Madonna is the second person and first woman to ever receive this recognition, which is awarded to a person who changed the game for LGBTQ people around the world through their work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Influenced creatively by living in Lisbon, Portugal over the past several years, &#8216;Madame X&#8217; is a collection of 15 new songs that celebrate Madonna\u2019s career-long affair with Latin music and culture as well as other global influences. Singing in Portuguese, Spanish and English, Madonna collaborated on &#8216;Madame X&#8217; with longtime producer Mirwais, as well as with producers Mike Dean and Diplo, among others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Madame X&#8217;, from Live Nation, Interscope Records and Maverick, will come in a standard and deluxe version of the album and is now available for pre-order. Album pre-orders include a download of &#8216;Medell\u00edn&#8217;, and &#8216;I Rise&#8217;, which is available across Apple, Spotify (pre-save), Amazon and all digital service providers.
