Madonna‘s tackled countless points of social contention throughout her over thirty year-long career as the Queen of Pop™ – religion, racial injustice, gender inequality, sexuality, war, power, greed, corruption.
We particularly love what Bradley Stern wrote on Muumuse, but you’ll find many more articles linked below. The echo in the worldwide press is huge – and no matter if some stories don’t go much further than describing the videoclip and reporting the statement that Madonna used in a press release – and some even hurried to get statements from victims of the Pulse shooting to put everything in a bad light and call the entire thing insensitive – there are actually some articles that go deeper inside what God Control is about. Released last night, the music video directed by Jonas Åkerlund has reached more than 880,000 views on YouTube as we write this. In God Control, from her new album Madame X, she calls for a wake up call-to-action on gun violence and once again she gets right to the point. What is less common to read is that Madonna is actually using her platform as an artist – as she says in a press release – to push buttons and stretch boundaries. To say Madonna is no strange to controversy is trivial – the shock factor in her music, videos, books and live performances has often been used as a way to write click-baiting stories on the tabloid or trash her in the conservative press.
