Madonna didn't add "Popular" with The Weeknd on Confessions II. Surprised?
Between "Fragile" and "Sins" it wouldn't have sounded too much alien... Even thought i would have been a terrible idea.

Max Martin heavily rumoured to have produced majority of TM4
Hopefully Max will help her to find HER SOUND just like he helped Ariana with it. Tate has potential but her music sounds like a constant tribute to 2004 Britney and PCD.

Ariana Grande - 'petal'
I hope this album will be solo. Something about a full solo album feels more classy. 💅🏻

Madonna's collab felt natural; Gaga's did not. Do you agree?
In a perfect world, pop artists would collaborate without any side idea, just cause they want to make art and fun together. Gaga and Madonna very rarely collaborate with only "pure intentions to support another artist", they know they will benefit from working with IT new singers. Chromatica featurings (minus Elton) felt obvious forced, same for Madonna's since... A long time ago. Me Against The Music was strong enough as a solo song. Putting Madonna on it doesn't sound very genuine and organic. Madonna was struggling after American Life... Pairing with Britney (and GAP, and Missy Elliot, and kids books) was a way to try to save her statut in the USA. Bring Your Love could have a good a great solo track. Sabrina doesn't bring any iconic value, but the song flows well. The fact Sabrina's style is hugely inspired by early 90's Madonna give a good aesthetic moment tho. As for DWAS, the song works perfectly as a duet. It's a good example you can here for the music and the bling at same time 🥹

Don't try to distract us with that

Madonna - 'CONFESSIONS II'
One thing that makes Bizarre so great to me is how it's inspired by Eurythmics music. The synths are similar to "Sweet Dreams", the chords to "Here Comes The Rain" and the flow of chorus goes a little like "Who's That Girl"... All that ending up sounding like a pure Madonna song. 💪🏻👌🏻 Martin Garrix brings his touch without making it sounds like it's a Bebe Rexha song. Glad that she finally make music, adapting new elements to her.... Not trying to fit into music that wasn't made for her.

Where are the bodies buried?
I got something to talk about, talk about, talk about ATRL. Where are the bodies burried?

Ariana Grande - 'petal'
Ariana's vocal evolution is just so impressive. She started as a powerhouse vocalist, serving impressive belts, soul diva style... Now she sounds like a fairy. She is the proof that "louder" doesn't necessary make it "better" 👌🏻

Girls Aloud - "Girl Overboard (Alternative Mix)"
Their best song 😭👌🏻

Ariana and Ricky spotted shopping groceries together in Boca Raton
Cause maybe Ariana sees things beyond beauty standards. Something most ATRLers can't do 🥲

Madonna & Sabrina Carpenter - "Bring Your Love"
Am i the only one always have a kii when they say "i know where the bodies are burried"? 🥲

CONFESSIONS II vs MAYHEM
Hard to tell for now. The level is high in both cases. Pov : Mayhem team worked on Danceteria. 💪🏻
- Which Madonna album deserves a Part II next?

Do you think CONFESSIONS II benefited from not trying to be 'yas queen slay cunty'?
I think maybe the nostalgia effect play a part.... But for the first time in 20 years Madonna does Madonna, not Madonna singing Nicole Scherzinger demos (HC), not Madonna competing with younger artists (MDNA), not Madonna trying to be Rihanna (RH), not Madonna trying to satisfying everybody (MX)

Bizarre is definitely inspired by Eurythmics album 'Touch' 👌🏻

Madonna - 'CONFESSIONS II'
Stuart Price truly gave Madonna's her musical soul back. I swear this album is like seeing a friend again after 20 years. All the songs have Madonna's signature on them. Years after years, she developped a certain style of writting and production she kinda forgot after HC... I'm very moved. Glad she got back on track!!!

This album reminds me more of Erotica than Confessions.

I swear i was so frustrated when BYL got released. There was clearly a compression effect that kinda killed the euphoric vibe. This version sounds like fresh air. It's pure bliss.
