Holy pretentia.

 

Meh, I hope she covers Madame X's Just That Type of Girl -_-

 

What excites me the most about this is how it seems to be full concept and the first album in a while where she isn’t purely looking for a hit or potentially trend chasing. MDNA and Rebel Heart were thematically too similar and disappointing.

 

I have faith in Mirwais as a producer, just hoping her vocals don’t sound too underwater robo-chipmunk.

That entire video and persona is so camp and ridiculous. Obsessed.

 

Madame X is the original international cock destroyer! (~cock destroyer~)

Absolutely agree with the above! When I heard about how her move to Portugal had inspired her new music, I was excited at the prospect of a focused and interesting album. I'm so pleased that seems to be becoming a reality.

I really love that, no matter what the charts or radio or the younger generation may suggest, it is always a really big deal when Madonna releases new music. We haven't even had the first single and literally everywhere is reporting this. Madonna is still a huge deal and pretty much the only one of her kind.

I wonder if we'll get any vocal collaborations on the album aside Maluma? I'm guessing a Nicki collaboration is off the cards now! I feel like this will be more Madonna focused but I'd still be interested in hearing a more equal or authentic collaboration. I mean, I loved Iconic and I thought Veni Vedi Vici worked really well on the last album but they still felt like a tag on rather than a joint effort and rose organically.
Madonna is not the first to conjure the image of a mysterious women with the anonymous name. The title Madame X first gained notoriety in 1884 when John Sargent painted a portrait of Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau, an American socialite living in Paris. When the final painting, A Portrait of Madame X, was displayed, the low cut of Gautreau’s dress was seen as scandalous. Parisians turned their noses up at the smut, and it only became a classic after later exhibitions in New York.

 

Since then the title Madame X has popped up repeatedly in popular culture, mostly famously as an Alexandre Bisson play about a mother whose son is taken from her after it is discovered she is having an extramarital affair. It was also the name of cryptology computer used by the US army and a glam metal band.

 

In the 21st century though, the name has been almost entirely associated with the British DJ Madam (no “e”) X, whose real name is Crissi Vassilakis. Vassilakis has become an important figure in underground dance music over the past five years, founding the influential Kaizen record label

 

It’s not clear which iteration of Madame X inspired Madonna – her publicist didn’t respond to request for comment – but Vassilakis says she was taken by Sargent’s painting and its subject: “I liked the idea of this American expat who became famous in Paris for her infidelities and scandals”.
