Madame X

Description

Influenced creatively by living in Lisbon, Portugal over the past several years, Madame X is a collection of 15 new songs that celebrate Madonnas career-long affair with Latin music and culture as well as other global influences. Lisbon is where my record was born, Madonna says. I found my tribe there and a magical world of incredible musicians that reinforced my belief that music across the world is truly all connected and is the soul of the universe. Recorded over 18 months in Portugal, London, New York and Los Angeles, Madonna collaborated on Madame X with longtime producer Mirwais, as well as with producers Mike Dean and Diplo, among others. Singing in Portuguese, Spanish and English, highlights include Medellín, which captures the spirit of Malumas hometown, the anthemic song I Rise, the Jamaican dancehall vibes of Future featuring Quavo, as well as the sonically innovative Dark Ballet.
