Madonna - what went wrong?

Featured Replies

Madonna has just released another single love sensation from her upcoming album, "Confessions II," which will be released on July 3rd. However, something's not right. When I first heard Bring Your Love, I thought it was a misunderstanding. Before its release, one might have thought the duet with Sabrina would be a hit, but it turned out to be very bland, repetitive, and without any progression michael The mixing is poor, and the lyrics don't make much sense. Unfortunately, even Sabrina couldn't save it. I thought, okay, maybe this is a one-off, and the other songs will be much better, perhaps even approaching the quality of the original "Confessions."

Unfortunately, Love Sensation turned out to be just as weak. I've also noticed that many Madonna fans themselves are disappointed with the direction the queen of pop has taken. What went wrong? Is the new album doomed to failure, or is it just a temporary setback?

    Why don't you take your own advice, apply it to Madonna, and shove it up your ass?

    Didn't read any of this because everything she's been doing so far, I've been impressed with. This era seems to care-free, Queer, and fun. Nothing serious or deep except her continuous advocacy for LG

When she first announced this project with the cover I did have high hopes, but I think this will come and go immediately upon release

I'm just trying to understand what happened to Madonna's music and why there's such a decline in quality michael you really don't need to bring Kukai card each time when you don't know how to answer

how could something have gone wrong when she's more iconic and accomplished than all of our faves. Yours included!

The songs are not her best either, and the latest is a muffled mess. But the worst crime is definitly the Confessions throwback 'marketing campaign'. It devalued the whole thing even more...

I really feel she has lost her mojo after 2007.

She still manage to create good songs, but nothing hits as hard as her 1982-2005 catalog.

Her new music is good but the vocal production is questionable. I feel like it's on purpose but i don't get why...

Besides the usual complaints about the vocals Love Sensation has been very well received though? So idk what you're talking about.

IFSF also ended pretty much everything she did in the 2010s.

Madonna is almost 70 years old. At this point it's a miracle for her stans and pop fans in general that she is still passionate and interested in releasing music. A gift. She has nothing to prove.

I agree about the production of the songs that is strangely bad, though I enjoy BYL and Love Sensation, they're fun and I am happy about it as I really hated Madame X.

you are more invested in this era than some fans jonny5is this why your faves streams are so low?

is this why Madonna's streams are so low? Maybe you should mobilize

nothing went wrong. all three songs she released so far are great.

I've been critical on her but since her dans have been cute I will be.

I think she is just trying to please her fans and do an era she wants to and work with Stuart Price who she clearly loves, and I'll give her that at her age.

But, I agree with what Linda Perry said regarding Madonna's artistry, and I do find her 'reductive' comment ironic. I did back then when she released MDNA after Hard Candy and it's ironic now for Confessions ll
