    I never thought i could be really surprised with pop music again. It's refreshing to know there's still new ways to explore.

    After almost 4 decades in the music industry Madonna shows one more time why she is a legend. This is an absolute creative, challenging, deep and innovative album, with musical influences from Latin America (Colombia, Brazil), Portugal and Africa as well as disco, trap, house among others. Madonna doesn't play safe and is not afraid of taking risks, not only sonically but also lyrically.After almost 4 decades in the music industry Madonna shows one more time why she is a legend.

    Madonna has stopped chasing charts and instead focused on creating a multilayered, thought provoking package of pop music that mixes different styles, sounds and messages into a perfect combo that you can't get out of your head!

    Best album for the past decades. Brought out a lot of emotions in me.
    The autotune is a little to digest at first, but as a whole, sonically, it built the tone of the whole album.

    Madame X is by far and away Madonna's boldest album put forth, and that is saying something from the same artist who released Erotica, American Life and Ray of Light. While I've only had a few days to sit and soak up this album properly my reaction is that this work will define her even more so than Like A Prayer or Ray of Light.

Traditional song structure has been jettisoned in favor of more "stream of conciousness" style songwriting. Production from Mirwais and Mike Dean is thoughtful, nuanced and perfectly accented to the individual mood of each song. The younger generation (Beyonce included) will be studying this one for years to come.… Expand

    Madame X is surprisingly good. After the releases of MDNA and Rebel heart i was afraid this would be just another EDM or pop music like everybody else is doing, but it turns out to be one of the best albums of her entire carrier. Some of the sounds are very experimental and sound bizarre but never unpleasant. My favorite tracks are Dark Ballet, Crazy and God Control. This is a master pieceMadame X is surprisingly good.

    Experimental, different to anything that is out there. Highly addictive. When you listen from beginning till the end, Madame X takes you in a journey around the world dancing and opening your eyes to new rhythms and yet a very Madonna album

    Madonna feels free to experiment with musics and sounds from around the globe producing a global album in which she joins forces once again with the french producer Mirways who knows how to elevate Madonna art and ideas to another level.

    Madonna not following any trends but making them yet again. Great record, memorable, different, weird, intriguing. Has a lot of powerful stuff to say in its lyrics. Breath of fresh air compared to the same tired boring artists that get played on the radio today but for some silly reason radio stations don’t know good pop music and have a problem with Madonna being 60. Pathetic.

    This record represents the artistic genius Madonna is. Every song is different than the other. It's an incredible fusion of pop music with sounds from different cultures. You travel the world when listening the album. During the same time, you also hear her discussing some issues happening in the world, some personal issues: pain, love, desire.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Madame X is Madonna’s latest re invention and what a comeback it is! Truly Madonna at her true artistic self. This album is experimental and thought provoking tackling major current issues such as gun control, democracy as well as LGBTQ issues. Rather than taking a dark route in direction with these issues Madonna creates a uplifting disco infused track called God control which tackles the subject of gun control the lyrics are deep but the disco beat is fun and uplifting. Madonna 40 years into her career still creating masterpieces whilst many in her position would just be in Vegas or singing covers of ABBA songs. This album is definitely #1 smash hit and the critics agree… Expand

    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.
