not for me, it’s a rare situation when she sounds good. her voice is just unpleasant to the ears.

This is amazing  love the production and the overall vibe. Here for Abel to make more music like this 

I wouldn’t mind if he’s doing this type of sound on his next album 

[HASHTAGPOW]

A bit refreshing to hear these vocals from Madonna

The profile pic.... Is this a set-up 

they are both terrible live, but at least Selena can pull it off in the studio.

I like Selena’s studio voice a lot

When it comes to live Madonna can work that microphone without a problem unlike Selena 

[TrueBlood]

It sounds like it belongs to Hard Candy, or the overall sound Justin Timberlake/Timbaland were making during that era. The beat is really good and I didn't expect Madonna to sound so involved and right on the track.

[Starkboy]

Shocked JT isn't involved in this

 

Anyway Madonna ate them up. She sounds great while The Weeknd is kinda monotone.

 

overall it's cute.

[Frozen99]

what in hard candy.. it's ok but nothing spectacular, kinda boring. and carti's baby/MJ voice is cringe.

[Yawn]

this is surprisingly good and i love the production. but mostly what a relief that the weekend refrained from his usual shrill and piercing vocals that are deeply unpleasant.

Right lmfao Creepin’ is painful to listen to with that whiny baby voice

[Vrajesh]

Production is fire, i dont like Carti's part. I like Madonna's spoken word opening more than her voice in the verse. She feels a bit out of place 

They sounds all good on the final chorus 

I'm impressed and disappointed at the same time 

[spiritboy]

This is really nice. Hope it’ll debut at #100 Hot in US and #75 in UK so we Madge stans can have a hit in 2023 

[Maxiking0708]

a bop 

 

[The Second Coming]

Oh, seeing now it has got some nice playlisting hopefully can go on the Billboard 100 top 40 at least 

[Post Malone]

Madonna sounds good for once 

[Madonno]

Ok I liked it

[State of Grace.]

It's cute but I wanted more Madge on the song 

[John Slayne]

Madonna and Abel sound great, we need a version without Carti tbh

[Kayseri Mantisi]

Madonna and Abel sound great, we need a version with extended Carti verse tbh

[Post Malone]

Playboy Carti was giving seizure on the track be for real, a Ty Dolla Sign on Accelerate exhibition

Your fav says the otherwise

 

[Summer Boy]

I like the song a lot! I'm happy Abel is switching it up, and trying this 2000s sound. As for Madonna, I'm very surprised, her vocals sound good here ; her vocals since MDNA (or maybe before? but I did not listen to Hard Candy so I wouldn't know) were tragic. The chorus is a bit weak tho, but the post-chorus / hook by Playboi Carti is SO catchy. A 7/10.
