From what we know, the queen of pop kept her fans waiting for I’m quite some time.
The singer, who appeared an hour late, played a prolonged set which fused tracks from her current album with classic hits from her back catalog at the BAM Howard Gilman Opera House in Brooklyn.
All fans were asked to shut their phones in an airtight container prior to the show to avoid them filming the gig.
Of the hits, Madonna executed ‘Vogue’, ‘La Isla Bonita’, ‘Frozen’, ‘American Life’ and ‘Like A Prayer’. She came to an end with the recent single ‘I Rise’.
Two of the first 3 dates at Brooklyn’s BAM Howard Gilman Opera House — initially planned for September 12 and 14 — were stridden back to October 10 and 12. A distant show on September 15 was rescinded.
In addition, the US dates as well, Madonna is expected to sing 15-night residency at the iconic London Palladium in February 2020.
In a four-star survey of ‘Madame X’, NME’s El Hunt interpreted the record as “bold, bizarre, self-referential and something entirely different from Madonna has ever done before”.
For the first time since ‘Confessions on a Dance Floor’, possibly, there’s a twinkle in Madonna’s eye; her apparent, we mean, un-eyepatched one, at least. Sonically restless, ‘Madame X’ doesn’t copy or even go by the current pop trends as much as it fiddles them into new shapes,” NME verdict stated.
“A record that grasps with prevailing ‘just way too much’, ultimately, it refuses to tone things down.”

‘Dark Ballet’
‘Human Nature’
‘Vogue’
‘I Don’t Search I Find’
