The "Bitch I'm Madonna" Video: First Look
The first look at Madonna's "Bitch I'm Madonna" video arrived via Wayne Coyne's Instagram.

Say what you like about Madonna, but she’s never stingy with remixes. Take the pop legend’s Rebel Heart ballad “Ghosttown.” It has a super-sized club package (12 remixes in total) boasting overhauls from A-List DJs like Armand Van Helden, Don Diablo and Roger Sanchez. There’s truly something for everyone — including a swinging, nearly six-minute long, lounge version from ever-adventurous Swedish producer RedTop.

Perhaps best known for his many Beyonce remixes (that sprawling 11-minute version of “Haunted” still gives me chills), RedTop completely deconstructs “Ghosttown” and turns it into something you might hear in a post-apocalyptic piano bar. It’s sad and depressing yet defiantly groovy. Here’s the catch. The remix was released as a TIDAL exclusive, so you’ll have to give Jay Z your coins if you want to own it. Take a listen below.
