Madonna albums from this century fall into two categories: the playing-it-safe ones, and the WTF is she thinking? ones. You might be tempted to assume the mega-weird ones are better, but nothing is ever that straightforward in the Madonna universe. Confessions on a Dance Floor was her totally safe execution of an obvious idea — why doesn’t history’s greatest disco mastermind just make a damn disco record? — but it was also brilliant. Whereas the certifiably flaky American Life was certifiably ass. That’s just one of the many reasons Madonna remains the queen of all pop queens.
Madame X is the name she says Martha Graham gave her when she acted up in dance class, and as she’s explained, “Madame X is back to her roots?
She doesn’t care. She made it with Mike Dean, her collaborator on 2015’s Rebel Heart, and Mirwais Ahmadzai, who co-produced one of her best ever <2000’s Music> as well as American Life. She throws down with Quavo, Diplo and Rae Sremmerd’s Swae Lee.
