Madonna And Sam Smith To Release A New Song Titled VULGAR… After Sam Was Criticized For ‘Satanic’ Performance Of Unholy
Madonna and Sam Smith are going to join forces for what could be the provocative hit of the summer.
The Queen of Pop, 64, and the Unholy singer, 31 — who is non-binary and uses gender-neutral pronouns — have teamed up to release a mysterious new song on June 9 titled Vulgar.
Sam’s alliance with Madonna seems to be a match made in heaven or hell depending on who’s listening, as the British hitmaker has turned some fans upside down with religious imagery.
The highly anticipated release comes nearly four months after Sam caused a “satanic” panic with their jaw-dropping performance at the February Grammys.
The Grammy-winning artist sang alongside collaborator Kim Petras and donned devil headgear in the horror film-inspired performance, infuriating conservatives like Ted Cruz with their “demonic” themes.

Song of the Summer? The Queen of Pop and the Unholy singer have teamed up to release a mysterious new song on June 9, titled Vulgar.
Many viewers took to Twitter to express their frustrations following Sam’s controversial Grammy performance, with one person tweeting, “I know on the right we’re probably overusing the word satanic, but this Sam Smith performance is literally a tribute to Satan.”
Another added: “You don’t have to be super religious to be disturbed by Sam Smith’s devil-worshiping performance.”
“That devil-worshipping performance was worthless,” wrote a third critic. And it’s been done so many times. I’m disappointed.’
The backlash didn’t deter Sam in the slightest as they continued to use religious imagery on their Gloria Tour.
But the collaboration with Madonna is a much-needed bright spot for the Stay With Me hitmaker, as they recently had to cancel the rest of their UK shows due to vocal cord issues.
Fans are in the dark after Sam suddenly canceled their concert at the AO Arena in Manchester last Wednesday after just a few songs.
The singer soon issued a statement insisting they couldn’t continue after noticing that “something was really wrong” with their voices.
Sam has now revealed that they could suffer permanent damage to their voices if they don’t get complete vocal rest.
