of Light or the self-titled album but at the same time has innovated with new portuguese/latin sounds. Once again, the Queen of Pop is back

    Madonna is well-known for her reinventions, and for most cases she has pulled it off quite successfully.

When she began to take on her latest image a couple of months ago, I suspected that her latest persona, Madame X--"a secret agent who changes personalities"--was crafted to allow her to wade through the vast waters of the current soundscape and target the diverse tastes of the millennial generation. The impression I got is that of an artist who can't decide on a central theme for her next project, so why not do a little bit of everything? The result is the sonically interesting yet incoherent Madame X the album. There's no question that it's an eclectically inspired collection; but as with all new releases from musicians, we've all grown to look for that common thread (whether musical or thematic), the artist's heart and soul if I may, holding the collection together. To be honest, I'm having difficulty seeing past the socially, politically, ideologically bait-y Madame X persona and finding the essence of Madonna in this album. But then again, b*tch she's Madonna, and maybe her brand is all about change, not conformance to singular aesthetic or musical expectations of her fans. In that aspect, I appreciate her staying true to her image in this new album era. Having said that, Madame X the album--with its insane amounts of autotune and oft-random and bizaare musical construction-wins no first listen love from me. Perhaps a few more proverbial (at least until my vinyl preorder arrives) spins will win me over.… Expand

    Album redondo, bien producido y muy original. Fanático o no encontrará un compedio de canciones pop realmente sorprendente. Lo mejor: God Control, Looking for nercy, Faz gostoso.

    This is a great album. Madonna has never disappointed me. Us diehard fans always felt she is the most relevant artist of all time. I'm happy she's still around to make me feel like i'm in my teens waiting for the midnight sale to go buy her albums (hence True Blue 1986) diehard till the end.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es su mejor álbum en esta década, y la mejor reinvención desde Confessions On A Dance Floor. Cada canción tiene un sonido distinto y esto provoca que sea tan pesado escucharlo. La lírica es perfecta. Mirwais y Madonna lograron un excelente resultado.… Expand

    Another great masterpiece from Madonna. Fearless in her career. One of her most creative albums since American Life. The ballsy Madonna is back. God Control must be the next single.

    I'd say in my honest opinion, Madame X is one of Madonna's best records since Confessions On A Dance Floor. Some of my personal favorites from Madame X are, "Crave" featuring Swae Lee, "Dark Ballet", "I Rise" which is iconic at best, as well as her stunning "Looking For Mercy" and her heart throbbing powerful ballad, "Extreme Occident" which I liked a lot. "Batuka" is another amazing trackI'd say in my honest opinion, Madame X is one of Madonna's best records since Confessions On A Dance Floor.

"Batuka" is another amazing track that is flooded with African Culture, and is a really catchy track by Madonna. "Medellin", and **** I'm Loca" featuring Maluma, are really interesting and catchy, and are some of Madonna's most creative works of art in this century alone. Another catchy tune I liked was, "I Don't Search, I Find" which is very creative, and is an aspiring Disco infused EDM track, which brings her back to her 90's roots, like "Vogue", "Deeper And Deeper", and some of her early 2000's work, Music, and American Life.

    I'd say I would give this a perfect 10 based on it's creativity that Madonna put into this record. Madame X has done it again!    … Expand

    This is truly a masterpiece. She achieves to combine different musical genres without losing her identity. A musical journey worth listening to. Madame X is an album you need to listen without prejudice. It is Madonna experimenting and taking risks no other artist of her size would ever take. Just brilliant.

    Madonna at 60, showing that there is no age to reinvent herself again. The record starts with the fresh, latin-oriented track "Medellin" with colombian star "Maluma". As the record goes on and Madonna sings "I had a dream and I woke up in medellin" she certainly wakes up on the next tracks. Those gets a different take on Madonna. The Madonna on full rage political mode. "Dark Ballet" picksMadonna at 60, showing that there is no age to reinvent herself again.

God Control give us 90's Madonna vibes at her best (so does I don't search, I find). Then Madonna takes us to morocco, cabo verbe, Portugal, Brazil. It's really a global album. It finishes with "I Rise". One of her best tracks on this decade. This is a 10/10 album that only a very inspired Madonna could deliver. She gives pop creativity at best and geniality. We live in a Madonna world and Madame X borrows it from her.… Expand

    Um álbum que reflete a globalidade da música, as diversas expressões culturais e formas de se expressar politicamente. Madame X é um dos trabalhos mais coesos e bem trabalhados da Rainha do Pop, provando mais uma vez que mesmo com quase 40 anos de carreira ela ainda tem muito a mostrar para o mundo.

    The pace plods on some mid-tempo tracks, but overall this is a personal, politically-charged mix of dark thoughts and good vibes. [Aug 2019, p.88]

    Overall, Madonna’s fourteenth album Madame X feels as if Mirwais had mostly completed a decent run-of-the-mill modern pop record, albeit with a cool hotch-potch global feel; hip nods in place to fado, dub and other micro-genres dunked amongst the trap and retro disco. But then just before sign-off, Herself went through the top-lines with a sharpie. ... None of these carefully curated flourishes feel as if they truly live inside the ‘whole’ of this music. Instead it all feels plonked on top of a template.

    Madonna has created this music for an audience of one: Herself. Often it works. Sometimes it doesn’t.
