    Just a New Vision of how pop music can go, and It comes from an artist who made It too many times. At the end of the day, she still can deliver, as always. Madame X is Strong, Scary and Really Impressive. A Genius Artist made A Genius Record.

    I love this new work of Queen Madonna... the songs are taking a little bit of each culture of the World, and it sounds increíble. There are some songs that maybe must not be on the álbum, but it is a part of the worlwide songs. Fav songs: Crave, Faz Gostoso, God Control, Looking for Mercy, Crazy and **** Im Loca... maybe we Can put Im Alive and Medellín too.

    It's a incredible and experimental piece of arte. "Batuka" is something really unique. Extreme Occident and Killers Who Are Partying are unbelieveblie tracks. Even the median tracks that were released before the album, become great in the contest of Madame X.

O cenário que ela descreve em God Control é assustadoramente o retrato de uma política global que vivemos aqui no brasil ou nos EUA.

    Madame X is the newest innovation of pop, we leave these cheesy and senseless songs, and plunge into the music era as her true art. Once again, Madonna proves that she is the Queen of Pop and no one has picked up her crown, she launches the trend and in a while, we will see many artists doing their songs, with the same sonority of Madame x.

    It's Madonna at its most provocative essence since American Life. An album that did not come to follow trends or play streamings, because she sings away from the comfort zone and with her feet on the ground, when she says in Portuguese that the world is wild and the road is lonely. Lonely because they are few artists with their visibility giving voice to causes that need to be heard.It's Madonna at its most provocative essence since American Life.

Lonely because they are few artists with their visibility giving voice to causes that need to be heard. The scenario she describes in God Control is frighteningly the picture of a global politics we live here in Brazil or the USA. Madonna proves in Madame X how much is needed and once again unites pop and art under the eyes of an artist who has seen a lot and feels privileged to be able to continue being heard.

There is a true paradox in each song and you have to listen carefully : the lyrics, the music, the choir, her voice and how she plays with it, everything is here on purpose. These lyrics are also amazing, with a political dimension. Again, she is showing to every pop star on this planet what their role should be, what is the essence of music : convey powerful emotions and messages.

There are strange oddities in here that made me think about the score: Medellin is a headscratcher of a lead single, and Dark Ballet - a bit too experimental for my taste. But I still admire the creative force in both tracks. There are also oddities that do work, like God Control and Batuka.

And then there are a bunch of songs that are Madonna's best tracks in 20 years : I Don't Search I find, Crazy, Crave, Faz Gostoso are perfect pop tracks that deserve massive airplay.

    Un excelente album, sin duda Madonna sigue experimentando con nuevos sonidos mientras que otras cantantes se van a lo seguro. Recomendadisimo.

Madame X is like a trip inside an addicted society, it has highs, lows, recovery, and solutions. You will encounter a lot of unexpected, and to say the least unconventional musical arrangements within the album. As a personal note, my favorite work typically lies within the remix eps of the singles released after the album, and with Medellin, I Rise, and the soon to be released Crave remix Ep, I'm going be dancing, crying, and inspired for quite some time.… Expand

    After 2 months of listening to Madame X on repeat, I felt obliged to create a Metacritic account to proclaim what a great album this is! Many people (as we can see by the stupid critics' reviews) will not get it, but it is frankly speaking, a masterpiece! This is art in the purest sense. It's profound and transcendental.

Many people (as we can see by the stupid critics' reviews) will not get it, but it is frankly speaking, a masterpiece! This is art in the purest sense. It's profound and transcendental. If you listen to the album from beginning to end, you will understand! I admit I did not care for the promotional singles or roll out of this album at all; I was expecting the worst. But when I stayed up till midnight and God Control started playing, I knew I was in for a ride! The album just kept getting better and better! It's one of her best albums ever and I wish it would get the recognition it deserves! Yes, some of the lyrics are clunky but the message and the mood of the album is incredible! It's like nothing out there! If you're looking for something new, you must give Madame X a taste. In a world of Top 40 factory-made singles, Madonna has really done us all a huge favor here gifting us this treat! I love you, Madonna!… Expand

    Madonna is a Queen. She only paved the way for many other artists to be able to do what they do now. And Madame X is amazing. But it, stream it, love it.

    Great album that shows creative growth, lyrical genius, and the fact that she has been a pop artist for over 4 decades.

    If Madonna calls herself 'Queen', no one can ever deny. How can a musican still produce such an excellent work and reach great achievement.

    This album is very different for Madonna. She experimented with R&B, african influences and alot of Portugese.

The album has political songs aswell, it discuss important Issues like gun control, ageism, human rights etc. She goes back in time with “I don’t search, I find” and she ends with beatiful “I rise”. It’s definetly not an album for everyone, but it’s masterpiece and will get recognition it deserves sooner or later.… Expand

    I love every song in it, every song is unique you can feel her voice and her feelings I'm songs like crazy, crave and God control, but most of all In looking for mercy and I rise that one is a love letter for the LGBT community, and I just love it, I want more of her music, the only queen of pop.

    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.
