'I Rise' is the first of four promo songs released ahead of Madame X. It's been described as a "ballad" and a "pride anthem".
Out tomorrow but available in New Zealand already. You can hear a clip here:
If I'm honest it's not doing much for me. It's just kind of 'okay'. For what's supposed to be an uplifting message, it's just a bit flat. Not really seeing how its lyrics are specific to the LGBTQ community either, it's a pretty generic message.
It is very instant unlike Medellin . Very mirwais.
Good choice for a promo single. I like it a lot but it’s not medellin and I hope it’s not being released so Medellin is forgotten about because I love it .
Ninth on New Music Friday. I like it a lot more in full, still not essential listening but I can see it growing a fair bit, especially in the context of the album.
Her voice sounds dreadful like a little girl. It’s a better track than medellin but I still won’t be buying the album.
Number 86 on iTunes this morning .
Does not compare to medellin but it is just a grat.
On the tour this will be epic.
Got a simple promo video to go with it:

I like the pre-chorus parts the most!
It's nice. I'm still waiting for that real "wow" moment from this era though.
I don't hate this, but I don't love it either.
I'm sure the album will have some absolute gems, but neither of the 2 she's released so far have impressed me massively.
Do we think this is the song for eurovision?
There's rumours that it is but it's all a bit up in the air at the moment, there's three songs in contention but nothing official yet.
It's fine.
I'm just glad the mastering is not an issue anymore.
#29 UK
Find myself returning to this a fair bit now actually, really starting to grow. Doesn't sound like a single but I think it will work really nicely as an album closer - if she explores some deeper themes throughout the album then this would complete the journey on something that's uplifting and easy.
I Rise is also 83 in UK .
Two versions in top 100.

Could this outpeak Medellin because it's had a Friday release?
Let's move on from the personal stuff please - ironically goes against the message of this song!
This is cute! Nothing groundbreaking but after Medellin was a bit more left field, this is nice as a calmer moment. It kind of feels a tad dated but it's cute and easily accessible.
I must admit I got bored of this quite quickly .
The chorus let down the song ,
It is repeated too many times ...
Just made the UK Sales Top 40, entering at #40.
👍🏻
Been remixed by Tracy Young:
Video for 'I Rise' on Time Magazine's site: https://time.com/5608577/madonna-i-rise-video/
She has released the teaser on Facebook . It’s good.
In the context of the album and as its closer, this has significantly grown on me!
^I agree! It was my least favourite of the pre-release songs but I really like it now. It's strong in its own right now as well as being a great, uplifting closer. The TIME music video definitely elevated it for me.

It’s not for me
Yeah, doesn't really do it for me either. It's a pretty generic production, not really any consideration for the emotion of the song.
Tracy Young remix package uploaded to Spotify:
The second remix package is out.
Not feeling any of them .
Here are the new mixes:
Madonna Earns 48th No. 1 on Dance Club Songs Chart With 'I Rise'
"It is always an honor to work with Madonna," remixer Tracy Young tells Billboard.
Madonna earns her record-extending 48th No. 1 on Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart (dated Aug. 31), as "I Rise" ascends 2-1.
The chart, and all rankings dated Aug. 31, will refresh on Billboard.com on Tuesday, Aug. 27.
With 48 toppers on Dance Club Songs, which measures reports submitted by a national sample of club DJs and which launched as a national survey in the Billboard issue dated Aug. 28, 1976, Madonna outpaces runner-up Rihanna (33 No. 1s), while Beyoncé and Janet Jackson follow with 22 and 20, respectively.
"Rise" is the second leader from Madonna's album Madame X, following "Medellín" with Maluma. The song led the June 29-dated Dance Club Songs chart, while Madame X launched as Madonna's ninth No. 1 on the Billboard 200 the same week.

More remixes on the way!
http://news.madonnatribe.com/en/2019/eight-new-promo-remixes-for-i-rise/:
Wow they really thought this was going to be some kind of anthem . I liked this initially and now it grates.
It's already hit No. 1 on Dance Club Songs Chart, how many remixes are they doing?
'I Rise' is due to be released on vinyl!
Imagine giving this much promo to a lead single ~
Why are they pushing this out of all the songs.
I will buy it tho 🙈
I really don't know what demand there is for this. As Bal pointed out, the record company already have the Billboard Club Play #1 if that's what they were aiming for. They advertised this as some sort of "anthem for the gay community" but the reaction to the song really hasn't really matched their expectations. 'God Control' or 'I Don't Search, I Find' would be much more suitable, either that or start giving a proper push for 'Crave'.
I Don’t Search I Find has such potential for remixers! I really hope we get a bundle for that.
I Rise is my 3rd least fav on the album.
They obviously thought it would be a lot bigger.
Some amazing videos this era but not for the commercial songs.
Where are the god control remixes ?
I have really grown to like I Rise especially as an album closer after the experience of listening to Madame X, but it needs to remain an album closer. A huge anthem worthy of this pushing it is not I'm afraid.
I don't get the general consensus that I Rise isn't that good!
For me it was extremely instant moreso than Medellin on first listen and sits in my top 3 from Madame X. I think it's stunning!
Link to the release on the Record Store Day site here: https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/11766
4,000 copies available.
Also, as Juan Carlos revealed in the Madame X thread, this has been sent to Italian radio as the third single. Hopefully this can be sent to UK radio too, I mean there's a handful of other songs I'd rather were pushed as a single but I just want something!
Cone on Radio 2! Wishful thinking though ~
I want the Vinyl
Tracy Young has been nominated for Best Remixed Recording at the Grammy's for her 'I Rise' Pride Intro Radio Remix.
Random, but go off *.*
Reminder that 'I Rise' is available on vinyl as part of Black Friday: https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/11766
Grammy winner
Not that fussed by the remix itself but congrats to Tracy Young, a great achievement for her.
She was interviewed by CBS a couple of days ago regarding the nomination:
Yikes at that mom dancing though...
