The 18 tracks of Madame X
There have been a few conflicting rumours about the content of the Deluxe Edition of Madame X, mainly because the bonus tracks on the second disc were never mentioned in detail by the official press releases.
With the new album now ready to hit the stores on Friday, we can confirm that the disc 2 is indeed an audio CD with three unreleased songs, and the tracklisting is the same one we first published in April.
The tracklisting of CD 2 is:
1. Funana (Ciccone/Ahmadzai) produced by Madonna and Mirwais.
2. Back That Up To The Beat (Ciccone/Hazzard/Williams), produced by Madonna, Jeff Bhasker, Mike Dean, Pharrell Williams.
3. Ciao Bella (Ciccone/Ahmadzai) produced by Madonna and Mirwais.
Madonna herself mentioned the bonus tracks in her interview with French magazine Têtu, crediting Portuguese singer of Cape Verdean descent Dino D’Santiago for helping her and introducing her to Portuguese music, also working as an interface with the musicians from Cape Verde they worked with. Madonna made Funana with Dino D’Santiago while singer Kimi Djabate from Guinea-Bissau sings on Ciao Bella.
As many spotted out already, Back That Up To The Beat is a creation of Madonna and Pharrell Williams – making his entrance in the roaster of the Madame X co-producers – together with Starrah.
The Deluxe Edition CD of Madame X is available in the hardcover edition as well as in the Deluxe Boxset of the album together with the 13 track Compact Cassette, a double poster, a temporary tattoo sheet and the 2-track 7″ picture disc with I Rise, featuring the “rainbow M” artwork on Side A and the cover artwork with I Rise (instrumental) on Side B.
