once a decade, madonna releases a masterpiece of an album: 1980’s: like a prayer 1990’s: ray of light 2000’s: confessions on a dance floor 2010’s: rebel heart 2020’s: loading…

Hard Candy and MDNA were the first albums it sounded like she was chasing trends instead of setting them. Rebel Heart sounds fresh even today, it was a return to form

I’m not sure she was “chasing” trends with those albums as much as she was just embracing them. She didn’t act like she was chasing trends or pretend the music was anything other than what it was. In any case, the albums’ tours were certainly trendsetting. Ha.

Nice opinion Cats, accurately agree. I was really happy with MDNA and of course, specifically after I watched the DVD of the tour. Touring is our Queens bread and butter clearly, but it was a positive influence of my opinion towards the album.

Rebel Heart is an amazing album, it’s probably the Madonna album I listen to most.

The album is underrated. Because MDNA was pretty shit, people are like Madonna post 2008 is not good anymore but this is actually a great versatile pop album. Most songs are good to great. The ballads are classic Madonna. Joan Of Arc, Rebel Heart, Heartbreak city, Ghosttown are amazing, great lyrics too.

Wooden vocals and generic anonymous EDM production = both MDNA and Rebel Heart. She absorbed the styles and identities and flows of everyone else that produced this and she got lost in the mix. The fact that Taylor was immediately able to detect Avicii in track #2 speaks volumes. And the songwriting/lyrics were juvenile in an unironic way. This album just wasn’t it and the public response basically confirmed that.

every Madonna fan knows that every album is an era and is different from the rest.

I still can’t believe that people slept on Ghosttown and Living for Love, they are fantastic ❤

Favorite Madonna album since Confessions. Sonically diverse & packed with pathos. She was inspired and had so many catchy songs on this album. Bobs abound. Missing tracks: Auto-Tune Baby & Queen. It was so wild to be around Madonna and her family knowing that she had just dropped such a dope album.

This album is one of her best and most underrated for sure. Still sounds so fresh and new. Wish it got the attention it deserved :(

I'm listening it again after a while and it has aged so well!! It still sounds fresh, it has many iconic songs. I love this album.

The exceptional thing throughout Madonna's discography, and it's something that she is mainly responsible for, but not recognized for enough, is her melodic sensibility and the emotiveness of her voice. She has created or molded some absolutely beautiful melodies from the very beginning.

@ColumbiaFrancis

Жыл бұрын

Yes, I very much admire her emotiveness-- she sings with real feeling. There are some singers who have stronger voices but not as much feeling. To me Donna Summer is my idea of having both.

Rebel Heart is what happens when Madonna focuses on music and only music while making a record. She had so many other things going on while making Hard Candy and and MDNA and the albums suffered for it. But Rebel Heart was classic Madonna back on top of her game. Brilliant songwriting and sleek, forward-thinking production. I do wish she’d released more singles off of it, tho. Iconic and Holy Water absolutely deserved to be singles. And both songs are highlights on the subsequent tour. I loved this reaction video. I was thinking we might have lost you a bit after the last two album reactions. Haha.

The original version of the song Rebel Heart was so much better than this version that ended up in the album. Avicii never forgave Madonna for changing his production and discarding his work. And honestly, I understand him, his version was so good! What happened with that song is a tragedy.

Nah, the finished product was an improvement. His version is definitely more accessible for the dance floor, but it’s also a sound we’d heard plenty of times on previous Avicii productions. A bit childish of him to behave that way when it was her album to begin with 🤷🏻‍♂️

This was the album that was geared to introduce her to the “next generation” of pop music fans who might not have known her previous work. Through the song selection, she was able to show the two major sides of her personality on this album - the “rebel” and the “heart”. Definitely one of her great artistic achievements.

If there is a channel to watch reactions, especially Madonna’s, this is the one! Never disappoints!!

I am impressed, the Queen Did that . 30 years into her career. I cant think of anybody else achieving that. 30 years offcourse not a long time, But in pop culture it is light years.

I loved this album when I first heard it and still love it. It would’ve been a massive hit breaking records if she were under 50. The music industry and radio stations are ageist so they didn’t pay any attention to it as they should’ve. But critics did praise the record. And fans love it. Ironically, it’s the Super Deluxe tracks that have always been my favorites from the album. Guess there are some of us fans of those tracks so I’m glad she added them. I actually like them better than songs like Illuminati, Bitch I’m Madonna, Holy Water, SEX. So bottom line is this super deluxe album has something for everyone to like.

Holy Water is like the baby sister of Where Life Begins 😂

Actually this album was hard produced by Avicii and his team, sounds and lyrics. But then Avicii got sick and left the project, so Madonna had to make new sounds with Diplo, Mile Dean and Kanye west. Also every song leaked one year before the album came out. You can also react to some Avicii demo from Rebel heart, and those demos are pure art, trust me

I love how you go for like 6 months and then you come back all “well, where were we last week…” lmao, we're only 1 album left, i'm gonna miss these, looking forward your final ranking

Ghosttown, Hold Tight and Heartbreak City are my top 3 from this album.

I'm nervous about this one. This is one of my favorite M albums... I hope you love it..

I've been a big fan of Madonna since I was a child, the first era of hers that I followed in detail was Confessions, I was 11 years old 😃😂... I always thought it was her best era, in terms of music and performances, but then she released this album, and my opinion changed. Rebel Heart is my favorite album, right after Confessions 🥰 The vulnerability and love that she expresses in this album, the message of self-love and self-belief that she delivers, is, and always will be for me the best that she has delivered. I'm glad more people are discovering this side of her. Now get ready for Madame X!!! It's a very experimental album, but still a solid album and a good one.

Shocked that you didn’t heart Ghosttown, my favorite track along with Wash All Over Me. Great reaction Taylor. I will join patreon soon, wanna see all your tour reactions. 🎉🎉🎉

Finally Taylor, was already worried about his disappearance. Thanks for coming back!

Thank god there's new Madonna reaction album,it's been ages.

Its my favorite álbum

Your reaction to 'S.E.X.' had me dying!! I was a little iffy about how you would react to this because "Rebel Heart" is such an all over the place working; it's experimental in some ways, beautiful in other ways, and forgettable in others. To me, I've always looked at it like she was making one of those painting art things where there are balloons full of paint on a wall and she was throwing darts to expose what was inside. A little all over the place, but the gems are really, really good. I'm *very* very interested to see how you're going to do with "Madame X", which is her most unique sounding album to date.

Tragic girl and rebel heart demos are gems ..and I LOVE LOVE the leaked track “Queen”…just wow

Listen to the original versions of Rebel Heart and Wash All Over Me. I think they’re the Avicii versions. Give them a go….

One of my favorite albums of all time. MASTERPIECE

A criminally underrated album, along with MDNA and Madame X. It's unbelievable the ability that Madonna has to make every single album different and unique, it's also amazing how she has become more and more experimental as years go by. You won't find another album that sounds like Rebel Heart. I can't wait for your reaction to Madame X because that is my favorite album but also the most experimental, political and controversial of her career, even more than Erotica and American Life.

Madonna produced Hold Tight herself. And she totally changed it from the 5th demo, which is amazing. Originally it was intended to be a 2CD album Rebel + Heart but the leaks fucked up the rollout. That’s why it has these many tracks and demos

Living For Love should have been number 1. It’s killer. And I love your goofy dancing to it 😂

Rebel ❤ one of her best album ever

glad you’re back taylor

This is a great album; edited and reshuffled to a thematically tighter 14 tracks, this could have been a classic.

Rebel Heart was the album that the "internet" generation discovered Madonna; the first where covers of the songs posted online, sometimes even before the album came out. It's also some of her best writing since Ray of Light and in 20 years time, the songs from Rebel Heart will become as well known and mass performed like those of the "Great American Songbook" tradition, as has already happened with "Like a Prayer" and the songs from Ray of Light, particularly "Frozen" which has taken on a life of its own.

Bro, I have a perfect guide of reactions for you about this era: 1) Living For Love's infamous but brilliant performance at the 2015 Brit Awards (that one where Madonna falls at the stage) - 2) The Ghosttown video (very The Walking Dead vibes) - 3) And the demo versions of Rebel Heart and Wash All Over Me, the original versions made by Avicci but discarded after a leak. They are completely different (and better) than the versions that made it onto the album. 🤞

You have to listen to Madame X, but I have to warn you, you will probaly not like it, first time hearing it, I *HATED* it the first time and I almost gave up on her, but listening to it and warming up to it, it grew on me so much. It’s my top 3 favorite albums by her, it’s so intresting and artistically diverse.

holy water live is amazing!!

I enjoyed a lot this reaction. It was a revisit for me and it was great.

Give the title track another listen - it is fantastic.

Illuminati is one of my top Madonna tracks ever.

As always watching you experience the music of Madonna is so much fun. I enjoy your honest interpretation of her songs. I enjoyed this album very much and I think she was robbed of more billboard hits because ppl were over her in a big way. Living for love, Ghosttown, should have been big. Glad to see you feeling this album like you did ❤❤❤❤❤

This album still remains on my top 5 madonna albums. It’s number 5 lol

Living for love, Unapologetic bitch and Heartbreak City, all written about the same guy… apparently!! One of my favourite albums that Madonna’s released in the last 15 years. A shame it leaked and she had to change a lot of the original versions, but it’s still a very good collection of songs.

"Addicted" is amazing!

One of my favorite album of all the time !!

As a die hard MDNA fan I can honestly say that from every album there are songs I truly don't like and then those that I truly LOVE❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Always pushing boundaries. Keeping herself on the top without loosing her key musical style and staying up with the trends. That is why she is the Queen of Pop. 💚

Best Night is my favorite track from this album!

Some of the tracks have an Avicii vibe because he worked on the album. When the demos started to leak she changed up some of the tracks before the album was released. The original demos exist online.

Living for love, ghosttown, Joan of arc, body shop, messiah, Graffiti heart, devil pray.. so many classic gems

If only you could do a reaction to Rebel Heart demos they're gems.....

Great reaction. I hadn't listened to this album all the way through in a very long time, so really fun to revisit with you. (I could barely listen to MDNA all the way through even once...not sure I ever actually did) You mentioned "duality" a lot and I believe that was Madonna's intention with this album. And just the name "Rebel Heart" sums that up so perfectly.

Duality yes! Madonna original plan was to launch a 2 part album, one CD with the Rebel label (all pop catching and strong songs) and the other CD with the Heart label (all the slow/ballads and heartfelt songs). When the demos got leaked months before, the plan was sent to garbage, she was mad af.

The demos for this record were heavier on the Avicii influences and they are *spectacular*! I am digging your Madonna reactions, binging them all right now!!

Im looking forward to this guy reaction to Madonna's new back the beat up

I love this album ❤❤❤

I love Rebel Heart.

The demo for rebel heart us the best

I think the duality of the production you describe is spot on. I believe Madonna once explained that 'Rebel Heart' is also, maybe obviously, about the 'Rebel' and the 'Heart' in her. That explains why most songs have this juxtaposition of harsh beats and softer, sensitive lyrics.

Messiah is my favorite song on the Deluxe, Epic.

I really love this Rebel Heart era. Madonna had finally reimagined herself artistically with it. I remember going through the leaking songs and listening to them with anxiety and lots of expectation . Also comes to mind that Wash All Over Me had a way better beating than the one that made to the album.

Please react to The Rebel Heart Tour, its absolutely amazing

He’s alive, omg!

Really happy you were able to listen to this record. It's a very underrated album. I do feel she ultimately included far too many songs for the final release. It should have been edited down to the 11-12 strongest tracks. But overall the quality was a HUGE step up from MDNA in songwriting and production. Feel free to check out the history of the album a bit, as several tracks leaked while they were still being worked on. She ended up remixing them quite quickly so that they still felt fresh for the record's release. Some fans (including myself) prefer some of the demo versions. But what ultimately ended up on the album was still solid. The only exception to that being the original demo of "Beautiful Scars", which you can find on KZread. Give it a listen. The original demo is absolutely gorgeous.

OH YAAAAAS THIS ARRIVED can't wait to Madame X

I feel Madame X was her middle finger to mainstream pop after RH. She gave an excellent album that was neglected by the world so she decided to forego the mainstream sound and go for a completely experimental direction. The heart behind RH was that she just wanted to write good songs that could be played with just a guitar, while MX is the opposite, heavy autotune with a hybrid of cultures.
