    Each song is a reflection of Madame X. Sometimes she is a freedom fighter, sometimes she is a cha cha teacher. Sometimes she is expecting love, sometimes she is feeling nostalgic about her childhood and her past. Sometimes she is thinking about all the people in the world who are suffering and do not have a voice, and who need a voice, and have a sense of responsibility about these people.Each song is a reflection of Madame X.

    You read the manifesto, right? So you know she's a secret agent. And so, she changes her identity depending on the situation, but she feels the responsibility to inspire, to help, to bring light to dark places. And she'll take on any person she needs to do that job. So she's a chameleon, yes.
    Madame X is about all that.    … Expand

    Really impressed with the album. Is different from everything that she has done. Some songs may seem a little bizzare but everything connect to each other. Great album

    This album is a poetic manifesto about the issues of our times. Madonna is teaching us to not to be afraid of being revolutionary.

    Una pieza de arte, Madonna desde hace años no hacia algo progresivo y arriesgado, eso es lo que la hacer ser única. Los sonidos tan variados hacen de este disco algo muy diferente a sus últimos 3 trabajos.

    Madame X is travelling around the world. It's a surreal journey, plenty of extraordinary sounds! The most artistic reinvention in years. Her voice is stronger than ever. The album is involved on so many levels!

    The highlights: Dark Control, God Control, Batuka, Killers Who Are Partying, I Don't Search I Find and Looking For Mercy.

    A Madonna everybody's been waiting for for 14 years.
    A perfect mix of styles and genres.
    Must-hear: Extreme Occident, I Don't Search I Find, Faz Gostoso, Crave

    Definitely one of Madonna's best, strongest and most experimental albums. The idea may sound very bizarre, but when you listen to the album you see how everything there is talking to each other. It's a risky album, unlike the current and brilliant pop. This album is one of the reasons why she is the only true queen of pop music.

    As one of the reviewers said, "Madame X" is the most experimental album of Madonna's career. And that turned out amazing!

    Madonna’s best album since Confessions on a dancefloor (2005). Including 15 tracks (5 of them were released as singles), she has made a complete experience of sounds. A work of art, but that’s not new, because she’s Madonna!

    Her best album in over a decade, or even more. Absolutely brilliant, funny, unexpected, sometimes crazy, but always amazing, stunningly produced, and once more, the Queen of Pop reinvents herself. 9/10

    Admiravelmente bizarro, engajado, multicultural, arriscado...M e sua "'f*** you' attitude"! Mais uma vez, ela se reinventa, sem qualquer receio de seguir as tendências óbvias do mainstream.

    The most incredible, inteligent and relevant álbum in years. The sound is fresh and delicious to listen at 1 to 15 music. Cultural, political and intelligent, Madame X is the vision of what will be the Pop years ahead. Madonna showing why she is the Queen of Pop.

    Innovator, captivating and well produced. Strong lyrics, well - built melodies. Madonna being creative and thinking outside context, outside of current standards and the young lady built a full job

    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.
