    This is Madonna's best album since Confessions on a Dance Floor. She manages to take many genres, mix them together and make the work brilliantly. God Control is **** crazy, but works flawlessly.

This album really sets Madonna apart from all her peers, and actually elevates her and now has no equal. This album is a true work of art. just like Ray of Light, Confessions & Like a Prayer, she set the standard for how music will be made going forward.… Expand

    A brilliant masterpiece, a trip that inspire and awake all the senses. The highest points of the album to me are the tracks: "Crazy", "Looking For Mercy", "Crave", "I don't search I find" & "Faz Gostoso".

    Fabulous return to form for Madonna. Very diverse and musically creative album and was well worth the wait. I can't stop listening to it and hear different parts of songs each time. Dark Ballet is brilliant and bonkers. Thanks Madonna x

    The most creative incredible album since confessions, standard as ray of light. The highlight of Madonna’s European influence is for me, crazy and come alive. There is something for everyone here, I’d like to congratulate her amazing imagination, skill and knowledge of what makes amazing music.

    She's Madonna and she keeps on doing it. An album so rich in sounds and rhythms, takes you back to so many times and reminds you of many things. It's my Madonna that I fell in love with for the first time!

    Faz Gostoso a melhor música da década, aceitem ou morram, entretanto podemos destacar vários outras músicas que então pouco tempo já se transformaram em hinos atemporais. Batuka é incrível, Looking For Mercy, God Control, Crazy e I Rise

    How to create and be relevant after 40 years dominating pop culture ? Madonna provides her own answer : fusion of genres and cultures, mix of light and political themes... the sound production is really well done : this is not a pop album, this is not an electronic album, this is not a world music album ...a bit of all that.

    Best album of 2019 and one of the best of his career. I liked the new elements used for song composition. Madonna always innovating and doing something experimental that works. Very good to listen to Fado de Portugal, regatton, African music, electronic funk and pop on a rich record like this.

    Without a doubt it's the best album since Confessions on a Dance Floor! Madame X is an inspiring and very artistic, political and controversial album. Madonna shows why she is the only Queen of Pop in this great job!

    Unexpectedly weird, bizarrely chaotic and absolute genius! Madonna proves once again why she is the reigning 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.
