New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Madonna released "
Crave" featuring Swae Lee and co-produced with Mike Dean and Billboard. The infectious pop gem, co-written by

Influenced creatively by living in Lisbon, Portugal over the past several years,
Madame X is a collection of 15 new songs that celebrate Madonna's career-long affair with Latin music and culture as well as other global influences. Singing in Portuguese, Spanish and English,
Madonna collaborated on
Madame X with longtime producer Mirwais, as well as with producers Mike Dean and Diplo, among others.
Of "I Rise", NME says the song "is politics and positivity combined", while Rolling Stone calls the song "Uplifting" and Billboard says it is "
Powerful". NPR says, "Medellín is a carefully dosed combination of…coolly narcotic dance-pop…and energetic reggaetón" while Entertainment Weekly declares the song is "A breezy, summer-ready anthem…" The Guardian says, "Medellín is a potent reminder of Madonna's deft history of meshing genres."
Madame X from Live Nation will come in a standard and deluxe version of the album and is now available for pre-order HERE. Album pre-orders include a download of "Medellín", "I Rise" and "
Crave" and are available across Apple, Spotify (pre-save), Amazon and all DSPs. Exclusive album pre-order bundles with limited edition merchandise are now available direct from Madonna.com.
