Shimenawa Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 1 hour ago, Album Leak said: Masterpiece is one of my favorite Madonna songs of all time, and Falling Free is the second best song on the album. So safe to say I was not into the electronic elements of the album at all. Masterpiece & Falling Free are actually good songs. Maybe she should have pulled an Adele with a ballad album 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleStarmen Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 It seems it was supposed to be a heavy EDM Divorce album (GGW, Gang bang) with its images but when the superbowl happened they dilluded it for a more basic approach and we got GMAYL and the rest and the tour was where it was the real madonnas visions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recycling producers don't always work tbh Orbit works on ROL is stellar but on MDNA it's flat, even Love Spent sounds a bit unfinished, she should have stick with one main producer and a co-producer on some tracks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HonourableVomit Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I disagree with the narrative that EDM being popular means Madonna making it should've been a slam dunk. It was a young person's game and she spent 2 years making a movie about English royals and the media was zooming in on her hands and ****. The climate was not going to allow Madonna to get hits. Instead, she should've ditched the attempts to make radio music (Solveig) and just gone for it. But like Orbit said, she was doing the Super Bowl and didn't get to put her full focus on the album and it was rushed and unsatisfying. If they had the time to let him cook his demo mixes into the full project....... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorjesspazze9 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 It was unfortunate she came back in the worst era of EDM sonically. She should have gone with future bass producers and what was happening in Japan. Would have been way better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Silva Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 In response to the question presented by this thread title, No. "Girl Gone Wild" is arguably the least inspired single from Madonna's entire discography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iaintsorry Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I think the biggest criticism of this album is always the cohesion so yes I think sticking to just any one of the main producers would have benefited the album. But she herself said this was hard to accomplish due to scheduling conflicts and it didn't help she had a major film project and the Super Bowl all happening at the same time.

The7thStranger Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I think the biggest issue is that Madonna didn't bake the cake long enough. The album simply isn't finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoAngelus Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 (edited) 22 hours ago, Charmed Life said: Her career wasn't dead for very long, considering Rebel Heart and MX peaked at #1 and 2 on the Billboard 200 - which was higher than any Mariah album since 2008. 1-77-OUT is not something to brag about Mariah has Xmas catalog that puts her on top of the charts every single year, she doesn't need new music to do that when she's more relevant than ever thanks to the power of Xmas song on streaming services.
