For over 30 years, Madonna has consistently used her platform to champion a number of causes – and at 60 she’s showing no signs of letting up.
The Pop queen just premiered the video for ‘God Control’ from chart-topping album ‘Madame X.’
While the song is very much a dancefloor jam, Madge drives in a politically-charged direction for its visual.
Directed by Jonas Akerlund, the cinematic clip spotlights gun violence and the singer’s belief in the need for reform.
She said of the vid:
“This is your wake up call. Gun violence disproportionately affects children, teenagers and the marginalized in our communities. Honor the victims and demand GUN CONTROL. NOW. Volunteer, stand up, donate, reach out. Wake up and insist on common-sense gun safety legislation. Innocent lives depend on it. Join me in supporting several organizations.”
Watch the video below…
The start-stop flow of the narrative is sure to be a polarizer, but kudos to Madge for continuing to commit to telling compelling stories via this medium.
yes, yes, YES!!! #WakeUp
✅ ✅ ✅ ?
This is real Art not throwaway twerking
? ??
She look like old lady trying to be young.
What the hell did they do to her face, it looks like a cheap Instagram filter.
She’s taking a stance for the good of humanity and all you took from it was how her 60 year old face looks? Smh
it’s people like you who hide behind keyboards and talk crap that need to wake up. You’re truly a sad lonely soul and I hope you eventually see the bigger picture…#WakeUP
The second video I saw today where there is a mass murder scene. #TOOMUCH
After u were singing high prasises for Cardi’s n*** mass murder video #hypocrite
im gonna go on a limb and not take their words to heart but rather it’s a lot of murder videos being put out today…I think she was saying it’s a lot and it is so give them a break at least
I applaud her for taking a stand and as usual, its the cinematic experience we’ve come to expect from Madonna. Will it make a difference? I don’t think so, but it’s not Madge’s fault…
Thats what a real music video supposed to look like..
She killed it
Yes! ✅???
I love it! Great job. Very moving.
Gun laws won’t stop Criminals. Look around you now.
Madge still obsessed with Marlene Dietrich.
The start sounds like she’s talking through her teeth.
Gun violence doesn’t kill, nor will gun control save, a million American lives every year. The issue is delicate and the right to bear arms needs to be heavily regulated, but go to the extent of banning gun ownership would strip America of one of its (last) fundamental rights, that of self protection.
The problem is NOT in having a gun.
The REAL problem is its (mis)use.
Good effort, M.
