"Medellín" on YouTube |
"Medellín" is a song by American singer Madonna and Colombian singer Maluma from Madonna's fourteenth studio album Madame X (2019). The song was produced by Madonna, Mirwais, who wrote it alongside Maluma and Edgar Barrera. It was released as the lead single from the album on April 17, 2019, by Interscope Records. The song is named after the city in Colombia, in which Maluma was born, and is a Latin pop track with elements of reggaeton and dance-pop. Lyrically, it finds Madonna and Maluma reflecting on past struggles while dreaming about a trip to Medellín.
"Medellín" received generally positive reviews from music critics, who called the song Madonna's best work in years, while noting an improvement from her previous two lead singles. They also compared the song to Madonna's previous Latin-inspired releases, particularly "La Isla Bonita" (1987). In the United States, "Medellín" failed to enter the Billboard Hot 100, but it became Madonna's 47th chart topper on the Dance Club Songs chart, extending her record as the artist with the most number ones on the chart. It also reached the top 10 in Colombia, Hungary, and Venezuela, as well as on the digital charts in Finland and Portugal.
The accompanying music video was directed by Diana Kunst and Mau Morgó, and was released in April 2019 as part of a live

Critical reception
"Medellín" was met with mostly positive reviews from
"Madge and Colombian mega-hottie Maluma's sultry, symmetrical game of cat-and-mouse is more pleasurable with every spin. Their riveting performance at April's BBMAs was the highlight of the entire night. Featured artists on Madonna records don't always work (who could possibly match her for personality?), but she confects pure ear candy with Maluma; there's genuine, easy chemistry there."
—Samuel R. Murrian from Parade, talking about "Medellín" on his list of Madonna's 100 best songs, in which it was placed at number 50[27]
For the HuffPost's Daniel Welsh, "Medellín" was an "intriguing" listen, with him praising Madonna's lyrics for showing a more vulnerable side. Welsh said that despite seemingly following "the reggaeton trend that has been dominating the charts in recent years", it was far from "Madonna chasing a hit".[20] Jeremy Helligar for Variety said "Medellín" is a "deceptively lovely opening statement that only hints at the fire raging just ahead". Helligar also praised the sexual tension between Madonna and Maluma, adimitting that the singer "sounds as inviting as she did cooing about the tropical island breeze in 1987", with the last part being a reference to "La Isla Bonita".[28] From The Guardian, Ben Beaumont-Thomas said that even though it lacks an "absolutely diamond pop chorus", the song has an "elegant, sinewy melody that twines around you rather than jabbing you into submission".[29] El Hunt from NME compared it to Madonna's 2008 single "Give It 2 Me".[30] Louise Bruton from The Irish Times praised the song's playfulness and deemed it "quirky".[31] According to Nicolas Hautman from Us Weekly, the song's "breezy and summery vibe almost make it feel like a subdued sequel to 'La Isla Bonita'".[32] While reviewing Madame X, Daniel Welsh from HuffPost opined that the song was one of the album's "party tracks tinged with sadness".[33]
Caryn Ganz from The New York Times gave a mixed review of the song and noted that "while its missteps aren't barbed enough to deflate a reverie", the song was "more like a stride in the right direction than an emphatic stomp forward".[34] On a more critical note, Pitchfork's Jillian Mapes felt "Medellín" would be a bigger hit for Maluma rather than for Madonna. Mapes explained that while it was "more sonically restrained" than some of Madonna's previous works, she still sounded like she was struggling to "find a balance between campy bangers and more mature balladry", and that it was Maluma who truly stood out, writing that "the chorus pops off into a joyous celebration because of him". Concluding her review, Mapes referred to "Medellín" as "something of a sexy, stylish middle ground" for Madonna, but criticized the line "We built a cartel just for love" for being "cringe-y".[35] Robbie Barnett from the Washington Blade, in a less favorable review, opined that "when compared to the other offerings on the album, this comes off as one of the weaker tracks".[36]

Music video
Background and development
The accompanying music video was filmed at the Quinta Nova de Assunção palace near Lisbon.[65] Madonna and her crew originally wanted to film the video at the Carmo Convent, but it did not happen as the building was under works.[66] The visual was directed by Spanish director Diana Kunst and multi-disciplinary artist Mau Morgó.[67] Madonna commented that she had seen Kunst's work first, and noted that the director was influenced by same painters and filmmakers which she was interested in, such as surrealist painters Frida Kahlo and Leonora Carrington. Madonna felt that her videos were "very painterly and I loved her color palette", as she wanted the video for "Medellín" to look like a painting.[1]
The music video was released on April 24, 2019, during a live
The looks worn by Madonna in the music video were provided by a team led by the stylist and i-D fashion editor Ib Kamara, alongside styling consultant Eyob Yohannes and stylist Miguel Cervera, while Maluma's personal stylist Julian Rios created his own looks. Madonna's long elbow-length leather gloves were made in Italy at the New York-based designer Carolina Amato's accessory house Amato, and worn by the singer as a tribute to Martha Graham, who inspired her to create the Madame X alter-ego. She also wore a custom leather eye-patch by Gregory Kara that was decorated with a red X, made of Swarovski crystals throughout various scenes in the video, as well as a floor-sweeping tan wrap dress with red-tipped kimono-sleeves by fashion brand Palomo Spain during the opening scenes.[70] In an interview with iHeartRadio's The Box, Madonna recalled that it was a "really fun video to make", explaining despite how "we worked 18 hours a day and it was freezing cold and I had to ride a horse at 6 o'clock in the morning with one eye, I had a ball".[71]
Synopsis
The music video starts off with Madonna praying in an empty church room about her struggles, as well as hope for the future of humanity. Madonna says she had seen too much, and had been kidnapped, tortured and humiliated throughout her life, but still believes in the goodness of humans. The singer also thanks God for angels surrounding her, as well as being protected by the spirit of her mother. The shots are interrupted with black and white ones of Madonna running through the woods, wearing an eye-patch with an X that accompanies a long velvet dress, until she reaches a man wearing black, who is riding a horse. While she says, "From now on, I am Madame X, and Madame X loves to dance, because you can't hit a moving target", the screen shows the words "Madame X", "Medellín" and "Maluma" in capital letters.
"Medellín" then starts playing, with Madonna conducting a cha-cha-cha class and Maluma is her chosen dance partner. More shots follow that show them in bed displaying affection, smoking and drinking champagne, as well as Madonna playfully sucking Maluma's toe. Afterwards, a massive Latin inspired feast takes place in the style of a wedding, with Madonna invading the party by stomping on a large dining table while she wears a wedding dress, a white hat and a white eye-patch that is made out of pins. As she nears the end of the table where Maluma is sat, the two engage in a kiss, but the scene cuts to scenes of Madonna running through the woods. It is interrupted with scenes of Madonna dancing at the party as Maluma watches her, and he ends up removing a garter from her thigh. He follows to dance with her and more shots of Madonna dancing around a horse are shown. At the end of the video, the two of them ride off together into the morning sun.[72]
Reception
Billboard magazine staff called the music video a "wild video" and a "cinematic clip", noting that it features a "raucous wedding celebration".[73] Lyndsey Parker from Yahoo! Music deemed the video an "artsy clip", and complimented the video's "sizzling" chemistry between Madonna and Maluma.[74] Attitude's Will Stroude called it a "captivating new visual" and "one of her most exciting in years".[75] Kate Halfpenny of The New Daily complimented its "astonishing visuals" and noted that the horse scenes featured were reminiscent of soap opera Dynasty.[76] Sandra Song from Paper called the music video a "fucked up fairy tale" and observed the array of visuals for Madonna's "larger-than-life" alter-ego in the video.[77] According to Nylon's Allison Stubblebine, the video is "drenched in absolute excess and opulence", with Madonna "lounging in a formal gown alongside a silk-pajama-wearing Maluma" and "stomping down the dining table in a veiled cowboy hat to her new husband", and calling it "one hell of a party".[78] Shakiel Mahjouri from Entertainment Tonight Canada called "Medellín" a "visually-stunning" music video in which Madonna "brings her rebellious spirit, using dance and song, into another dimension".[79]

Live performances
On April 19, 2019, it was confirmed by Billboard that Madonna and Maluma would perform "Medellín" live for the first time at the Billboard Music Awards, which would take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 1 of that year.[84] The performance featured four virtual versions of her Madame X alter ego – a secret agent, a musician, a cha-cha instructor and a bride.[85] Elements also present included a garden, rain and bursting blasts of color, provided by augmented reality, marking the first time it was used on American television.[86][87] The effects were made through volumetric capture and game engine Unreal Engine. Jamie King, Madonna's creative director, said he looked for something special for the performance and settled on the idea of augmented reality, as he wanted to explore a way to involve her Madame X personas into the performance, as well as the possibility of Madonna being able to perform with them.[85] Attendees of the awards show were able to see only through the screens inside the arena.[85]
After being introduced by Kelly Clarkson, Madonna started the performance laying beneath a virtual garden, wearing a "pirate-like getup" and an eye-patch with an X, as well as "retro pin-curled wave[d]" hair.[88][89][90] As Maluma appeared while wearing silky black button-down, the stage transformed into a patio restaurant, and they danced together on the tables as well as with the virtual versions of Madame X.[89] During the performance, the singers recreated scenes from the song's music video, including Maluma removing a garter from Madonna's thigh.[91] After the performance, the song rose by 261% in streams to 2,200,000, increasing from 596,000.[92] Andrew Unterberger from Billboard ranked it as the second best performance of the night, calling the performance "memorable" and saying it was "good to see that the pop legend certainly hasn't lost her ability to surprise and delight".[93] The performance ultimately won the Best Use of AR in Live Broadcast category at the Lumiere Awards.[94]
