Today marks Madonna’s birthday, and after last year’s brush with death, every Madonna birthday should be something to celebrate. She’s been relatively quiet of late, having finished off her Celebration World Tour with a stunning finale in Rio, and earning some necessary down time. Her last studio album was 2019’s ‘Madame X’ – and the dance collection ‘Finally Enough Love‘ in the summer of 2022. She hasn’t been entirely quiet, having been part of sleeper hits like ‘Popular‘ and under-appreciated bangers like ‘Vulgar‘, but there has been a slowing of new music. If you think of the time between ‘Madame X‘ and now – about five years – it’s the same length of time in which ‘Like A Prayer‘, ‘I’m Breathless‘, ‘The Immaculate Collection‘, ‘Erotica‘ and ‘Bedtime Stories‘ were released. Music plays differently these days I suppose, and we’re all just getting older.
Happy Birthday, M. It’s such a good month for it.
