Dark Miracles

Wish she'd sing Mon Amour instead of Mr Valentine

Yes. Cut out Illuminati and Holy Water. Relegate Unap ***** and Iconic to bonus tracks and absorb Messiah and Rebel Heart into standard tracklist. Rebel Heart and WAOM are the Avicii versions of course. Switch out Body Shop for VVV on the standard. And that's an album with 12 songs that falls just outside top 5 in Madonna's discography imo, instead of the lower regions it now occupies on most people's ranking. But back to CII: I've been A Belle Du Jour Can you blame me Can you blame me I've read Marquis De Sade Do you know it Did you like it I tried to find my way In unfamiliar faces I looked for love In unexpected places This is kinda the best bridge of the year

OFF Danceteria

Just had a religious experience to Empty Stadium on a late night walk. Highly recommend

How has nobody said this classic, that chorus really hits

OFF Danceteria

Lowkey this is one of the best videos of the 10s

I'll always maintain the sample work on BYL is fantastic like it just floats over the beat perfectly, a quintessential breezy summer smash Fully agree

SAVE Fragile OFF Danceteria

You betrayed me You enslaved me One together Foreeeeveeeerrrrr

That explains why it's the worst song on Popstar

Some people here are forgetting Messiah and I won't stand for it

The intro to Sunglasses immediately had me hooked, really enjoyed the rest of the song too. Empty Stadium and Brainrot....easily two of the most sonically engrossing songs to have come out this yar

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
