June 26, 2019

Madonna has released a long, disturbing video for her Madame X single "God Control." As one can glean from the title, the song is an anti-gun protest track; its video depicts a violent shooting at a nightclub reminiscent of the Pulse nightclub shooting. Directed by frequent Madonna collaborator Jonas Akerlund, the 9-minute clip features Madonna as both a nightclub patron and some kind of gun control lobbyist writing an anti-gun speech. Watch the video above; note that the clip does include extreme violence and may be disturbing to some viewers.
