Why was Madonna's Madame X so underrated and not a commercial success? The way the album was received reminded me of American Life which was one of her best albums and ahead of its time with its message and topics it dealt with. Madame X was as well one of Madonna most ambitious albums music wise , creativity wise and even the music videos. "Dark Ballet" reminded me of the "Like A Prayer" video and song. So why was Madame X overlooked? Does Madonna's age have to do with it? Is she expected to fail and go away and never do music again?

The one year anniversary of Madonna's critically acclaimed album "Madame X" happens this Sunday. It's her most politically charged album to-date. From "God Control" tackling gun control on a disco floor. Even The Lyric God and ****ography. A new democracy actually is basically the state of the US culture. To "Batuka" (where David Banda is a co writer as well) even boldly states that Donald Trump belongs in a jail cell. To "Killers" who are partying where Madonna admits she would rather take the pain and suffering of all the minorities around the world in order to let them breathe. But she does acknowledge. She knows who she is, and she knows who she's not. But she also asks the listener, do you know who you are? And what you're worth as well. To talking in Extreme Occident. How at one point she did lose sight of who she was and basically felt lost and blames no one but herself, but does state she wasn't lost and has the right to do whatever she wants. To looking for mercy. Where she's seeking forgiveness and redemption. Stating nobody taught her what was accepted and what wasn't accepted to end the album, which had become the official anthem of World Pride 2019. Madonna was picked by Stonewall themselves as the official ambassador. I RISE BECAME THE OFFICIAL PRIDE ANTHEM. Madonna's rave reviewed World Pride set was seen as a preview of her upcoming Madame X theater tour.. But the best material can't be streamed or is available in the US. A two CD, hard book, limited edition was offered outside North America and South America. Many fans agree the three songs could have easily replaced some of the tracks. She even reworked a fav Rebel heart leaked track and included it in the limited edition 2 CD set.

Madonna posted on Twitter. She's in self quarantine. And typing on a type writer named corona. She also hints at new music. Cos there's new stories to tell. Cos stories keep the world alive when hope is needed at this desperate time of need. She also hints. Madame X is very much alive and didn't die in Paris when the tour ended.
