This week, the gay gods of music are giving, and by gods I mean Beyoncé and Madonna.Beyoncé has reimagined Madonna’s iconic “Vogue” in her single “Break My Soul (The Queens Remix)” in which she celebrates the ball culture that inspired “Vogue” and samples the song.Queen Bey calls out the houses Xtravaganza, Revlon, LaBeija, and Amazon by name. The track also reimagines Madonna’s original rap about golden era Hollywood stars and starlets as a celebration of Black artists instead.“Rosetta Tharpe, Santigold / Bessie Smith, Nina Simone / Betty Davis, Solange Knowles / Badu, Lizzo, Kelly Rowl’ / Lauryn Hill, Roberta Flack / Toni, Janet, Tierra Whack / Missy, Diana, Grace Jones / Aretha, Anita, Grace Jones / Helen Folasade Adu, Jilly from Philly, I love you, boo / Don’t just stand there, get into it / Strike a pose, there’s nothing to it / Vogue!” she sings in the new verse.Not to be outdone, Madonna has also dropped a surprise collab with Saucy Santana this week.
