Stream it or Skip it: ‘Madame X’ on Paramount+, a visual and aural tribute to the music and mystique of Madonna
Madame X, Madonna‘s 14th studio album, debuted at the top of the Billboard charts upon its June 2019 release, and the seven-time Grammy winner supported it with a 75-date jaunt through North America and Europe that concluded in March 2020, right before the onset of COVID-19. That tour instituted a strict “no phones” policy for its audiences, so the concert film Madame X (Paramount+), based around the shows in Madonna’s ex-pat home of Lisbon, Portugal, should have immediate visual and sonic appeal for fans of the iconic performer.
