REBEL HEART Humanized Madonna | SUPER DELUXE Album Reaction/Commentary

[@rauldaniel_]

Rebel Heart was originally intended to be a double album, featuring both dark and love songs. A lot of tracks were leaked, and they are quite interesting, with a more electronic vibe. She was really upset about the leaks 😅

[@FSportuguese]

She should have release it

[@1UpJohn]

Yes. It's sad we will never know what the album was originally going to turn out to be. The leak changed all that. I wish she didn't change course with things but I understand why she did.

[@BethThereseReacts]

@@rauldaniel_ Oooh that makes sense

[@Themitchell2386]

@@FSportuguese Her label shot down the double album idea and she had to go back and rework songs after the leaks.

[@dinholondres]

Originally planned as a two disc album, the rebel disc with the more dance songs, and the heart for the ballads. The leak just changed everything and she had to re-arrange a lot of the tracks and leave some others out of the official release. A big shame…

[@1bwash]

I hate how social media allows for easy dunks on her now. They take the progress she created for granted and then mock her for being cringe. The album is amazing.

[@greaterlordkusanali]

In an interview, Diplo commented on Madonna's work during this era: “Her song ‘Ghosttown’ was a guaranteed number one for anyone else, but she didn’t get a fair shot. With ‘Bitch I’m Madonna,’ everyone said it wouldn’t go anywhere, but I was like, ‘Screw it, this song represents you more than anything." This quote really captures the essence of that time for her. The "you're too old for this" criticism became especially loud. But Madonna wasn't interested in being boxed in or making watered-down music just to fit into the "mature" category people wanted to place her in. She didn’t set out to create another critically acclaimed album; instead, she wanted to bring together current producers and have fun with the process. In doing so, I think she may have lost me a bit with some of the material on the album. "Bitch I'm Madonna" can be seen more as an statement of this period of time. While this album isn't my favorite and have become somewhat outdated for me over time, I still admire her courage. She stuck to her guns and continued to push her music forward, staying modern and true to herself.

Then at the start of the tour she performed Ghosttown kinda account and then it just suddenly disappeared from the set list for the remainder of the tour. Some nights she performed Who's that girl in its place. Actually @BethThereseReacts you should start reacting to her tours. The Girlie Show would be great for you since you love the Erotica album so much. TGS set is built mainly around the Erotica album with some of her biggest hits sprinkled in between.

Definitely "Rebel Heart" is in my top 3 side by side with "Erotica" and "Madame X" (because I can't decide which one goes first or second or third). I loved when this album came out, I downloaded Snapchat just to watch the video premiere of "Living for love". The first listening the album didn't cause much effect on me, but eventually it grew on me. Difficult to choose favorites, but I could say they are "Inside out", "Body shop" and "Beautiful scars". It's so good to see your reactions, you definitely feel and understand what you're listening to. Amazing job, Beth.

[@janbxbe3926]

When she says „when I struck a pose, all the gay boys lost their mind“ in Veni Vidi Vici, it’s because that’s what she says in one of her most iconic songs ever: Vogue. That song was inspired by the ballroom community. The video shows gay, black men dancing with her. No one else with that level of fame did something like that back in the day. So that song had a huge impact on her connection with the gay community

[@BethThereseReacts]

In the song Holy Water also sample the single Vogue: «Ladies with an attitude, don't just stand there, let's get to it, strike a pose». Also in the song Best Night there is a reference to some lines from the chorus of the single Justify My Love.

This is Madonna's 13th studio album, 32 years after her debut album was released. By this point, Madonna was already the biggest selling female artist of all time. She had nothing left to prove and yet still made a BANGER of an album. I think heartbreakcity and messiah will grow on you.

[@ImJustinPineda]

This album I think grows and grows more as you listen. Rebel heart was supposed to be kinda two parts, rebel is one part of it and heart is another. But they kinda go back and forth a bit because to her it’s intertwined. It’s who she is as an artist. And I know you said you don’t like religion and sex mixed but live you might be a bit shocked with what she does sometimes but they are always with the best of intentions. She wants to provoke thoughts and ideas and push for change for many marginalized groups. Excited for maybe once you are done with the albums to get into her tours. It’s safe to say she literally changed the way pop stars did live shows. With her 1990 tour blonde ambition she introduced the set changes between sections of the shows with costume changes etc

[@BethThereseReacts]

@@ImJustinPineda Knowing she has a message behind that might make me feel better lol. Someone else mentioned she’s trying to draw attention to the problem of repression

[@ImJustinPineda]

@@BethThereseReacts yes exactly! Depending on which, there’s always a reason. Not too big of a spoiler but one performance at the time shocked people but it also drew attention to how many young people die in another countries to HIV due to lack of medical care.

[@NathanHautain]

Madonna has always been a very religious and spiritual person. When she was a child, she grew up in a very Christian household which explains why she has so many songs addressing God. Then in her 40s she converted to Hinduism, and then Jewish Kabbalah. Nowadays I don't really know if she still practices a religion. Also, in HeartBreakCity, she's singing about Guy Ritchie, the man she married in the year 2000 and divorced late 2008. She made a "divorce album" to follow it up in 2012 called MDNA. This album is definitely her best late-career album and has great songs on it, such as Living For Love, Devil Pray, Ghosttown, Hold Tight, Joan Of Arc, Inside Out, Messiah and the super deluxe tracks. Loved the video!

[@BethThereseReacts]

@@NathanHautain Ohh okay that makes sense. Thank you! 💃🏻♥️

[@Marc-zi5cq]

I actually think she sings about Brahim who she dated for a few years in Heartbreak City and they broke up while she was doing the album. It makes sense with the lines about fame and fortune. I also think she didnt think too much about Guy by 2015. They broke up in 2008 after all.

@@sagelovescoffee I talked about the leak at the end of this vid but i didn’t know she changed the songs! I have some choice words for album leakers 😊

I was on tumblr during this time and it was awful. The leaked versions had such a different vibe. Feels like history was changed.

Hi Beth. I listened to this SO much when it came out but haven't revisited it in years so it will be a relisten for me too. I wish we could have got the double album Avicii project Madonna intended. This album references her career more than any other with callbacks (which is why I recommended it for a later reaction). At the time it felt like it could be her final album as it has a sense of her looking back and commenting on her career and place in pop history "picked up my crown, put it back on my head". And in a sense it's also the final oart of her divorce trilogy: Hard Candy/MDNA/Rebel Heart. Her Madame X project is a huge refreshing left turn after this, and actually sounds happy again after the "divorce trauma/leaks/career insecurity years.

[@moonstone1159]

Am I the only one who likes this version of the album than the one she had originally intended? I can only take so much of the Avicci (Sp?) sound (rest his soul).

Queen is a demo that is better than everything on the album. There is loads of leaked demos around. She was super productive and creative at the time, she wrote so many songs for this album. I hope we will eventually get Queen of some rarities album or something. I love Joan Or Arc and Rebel Heart the most. Devil Pray, Living For Love, Ghosttown, Best Night, Heartbreak City...there are alot of very strong songs on this album for me and the bonus tracks are better than certain albumtracks.

[@stevenalexander403]

G'day it's Steven from Down Under again Love your genuine reactions This is seriously a highly underrated album from Madonna, sadly we live in an ageist society and I don't believe there was much radio airplay for these great pop songs. To be honest there are about five songs from this album that I enjoy listening to more than the others. ALL HAIL THE QUEEN OF POP!

[@deborahcostello515]

Generally I love this Album a lot, and think its very under rated. I agree that the bonus tracks are better than some of the ones on the base album (some songs I don't like much). Ghosttown is one of my all time favourite Madonna songs, also love Living for Love, Devil Pray, Joan of Arc, Rebel Heart, Devil Pray, Iconic, Heartbreak City, Inside Out. You must watch the music video of Ghosttown, its fantastic.

I moved from Ohio to Nevada several years ago. I had to make the drive twice. A huge drive. And I had 2 kitty cats along the way to just randomly walk all over my dashboard as I was attempting to drive through mountains. I had about 18 panic attacks. lol. This album was my life during that time. I just had it on playback the entire drive. I got pulled over by an Oklahoma state trooper, just to harass me. And he did. It was the adventure of an entire lifetime. I was one of those gay boys that lost my mind.

Loved the reaction! SOPHIE, one of Charli’s major collaborators (who she wrote So I about), co-produced Bitch I’m Madonna! And I’m pretty sure there’s a demo with only SOPHIE’s production before Diplo kind of came in and I feel like he toned it down and gave it a more mainstream feel (which I don’t love). Also I’m SO EXCITED for you to eventually react to Madame X! It’s my favorite album of hers and it’s so political and deep and culturally rich (it was deeply inspired by her relocation to Lisbon, Portugal)!

[@alexromero9221]

i feel like this is an album that you really get to enjoy 100% when you basically know all of Madonna's discography, since is a very celebratorial album and it has a LOT of self-references and even samples from her own songs from different albums in the past, i look at Rebel Heart as if Madonna said ¨here's this playlist that i made, its all different vibes and tones and lyrics but most importantly ME¨ and im ok with that.

[@Oskar-2896x]

I am convinced that the person behind making the tracklist of Rebel Heart was either high, stoned or drunk af cause ALL of bonus tracks are literally better than at least a half of the standard edition. I literally own 3 physical editions of this incredible album on CDs for that fact alone. Standard. Deluxe. Super Deluxe. Period. Beth. We love U queen 🥺😭🥰❤

Hi Beth. I listened to this SO much when it came out but haven't revisited it in years so it will be a relisten for me too. Definitely some gems in here, but also some songs I hate (S-E-X, Best Night, Bitch I'm Madonna, Body Shop). I wish we could have got the double album Avicii project Madonna intended. This album references her career more than any other with callbacks and Easter eggs (which is why I recommended it for a later reaction). At the time it felt like it could be her final album as she was 56, and it has a sense of her looking back and commenting on her career and place in pop history "picked up my crown, put it back on my head". And in a sense it's also the final part of her divorce trilogy: Hard Candy/MDNA/Rebel Heart.

So many thoughts! This is the first Madonna album where she "looks back" a little, with autobiographical songs and some others with musical callbacks. So funny you saying you hate mixing religious and sexual imagery - that's partly the backbone of Madonna's career and you'll notice it in her performances and filmclips. She likes to poke her finger at hypocrisy, repression and other aspects of organized religion, while reclaiming aspects of its spirituality. Didn't realise how noisy this album is until your reaction 🤪 I think I zero in on the beat, lyrics and melody when I listen, but the production is A LOT. Part of the reason the bonus tracks sound better in my opinion is the production wasn't fussed over as much. My first time seeing Madonna in concert was her tour for this album. Loved the show so much (particularly her performance of the title track) I went back a second night by myself. One thing you picked up on that I love about Madonna is that she tends to take on subjects like heartbreak and injustice with a real survivor's mentality. No wallowing, just a "dust yourself off and get back up" energy. Your assessment of Madonna's work lacking politics will change should you ever watch her video clips or live performances. There is a very strong visual element to her body of work. Most fans make their own Rebel Heart by culling some songs and re-ordering to their preference. Make your own 12- track album! ❤

Despite what you feel about some of the songs, you have to give it to her for being in her fifties and still being adventurous and up to date on her sound. It’s a crime against humanity that all radio refuses to play her music due to her age only, this album was grossly under appreciated by critics and her fans.
