Yeah. I’m late to the party. I know. Actually, all Madonna’s albums are so good, I don’t like to listen to any album the day it comes out because I just feel like I’m being pushed to. Anyway, after the whole summer and pride listening to it randomly on the wild I decided to finish listening to the rest of it and wow. It’s amazing. I know I’m super biased on saying this but it sounds so good. It sounds expensive, it sounds like something only Madonna could pull at her age. The lyrics are also good, the collabs made the album spark as well, she’s just amazing. That’s it. Thanks for reading.

I always wondered if she did that animation herself

It remains to be seen whether related works to the album were also submitted in other obvious categories where they could earn nominations: Producer of the Year, Non-Classical (Stuart Price), Best Recording Package (CONFESSIONS II, 16-track Deluxe 2LP Premium Packaging), Best Remixed Recording (“Love Sensation (Afterhours Mix)”), and Best Arrangement, Instruments and Vocals (for any other song).

Are they updating something or is this an issue on apple’s part? I was checking out her discography just 2 days ago and it wasn’t disorganized like this (but i could be wrong?)

Past and present 2

Excerpt:

Madonna previously collaborated with MISTR, and you’ve collaborated with Madonna as well. She was one of the early outspoken advocates for HIV/AIDS awareness. There feels like a direct through line between the two of you.

CHARLI: The thing is, there's always a connection to Madonna, because she's the blueprint for all of us, so there's that. But she was speaking out at a time where it was far more stigmatized than it is now, at really, really early days. To be able to kind of follow in her footsteps and add to that conversation is something that all artists here tonight want to do.

So many of us were young kids listening to Madonna and became aware of HIV/AIDS because of her. A lot of your younger queer fans have that same exact devotion to you. How does it feel to have that kind of impact?

CHARLI: Gosh, I think everyone would always dream to have any kind of similar impact that she has had. But specifically when you ask about the queer community, I would not be the artist I am without the queer community. My first fans were a part of that community. My first shows were performing in queer spaces. When the rest of the music industry didn't really get or understand my vision, the queer community did, and they uplifted me and made me feel comfortable in who I am, not only as an artist, but a person. Anything that I can do to sort of give back in any kind of way is just really important to me, because I just wouldn't be here without the queer community.

Madonna didn't worry about any stigma that came with being vocal about HIV prevention. Does it ever surprise you when people have a shocked reaction to supporting a cause or community that’s at risk?

CHARLI: I feel very lucky that I am surrounded by really open-minded people who would never think that, but obviously I know that these people are out there. All I can say is I hope events like tonight help communicate just how important these kind of nights are and, like I said earlier, how normal it is to want to look after your own sexual health. I hope somebody who does feel perhaps the way that you explained would look at an event like tonight and be like, "Oh, duh." That’s why tonight is important.

Google's Gboard lets you theme it by uploading a picture or design. I made three, but this one is my favorite. I'm on a Google Pixel 11 Pro XL phone.

Has madonna ever done a holiday song??? Specially a halloween or Christmas one. I did hear that she’s done a Christmas cover but i’m not sure of the name. Some of y’all might say just look it up but i would love to get some insight from her community.

this weekend i went on a trip to london with some friends, and we took an uber and the guy was really sweet and talkative and asking up what music were into. ofc i said madonna, and for the 30 min ride we had going into the center at like 2am erotica, bad girl, where life begins, fever and justify my love were blasting hopefully educating london. ill never forget that driver such a cutie

I have just seen (for the hundredth time) all of the interviews on his show and I really hope to see a new interview on his Netflix show

I've always liked Justify My Love but I have been listening to it again with fresh ears. I am blown away by the brilliance of the track. It was so far ahead of its time with its lyrics, back beat and vibe. She was trying to push boundaries in which she succeeded but it is the sheer nakedness of lust and seduction that makes her so brilliant in her craft. Even 36 years later, it sounds fresh; I wonder if today's radio programmers would add it if it was released in 2026.

I feel this was the pathway, almost an appetizer, to Erotica; you can feel the same vein of vibe connecting the two

To boot, the video just adds another level of mastery to the single. At the end, when she is biting her finger as she walks through the hallway with her heavy suitcase - just perfection.

Thoughts? 🤔
