    Bold, bizarre, brazen and beguiling, Madame X is Madonna living her Latin American Life. Brilliant.

    Madame X not only amply rewards such close listening, but its daring embrace of the world outside the U.S. underscores how Madonna has been an advocate and ally for left-of-mainstream sounds and ideas throughout her career.

    While it chafes against pop-musical expectations and outright defies them at times, “Madame X” does embrace that planet-altering ideal lyrically as well as musically, making it Madonna’s most compelling album in years.

    Madame X is best, though, not when it goes all CNN on us but when it plays primarily like a musical travelogue, taking us to magical mystical places so fascinating that we might not even notice the stormclouds overhead.

    Madame X is so admirably bizarre, all you can do is stand back and watch the girl go.

    Madame X isn’t just an album (if it is that at all) – it’s an opera, or a comedy of errors. It’ll make you feel confusion, frustration, happiness and maybe joy, but it will definitely make you feel.

    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.

Madame X propõe uma viagem ao ouvinte e só estando disposto a fazê-la é que se desfruta de tudo que o álbum tem a oferecer. Desde a música latina à música oriental, da música clássica ao rap, da disco à house, do fado aos ritmos africanos... O que não se pode dizer é que o álbum é enfadonho. Muitos estão a dizer que houve excessos por parte de Madonna no uso de softwares de edição de voz, mas essa é uma das marcas do produtor Mirwais, que também trabalhou com a cantora no álbum American Life e imprimiu uma sonoridade similar. De toda forma, o álbum está impecável e ao ouvi-lo não senti vontade de pular sequer uma faixa. Expand

    Álbum sem coesão, músicas genéricas feito para tentar alcançar os charts mundiais.
