Sam Smith is a multi-award-winning, multi-platinum-selling singer, songwriter and lightning rod for provocation. Madonna, the best-selling female artist of all time, continues to push boundaries and transform culture. Together, they are S&M. Together, they are VULGAR. After winning their fifth GRAMMY Award they flew to a Los Angeles studio to record a fierce, unapologetic duet. Madonna heartfelt speech said:
Are you ready for some controversy? If they call you shocking, scandalous, troublesome, problematic, provocative or dangerous, you're definitely onto something.
A fearless, bold anthem, this track honors every word of Madonna’s speech. It’s the celebratory sound of two artists conjoining in abandon, a meeting of wild minds, hooks and aesthetics, punctuated by an Eastern string break and bolstered by earth-shattering bass. It is a two-and-a-half minute slap-back to repression and a demand for respect. Released today by Capitol Records, the single was produced by ILYA for MXM Productions, Cirkut, Omer Fedi, Ryan Tedder, Jimmy Napes, Sam and Lauren D’elia, Madonna’s vocal producer and engineer. Look out for Sam on the North American GLORIA The Tour on July 25 and Madonna kicking off her highly anticipated global Celebration Tour in July.
