Pop music's reigning queen, Madonna, has once again made headlines with the announcement of her 'Madame X: Music From The Theatre Xperience' vinyl release. Robert Halvari from Notes On Vinyl states: “This move is not just a nod to the vinyl resurgence but also a testament to Madonna's commitment to offering her fans unique and collectible experiences”.
The Intimate Tour Experience
Madonna's all-theatre Madame X Tour was a departure from her usual grand stadium shows, offering fans a more intimate setting. Selling out in record time, the tour took place in smaller venues, allowing fans to connect with the star on a more personal level. This closeness was beautifully captured in 'Madame X', a concept film and soundtrack that documented the entire tour.
Vinyl Release Details
Set to hit the shelves on September 22nd, the vinyl release will be a 3-LP set, showcasing 22 live performances from various eras of Madonna's illustrious career. This includes tracks from her ninth #1 album, 'Madame X'. Two exclusive live renditions, “Crave” (featuring Swae Lee) and “Sodade”, which were absent from the original digital soundtrack, are among the highlights of this release. The recording for this vinyl took place in January 2020 in Lisbon, Portugal, a location that holds significance as it heavily influenced the 'Madame X' album.
Madame X: The Persona
The 'Madame X' tour was not just about the music; it introduced fans to Madonna's audacious new persona, Madame X. Described as a secret agent who travels the world, changes identities, and fights for freedom, Madame X is a reflection of Madonna's own multifaceted personality and her views on global issues. The soundtrack includes performances of several songs from the 'Madame X' album, such as “Dark Ballet,” “I Rise,” and “I Don’t Search I Find,” which topped charts and resonated with fans worldwide.
Legacy and Future Endeavors
With over 300 million records sold worldwide, Madonna's legacy as the best-selling female artist remains unchallenged. Her career, spanning over four decades, has seen numerous accolades, including seven Grammy Awards. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inducted her in 2008, cementing her place in music history.
This vinyl release is not just a trip down memory lane but also a glimpse into Madonna's future endeavors. As she prepares for her upcoming 'Celebration Tour', fans eagerly await what the pop icon has in store next.
Availability
The 'Madame X: Music From The Theatre Xperience' vinyl set will be available in black across all major retailers. For collectors, a special limited-edition 3LP picture disc will be available exclusively through Madonna.com, Rhino.com, and Warner Music Group D2C stores globally.
