Amidst the <i>Renaissance<\/i> world tour, and with her own about to kick off in just over a month, the queen of pop&#8217;s Sam Smith collab &#8220;Vulgar&#8221; feels like her way of saying &#8220;move over Beyonc\u00e9.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            No one can say she didn&#8217;t try. The ridiculous Madonna-isms are here (&#8220;Watch what you say or I&#8217;ll split your banana&#8221;) alongside maybe genuine displays of allyship (&#8220;Speak bitch, and say our fucking names&#8221;). There&#8217;s even a funny allusion to the recent TikTok-ification of pop songs: &#8220;&#8216;Vulgar&#8217; will make you dance, don&#8217;t need a chorus.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>            Smith seems to be getting the most out of their team-up. Madonna always toes the line between commentary and controversy \u2014 something they tried to do with a hellish performance at this year&#8217;s Grammys that came off lukewarm at best. But maybe Smith just doesn&#8217;t have it in them; their contributions to the track are so unremarkable that I literally forgot to mention them in the first draft of this post.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            Looking at it from both sides, this pairing of Madonna and Smith puzzles together as neatly as their corseted backs on the &#8220;Vulgar&#8221; single artwork. She gets the relevancy of a recent <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/chart-beat\/sam-smith-kim-petras-unholy-number-one-hot-100-1235160237\/\">number one hitmaker<\/a>, and they get a cosign from pop&#8217;s most reliable provocateur. So is &#8220;Vulgar&#8221; all that revolutionary? No, but it&#8217;s sure as hell better than &#8220;Unholy.&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-248386\" class=\"content_block paragraph video triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top: 56.25%;\">\n<p>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sam Smith, Madonna - VULGAR (Visualiser)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BiRvg_zuNhQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n \/\/trackYouTubeVideo('248386');\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-248387\" class=\"content_block paragraph embed triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TFI7834680816&amp;light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"482\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Walden Green<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
