Madonna - 15th Album

[Lapras]

Anyway, Vulgar strikes that same set of pleasure receptors that Give It 2 Me and Bitch I’m Madonna strike.

Mother devoured this, and I have no choice but to stan.

“Give It 2 Me” and “Bitch I’m Madonna”, sweeties, I’m so sorry… nn

Madonna eats Sam up on the track. Still a shame that Sam keeps pilfering from SOPHIE’s tomb and can’t quite get it right.

I probably won’t use it much but hey if it gets Madonna on the charts for a second week in a row I’ll be a happy girl.

And for any of you ~disgusted~ f words that are missing "artistic" Madonna, feel free to throw Christine and the Queens' PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE some streams!

The best thing about this is that after that first chorus, M pulls an 'excuse me darlin' and just devours the rest of the track whole.

Whilst Popular is very much a cameo moment, this very much feels like a Madonna track featuring Sam.

 

[Sabrettes]

“Popular” is at number 21 in the UK singles chart

And I'd say it again!

Now that was camp.

I just know that this will somehow make into the tour in full with a 5 second Erotica interpolation before she does Human Nature.

31,465,299 monthly listeners on Spotify! Ranking at number 121 right now, below the Beatles! Surpassing artists like Fleetwood Mac, Jack Harlow, Snoop Dogg and Justin Timberlake! And still rising by roughly a million monthly listeners a day!

Do we know if Madonna will appear on the music video? I think she won't (what is a shame) since she's missing on the teasers that Sam posted.

Not a fan of Popular or Vulgar (neither are very good), but if it gets her name out there again and leads some of the 'kids' to her glorious back catalogue and gets her back in the groove for another album then I guess they'll have been worth it.

Ricardo said something about doing another video for her, so not sure. It's possible she filmed remotely and she'll be edited into whatever Sam did.

I really want to like Vulgar but it’s a bit crap.

 

[rav4boy]

It's so... Todrick Hall? Vom.

I totally get what you mean by this and it’s made me dislike it slightly…

Really liking Vulgar but more for the production than anything- I’m loving the sounds. Like someone said earlier though, it won’t have much longevity.
Pretty sure it’s just a fluff track that she’s not really that invested in.

 

[Noir]

There are some elements to Vulgar that I find quite enjoyable, especially in terms of production/vocal production, but overall it's more annoying than boppable. It sounds like a Drag Race contestant's single, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but in this case... it kind of is.

 

[Andy French]

I think that the decision to release this now, during what seems to be the most uncertain Pride month in quite some time, during a period in which it feels like a not insignificant amount of extremely loud and hateful people want to see us as a community cowering in fear or worse, and coming from two queer people who, particularly after the last year, have every right to be as defiant and perhaps even a bit "cringe" about it as they please, was 100% intentional, and for that reason alone I think it's an incredibly important song.

This is worded better than I can put it. It feels like such an important song and as dumb as it sounds, I feel oddly safe? with it out there. Like I am not alone, Sam and Madge have my back.

 

[bazayer]

Madame X was quite a serious record - so I'm here for Madonna releasing tracks that are just outright camp bops.

I too hear 'Eurovision' and 'Drag Race' influences in Vulgar but that's where we are right now in terms of pop culture. It's no bad thing.

 

[rav4boy]

I’m actually loving Vulgar at the moment. She’s such a strong presence on the song and, personally, I do feel like this is more authentically her. Whilst I like how she sounds on Popular, the song doesn’t really stand out to me.

 

[soratami]

I don't really get the Eurovision comparisons, I can't think of any Eurovision songs that sound like Vulgar?

 

[Friday Night]

Vulgar securing spots on Apple Music’s New Music Daily, The A List Pop, New In Pop, Future Hits, Pop Deluxe, and Strike A Pose is most pleasing to me, yes.
