    ¿Es enserio que Maluma entra en escena en esta ecuación?, pensaba que esta mujer luchaba por el empoderamiento femenino y chuparle el dedo a este personaje con las letras no es alguien para el calibre de Madonna, me imagino que es un grito desesperado por poder figurar en la actualidad.

    "Madame X" is Madonna's most cohesive album since "Confessions..." (2005), and her most adventurous effort since "Ray of Light" (1998). It's full of bold tunes with mostly mature and political-aware lyrics, spanning a range of very diverse musical styles: reggaeton, jazz, classical, disco, Jamaican dancehall, African beats, morna and fado, Brazilian funk, house, trap and hip hop.

    We need to talk about the pink elephant in the room: Madonna's selection of singles to represent this new era of "Madame X" have been rather disappointing, let alone, kind of unnecessary (with the exception of 'Dark Ballet' and 'I Rise'), so I believe in order to enjoy the album properly is wise to skip these tracks (unless on the contrary, you happen to like it).

Nevertheless, it is good to say that the aforementioned album cuts are GLADLY not a representation of the brilliance of "Madame X", which is by far the Queen of Pop most experimental record in this decade (She sings in Portuguese for God's sake!). My expectation, to be honest, were not high after listening to the first cuts, but I'm happy to see that Madonna made again a great album and ashamed for doubting her.

    "Madame X" delivered what was promised by the diva in several interviews: a mixture of pop and Hip Hop elements with Fado and Portuguese music which make the results rather delicious and interesting. Another great thing about the record is that there is a bit of nostalgia in the album as we can find traces of Madonna previous works such as "Erotica" or "Hard Candy" with the political commentary made in "American Life" or her previous "Rebel Heart" in some of the songs, and by these I'm not entailing Madonna is repeating herself but rather the opposite: In "Madame X" there is exploration of uncharted terrain while preserving the essence and identity that made Madonna who she is today. Definitely, one of the best pop releases in 2019.    … Expand

    Colourful, thoughtful but including fun songs like the portuguese Faz Gostose together with Anita.
    Other collaborators are Maluma on the first Reggaetone Medellin or the wonder- and Soulful Vocals of Swae Lee on "Crave". Incl. an LGBT Tribute with the great "I rise", tribal Africa Chant Rytms like the great Batuka.

I'm surprised by how all the genres presented in the album seem to integrate each other in such a smooth and graceful way. Here and then some lyrics are cringy, it's got to be said, but the whole thing breaths life in and out: courage, commitment, sharing, solidity,
    experimentation, sensuality, hope, strenght.

    Madonna's album reflects this chapter in her life. She did a very interesting and well-done body of work with the musical and cultural influences of world music: Brazilian funk, reggaeton, African, and many other styles. One of her bests albums.

    The greatness of this album was a pleasant surprise, judging for the songs they released to promote it. When you listen to the album as a whole, you realize this is one of Madonna's BEST albums so far. It doesn't sound like anything else out there, it is authentic and innovative.

    This is a total Re-Invention, Madame X is very experimental and unique, and I love how it is a mix of emotion, from anger to love and desire of party.

    "Madame X" is a multicultural, musical, social and political manifesto that allows Madonna to deliver her messages expressing them in different sounds, with different languages and different heritages, all linked by the same strong purpose: to scream to the world that we are all linked by the same history.

    Madonna returned to her prime times and made a completely experimental album and surprised everyone. The album is not easy to handle but it induces you to think. Well written lyrics that reflect our current world reality, original melodies, in Madame x you find songs that you have never heard anything like it before.

    The pace plods on some mid-tempo tracks, but overall this is a personal, politically-charged mix of dark thoughts and good vibes. [Aug 2019, p.88]

    Overall, Madonna’s fourteenth album Madame X feels as if Mirwais had mostly completed a decent run-of-the-mill modern pop record, albeit with a cool hotch-potch global feel; hip nods in place to fado, dub and other micro-genres dunked amongst the trap and retro disco. But then just before sign-off, Herself went through the top-lines with a sharpie. ... None of these carefully curated flourishes feel as if they truly live inside the ‘whole’ of this music. Instead it all feels plonked on top of a template.

    Madonna has created this music for an audience of one: Herself. Often it works. Sometimes it doesn’t.
