“I wrote ‘I Rise’ as a way of giving a voice to all marginalized people who feel they don’t have the opportunity to speak their mind,” Madonna said in a statement.
May 3, 2019, 9:11 PM UTCMadonna today released the empowering ballad “I Rise,” the second track of five songs to be released before her new studio album, “Madame X,” debuts globally on June 14.
“This year is the 50th anniversary of pride and I hope this song encourages all individuals to be who they are, to speak their minds and to love themselves.” On New Year’s Eve, Madonna made a surprise appearance at New York City’s Stonewall Inn, the site of the 1969 Stonewall rebellion, which is widely considered the spark that ignited the modern-day gay rights movement.
“I stand here proudly at the place where pride began, the legendary Stonewall Inn, on the birth of a new year,” she said in a speech at the iconic West Village gay bar. “We come together tonight to celebrate 50 years of revolution, 50 years of freedom fighting, 50 years of blood, sweat, and tears. Can I get an amen?”
“Let us never forget the Stonewall riots and those who bravely stood up and said, ‘enough,’” she continued. “Our brothers and sisters before us weren’t free to celebrate like we are tonight, and we must never forget that. Stonewall has become a critical turning point in history, catapulting LGBTQ rights into public conversation, and awakening gay activism.”
