Madonna’s new studio album Madame X is just around the corner, and she recently dropped another music video that got us even more excited about its release.
“Crave” sees her joining forces with another one in a long series of exciting collaborators – chart-topping rapper Swae Lee.
The visually stunning video for their collaboration, directed by Nuno Xico, opens with another monologue delivered by the Queen of Pop’s alter ego Madame X.
“I am waiting for you. I have always been waiting for you. I’m attracted to danger, I crave it. Don’t we all want what we know is not good for us? What we know might break us in the end? And yet, we fly towards it, always wanting the thing we cannot have.”
Madonna and Swae Lee are later shown trading secret love notes and using carrier pigeons to deliver them to each other. The video ends with them finally reuniting and creating a spark reminiscent of Michaelangelo’s “Creation of Adam” after touching hands.
