So, one cannot purchase just the song right now, correct? That would be a new strategy for her.

^Yay. :) I've heard some say that, and others say it doesn't sound like any of Maluma's solo material, and that you can tell the M/Mirawis influence of the track.

www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/madonna-new-song-maluma-medellin-madame-x-823420/RollingStone Madonna Teams With Maluma for Sultry New ‘Madame X’ Song ‘Medellin’ Pop icon details new LP Madame X, featuring Quavo, Swae Lee, more By JON BLISTEIN Madonna unveiled a sultry and slinky new song “Medellín,” featuring Colombian singer Maluma. The track is set to appear on the pop icon’s forthcoming album, Madame X, due out June 14th. “Medellín” also finds Madonna reuniting with her longtime collaborator, the French producer Mirwais. The track is centered around a classic cha-cha-chá groove over which Madonna and Maluma trade bilingual verses while the song moves effortlessly between a sparse, understated verse and a brilliant chorus bursting with deep house euphoria. Madonna also unveiled more information about Madame X, is available to pre-order and marks her first new album since 2015’s Rebel Heart. The record features collaborations with Migos’ Quavo, Rae Sremmurd’s Swae Lee and Brazilian singer Anitta. Maluma will also appear on another cut, “Bitch I’m Loca.” In a statement, Madonna said of Madame X, “Lisbon is where my record was born. 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.” A video for “Medellín” is set to premiere next Wednesday, April 24th, during an MTV special airing at 4 p.m. ET. Along with the video premiere, Madonna will discuss Madame X with British DJ Trevor Nelson. Madonna began teasing Madame X on social media earlier this week, releasing a 90-second video that featured snippets of new music while the singer donned various costumes and explained the concept behind the LP. “Madame X is a secret agent,” she said in the video. “Traveling around the world. Changing identities. Fighting for freedom. Bringing light to dark places. She is a dancer. A professor. A head of state. A housekeeper. An equestrian. A prisoner. A student. A mother. A child. A teacher. A nun. A singer. A saint. A whore. The spy in the house of love. I’m Madame X.”

I wonder if Back That Up is the one that leaked during the Rebel Heart era.

billboard www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/8507581/madonna-maluma-medellin-single-listenMadonna and Maluma Smolder on 'Medellin' Single A serendiptious meeting backstage at the VMAs last year has born some sensual fruit for Madonna and Maluma. The pop superstar and the Colombian singer released their single, "Medellin," on Wednesday (April 17) after teasing it a day earlier with a picture in which Madonna sported an elaborate wedding dress and glittery eyepatch while seated behind the "Clandestino" singer, who wore regal red. The mid-tempo Spanglish pop track opens with Madonna doing a countdown and singing coquettishly, "I took a pill and had a dream (yo tambien)/ I went back to my 17 year/ Allowed myself to be naive (dime)/ To be someone I'd never be," as the tempo begins to pick up and Maluma steps up to sing in a raspy voice. With a skittery, electric cha-cha beat pulling up and back underneath, the pair flirt with each other, with Maluma promising to be Madonna's king if she'll be his queen, singing, "Excuse me, I know you are Madonna/ But I'm going to show you how this perro (dog) will make you fall in love." Near the end, as the sensual dance heats up, Madonna asks her partner to, "slow down papi." Back in February, both superstars surprised their fans by sharing photos of themselves together in the recording studio. "I met Madonna during the VMAs in New York," Maluma previously told Billboard. "After that, I had the opportunity to spend some time with her in Los Angeles. She was in the studio and I joined her." Madonna's 14th studio album, Madame X, will be released on June 14, according to a statement from her label, with MTV slated to premiere the "Medellin" video on April 24 during "MTV Presents Madonna Live & Exclusive: 'Medellin Video World Premiere" at 4 p.m. ET. According to the release, the singer will be joined by British DJ Trevor Nelson and fans for a live event from London in which she'll discuss the influences on the new album, with Maluma joining in from Miami and additional events taking place in New York, Milan and Sao Paulo. The 15-track album was inspired by Madonna's experience living in Lisbon, Portugal, over the past few years and feautures her singing in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Tracks include the "anthemic," "I Rise" as well as the "Jamaican dancehall vibes"-infused, Diplo-co-produced duet with Migos' Quavo, "Future" and the Mirwais-produced "Dark Ballet." The follow-up to 2015's Rebel Heart was recorded over 18 months in New York, London, Los Angeles and Portugal. "Lisbon is where my record was born," Madonna says in a statement. "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." The album title refers to a persona the singer adopted for the sessions, described as "a dancer. A professor. A head of state. A housekeeper. An equestrian. A prisoner. A student. A mother. A child. A teacher. A nun. A singer. A saint. A whore. A spy in the house of love.” Quote

People are saying that because she's a feminist she can't work with Maluma. No one complained when Shakira did a song with him.

Ever since she announced she was working with him, that's been one of the main posts on her IG and FB from fans. I honestly don't know anything about Maluma or why he's problematic, I never got around to looking into it.

She's looking like Frida Kahlo on the new album cover.

She's looking like Frida Kahlo on the new album cover. She does though... I love it. I like better than the Deluxe one. Off topic: Janet needs to release an album now as well,it would make for a perfect summer.

It's a busy song but yet its chill. I'm glad it sounds like his and hers song and not a rehash of this type of trend from past few years. Not sure how I feel about the song but I don't hate it, it's a grower with repeated listens? It didnt wow me immediately like her last lead single but I can see this ending up on my fav list when I'm inebriated.

Is in the Pop forum since it's a single. I thought only singles with a CHR/POP adds date could be moved to Pop? Rules change around here. Not exactly. I mean, there's still not an impact date for the track, but it's known (by TroublemakerOlly) that there's a radio edit of the song, which will be serviced/has been serviced to radio as he mentioned in the thread here, so this is enough to keep that thread in the CHR/Pop forum for now. In the hypothetical case that there's not any additional information towards radio in the following weeks, the thread could be moved back to the Non-Radio Singles forum.

No. 10 on iTunes; would be nice if iTunes separated "sales" from pre-orders and direct purchases of the track itself- don't see why it would be so hard to do so, 16 yeas since iTunes debuted.
