Thematically, “Vulgar” explores the concept of embracing a provocative demeanor, as both Madonna and Sam Smith know something about. Sadly though, the song does not deliver a profound message nor possess the infectious catchiness that typically compels listeners to sing along. Of the two verses, Madonna’s stands out as more intriguing and playful, featuring lines such as “Boy, get down on your knees” and “So watch what you say or I’ll split your banana.” Additionally, Madonna cleverly references her musical history with the nostalgic line, “Let’s get into the groove.”The chorus consists of the Grammy-winning duo repeatedly chanting the word “Vulgar,” seemingly eschewing the conventional structure found in mainstream pop songs.
At one point, they even proclaim, “Vulgar will make you dance, don’t need a chorus.” Maybe the tune would have been better served by one. Where “Vulgar” truly shines is in its production. This collaboration was in the capable hands of in-demand hitmakers such as Ilya, Cirkut, Omer Fedi, Ryan Tedder, and Smith themselves.
The production team took bold risks with the sonic backdrop, subtly alluding to ballroom culture without being overtly explicit. They inject a dark and edgy energy into an otherwise satisfactory composition, breathing new life into the somewhat listless and toothless words. The music is more vulgar than the lyrics, and it’s ultimately what saves this cut.Currently, “Vulgar” stands alone as a standalone single, unattached to any forthcoming album, and the future of this tune remains uncertain.
