Batuka

Batuka video is here



It's absolutely lovely

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I love it! 2nd favourite video of the campaign THUS far after MEDELLIN.

 

[HeLikedTurner]

Very nice video indeed!

 

[OutSynk]

The Batuka video is gorgeous. I like how it's focused on the women rather than herself.

It's OUR SONG OutSynk! I am so happy with the video treatment. It comes across as uplifting, positive and thought provoking without being exploitative.

She looks lovely in some angles and I like the fringed wig.

I'm ready for the live version.

 

[BoysForSeles]

The Batuka video is one of those rare cases where watching the video elevates the song.

Also the way she is dancing about is very Madonna of yesteryear and the kind of Madonna the public can get on board with I think not that she’d care. Almost carefree and less calculated looking.

I've already watched the Batuka video more than any of the others from this album. It's gorgeous.

What Suedey said.

The Crave video was basically shit. Medellín is the most event video and the most event song. This is better than God Control because it nails the brief and compliments the song perfectly.

The Medellin video is sooo generic and she looks grim in it.

 

[Iguana]

1. Crave
2. Medellin
3. Batuka

5. Dark Ballet
6. I Rise

I love the simplicity of the Crave video, I can watch it over and over.

I'm so pleased to have videos from her that I want to watch! And so many too.

Nice enough video but the song is such a dirge

There's a storm ahead.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

It's one of my favourite songs from the album now.

 

[lolly]

It's beautiful. Agree totally with BoysForSeles; it elevates the song, to an extent that it feels like the song and video was conceived as a whole rather than the video being an afterthought.

 

[Pipo]

I would have preferred Come Alive if she really wanted a more "grown up" single.

ott: I CANNOT believe I Rise has been elevated to official 3rd single status

 

[Jark]

I Risee is not the third official single. It just has some remixes.

I Risee is not the third official single. It just has some remixes.

The third single, "I Rise", was originally released as a promotional single on May 3, 2019.[58] The song's remixes, produced by Tracy Young, were commercially released on July 19, 2019.[59] Madonna partnered with Time Studios to create the music video for "I Rise", released on June 19, 2019. It was directed by Peter Matkiwsky and includes footage of Parkland shooting survivors, LGBTQ supporters, women's rights protesters, Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman's testimony about sexual abuse and other social justice movements.[60]The song so far peaked at number 18 on the US Dance Club Songs chart, becoming Madonna's 65th entry on the chart.[61] It also reached number 37 on the US Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart.[62]

Are you citing wikipedia as a source? Where's the bit that says it's a single?

This is playing at Pure gym now. It really is rather terrific for hyping yourself up between sets.

I hope you didn’t take the whole song as your rest period.

Just to catch my breath (just to catch my breath)*



*like Madge, I like to change a word of the original.
