Escape Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 Guess I'm gonna have to give Bad Bunny a stream or two.
Chris Posted October 14, 2023 Posted October 14, 2023 Phew. I don't even know what to even say... People dragging her in the tour thread for not performing certain songs.
Drowned8World Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 do you think we will hear the song with Max Martin this year or she just ditched the whole thing?

GlamSlam Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 She's heavily rumoured to play Glastonbury next year, so I think the Max Martin track is part of an upcoming album. Remember, she's also been working with Nile Rogers and Honey Dijjon too, so what else could it be? 1

Anyway the fact that she never performed Waiting or Thief of Hearts, like 55 minutes ago, Chris said: Yes, yes it is. I'm gonna embarrass myself for a moment: I've struggled to connect with Madonna's discography as a whole outside of the singles and a few deep cuts despite being a fan for most of my life. The only album I truly connected with for a long time was Confessions and I love most of Ray Of Light and Rebel Heart. I think my favourite thing about Madonna is her live shows - she has created some of my favourite live shows ever (and thank God she always records and releases them!). I've always loved her singles discography too and it houses some of my favourite songs ever. So in preparation for The Celebration Tour, I gave Erotica another go despite only loving Erotica, Deeper and Rain beforehand. And I'm obsessed with it now and think it's one of the best albums I've ever heard. I think because parts of the album are spoken instead of sung may have thrown me off before because I usually don't listen to music that follows that style, but I've appreciated it as a method to create dynamics in the music (i.e. when she begins to sing it's like a breath of fresh air, and then when she begins to speak again, we can listen even more closely to the lyrics. It creates a call-and-response-like style to the music). Furthermore, the instrumentation is gorgeous: the use of bass and piano in particular are highlights to me. The lyricism and cultural context are also really important to the album as it was designed to be both educational to the world and to be an escapism for queer people. I also like that each song is different from the previous song but ultimately it feels the songs unite well to create a cohesive body of work. My favourite at the moment is "Waiting" - the bass line and progression throughout the song is excellent and makes me feel like the main character. The attitude and energy in "Thief Of Hearts" I also adore ("b!*ch!") Edited October 17, 2023 by holyground13 Typos 3
