Dark Miracles

Dua on Bizarre would be amaaazing. And need Nelly on School.

I dunno how to feel about the Charli XCX remix. I don't think she fits on Danceteria which feels super personal to Madonna and I think it hurts the pristine image this album has right now. Would've liked to have her on Everything instead

Fires & Flames really is a god-tier ballad. And the title track Joyride and Stuck With Me still go off IMO shorter song lengths are definitely being imposed by labels on artists so they can get as many single-LP vinyl variants pressed as they know that's where a fanbase will likely splurge for an album release, and of course also for the streaming algos or whatever. It sucks but I feel like it's a compromise many artists have to go through right now with streaming dominance and vinyl being a semi-lucrative sales tactic again

Been having a Tinashe video night and honestly I'm just in awe again of how many excellent videos she's delivered on an indie budget, she's a legend I'd Rather Be Alone is the one so far And I'm still gonna need Energy on streaming

Homegirl at the very start completely ate that...she had 5 seconds and wanted to make history

As always he gets upstaged so badly by his dancer (boyfriend?) in his videos lol He just doesn't have it and got lucky with a few notable producers giving him surprisingly strong material the past few years

SAVE Love Without Words OFF I Feel So Free

Marianne is really doing it for me rn I pre-ordered the alternate cover 2LP

I think it's time to test the waters with Bizarre at the VMAs tbh And yeah I don't think she's touring this record either, which is a damn shame because a tour centered on COAD/CII material would be instantly goated. But she might feel like she can't do the material justice in her current body

It should be Madonna. Or Robyn's Talk To Me. Or Tinashe. But lbr they will give it to Harry Styles' reductive Simply Red tribute

Need another Don't Leave Me Hanging or All My Life And Then...

SAVE Love Sensation OFF Bizarre

People Watching

Summer of 2006 as a kid in the record store and hearing this BLASTING out of a convertible driving by is one of my core memories

Move Me was initially my least fave of the demos, but it's definitely growing on me. Still behind I Am and especially Weak though

Love Without Words eternally pristine

Wait yeah there's Rascal and Naturally (video version) too damn

Needs X All Hands On Deck I have a soft spot for No Drama too because of the Jimmy Fallon performance

Need it on vinyl tho

Ehm why is the dancer plopping down on the box at the start so funny?

Nelly Furtado/Fergie beef, and more specifically an oblivious DJ playing Give It To Me at Fergie's party during that time always takes me out

That key change on Weak
