Madame X
Madonna has returned. The singer has just released a new album, Madame X, four years after Rebel Heart, teasing clips of different women on her Instagram feed, whether the peroxide cowgirl or the S&M mistress. Because Madame X is a spy, switching identities to dupe her adversaries, loyal the chameleon trend that Madonna has led throughout her career. “Madame X is a secret agent traveling around the world, changing identities, fighting for freedom, bringing light to dark places. Madame X 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 whole, I’m a spy in the house of love, I’m Madame X,” she muses in the teaser. To launch her new album, the fourteenth in her career, inspired by her life in Lisbon, Madonna released the first single Medellín, featuring singer Maluma, Colombian singer renowned for his reggaeton. We’re already excited for her performance in the Eurovision Song Contest on May 18 in Tel Aviv.

An exceptional tour
To say Madonna has never been one to follow the crowd is a little understated. For the Madame X world tour, Madonna will host a series of small, intimate perfomances in some of the most prestigious theaters in the world. Starting on September 12, 2019, at BAM Howard Gilman Opera House in New York, she will then go on to Chicago, LA, Las Vegas, Boston, Philadelphia and finallly Lisbon, London and Paris’s own Grand Rex theater in 2020.
