Madonna

They really don't make remixes like Peter Rauhofer anymore...

These are iconic to this day and sound absolutely MASSIVE on a proper system.
 
I wish I heard what everyone else hears in Nothing Really Matters. It sticks out to me on an amazing album as a rather generic and plodding song. I’ve never cared much for it. But even generic and plodding Madonna is better than most others.

It’s peak Madonna in that the whole package- odd rhythm, potentially self indulgent lyrics (but they're just straightforward honest), an atonal keyboard solo breakdown(what?!), a post chorus-chorus and then another post chorus-chorus with Donna and Niki coming in for a finale that recalls Rescue Me- somehow, i don't quite know how, but somehow (see above) just works.
 
It's great that we are getting all these singles released digitally, but I wish Apple Music would hire a Madonna fan who knows their shit to tidy up her page. So many singles are listed as 2022/2023 while for some they've labelled it as the original year of release. And then some are listed as albums when they are singles. And Nothing Really Matters is listed as a compilation! FFS Apple Music, sort it out.

It’s the label for the most part setting a 2022/23 release date and not changing it. And not specifically specifying that these are singles/EPs and thus leaving the platforms to go by their parameters.
 
They will all be fixed eventually. It is, for the most part, to highlight them for casual visitors to artist page as recent releases. They will be fixed into chronological order as further eps are released
Interesting cos there have been others that were dated 2022 (basically to get on Spotify release radar - a tactic Warner UK use a lot, and UMG used for The Saturdays) but then had the date changed to the proper one
