This album was extremely underrated and vilified due to society’s response to Madonna doing things that “women shouldn’t do”. It was of course later praised for the iconic & brilliant 💎 it was and still is 😏
i can see you enjoying ray of light, music and confessions on a dance floor! madonna discography is definitely worth the listen, it's also super diverse!
Listening to this review is a reminder of why Madonna is so influential....she had this knack for transmitting really compelling musical and conceptual ideas into the mainstream.
''In This Life'' was the demo version used for the final product. Some of the songs have few minors change (Bad Girl, Bye Bye Baby) and few of them have major changed during the making (''Words'', ''Erotica'', ''Deeper and Deeper''). But for ''In this Life'', no change between the demo and the final product. After she recording her vocal, she decided to not make any changes in the demo and just recording the orchestra of Philadelphia to complete the feel of this song. ''In This Life'' was written in memory of two friends of her died of AIDS and was her most personal song of the album, with ''Secret Garden''. ''Secret Garden'' was about her own vagina. She recording her vocals of Most of the songs of this album in one take.
I grew up as a huge fan of Madonna (I was a child of the 80’s). Similarly to Bjork, she reinvented herself for each album. Ray of Light is one of my favorite albums of hers, followed closely by Confessions of a Dancefloor. Crossing my fingers that you will eventually react to those 2 albums as well.
Madonna's musical development from 1983 to 2005 is unparalleled. The albums that followed are amazing too, but personally I think they went into above standard US style releases. I agree, to really appreciate Madonna as the artist, songwriter and producer that she is a chronological examination is needed, along with an idea of the social and musical landscape of the time that she released these records.
If the 80s was Madonna at her most popular then the 90s was Madonna at her most interesting. Arguably Madonna's most artistically rich, eclectic, surprising decade with fantastic music videos throughout the years. She changed her look the most during this time. Erotica (#3) and Deeper and Deeper (#8) were top ten hits from the album. Fever is a cover. Words has the awesome layered definitions toward the end. The jazzy and poetic Secret Garden is a revelation. Did You Do It? is my least favorite track. The inclusion of that Waiting remix was pointless. It should've been replaced with Shame or any of the unreleased demos from that era. Love The Girlie Show Tour - such fun! Each of the five music videos for this album are great: Erotica (dark & sexy), Fever (trippy), Deeper and Deeper & Bad Girl (both narrative and cinematic), Rain (clean & fresh). The House remixes for Erotica, D&D, Fever, and the epic 12 minute Up Down Suite remain some of her best.
"oh man, she's horny" is the most astute analysis of "where life begins" i've come across- kudos! if you are ever curious about how the erotica era translated to the stage or the screen check out: the official music video for "bad girl" directed by david fincher in 1993, "fever" live from the girlie show down under in 1993, or "erotica" live from the confessions tour in 2006
Back in 1992 when I bought this album and I didn't really understand English I fought Where life begins is such a beautiful romantic song. Once I understood the lyrics I was sure I am going to hell! :-)
I would have rated the song Rain a 9. I love the juxtaposition of her warm vocal performance contrasts with the cool feeling of the musical production. This song was inspired by the novel Wuthering Heights by Charlotte Bronte. I love the music build up before and the spoken word part with the 2 separate spoken word tracks interweaving each other. Very beautiful and poetic song and it's my favorite song on the album.
All of her albums are different. This album has a great vibe to it. I've always liked her music and artistry and became a fan with her masterpiece album Ray of Light. Enjoyed your commentary and eaction!
Madonna is the most interesting female solo artist ever in my opinion, and my all time favourite singer. She is the best selling female solo artist of all time. Erotica is not my favourite album. Still being a musical masterpiece, It's a little bit repetitive musically and lyrically. Like A Prayer, Ray of Light, Music, Confessions On A Dance Floor, Bedtime Stories (with the Bjork written title track), True Blue - my top five Big M albums 🙂
Nice reaction, thank you! I never heard anyone saying this album was triphop though, more swing beat. Madonna was not colaborating with UK based producers/mucisians at this point and in 1992, when Erotica came out the ‘triphop’ scene was still very underground in the UK. But it is an intersting pov and it shows there was something in the air because I understand why you would call it that. Anyways, the greatest music defines or denounces genres, in my opinion. I think that Secret Garden is not so different on this album. I like to listen to the title track Erotica, Bye Bye Baby, Where all Life Begins, Waiting and Secret Garden and that is a perfect little conceptual master piece for me, where Erotica sets the tone and theme and Secret Garden concludes and combines everything, lyrically and musically❤
I see what you mean with not being trip-hop in the genre for that time, while I see some sound ideas in there that goes into trip-hop (I heard a lot of trip-hop it‘s one of my favourite genres :D) Especially with those great hip-hop beats and lo-fi string/sax samples
@@luggareviews It’s an amazing ‘genre’ where a lot of styles collide, so I do understand how Erotica could fit in there. To understand how different and ground breaking this album was for someone this big in the mainstream pop world it would be interesting for you to listen to the Like a Prayer album and hear the huge shift. It’s just not that interesting for you I think, judging on you reactions. If you would want to do more Madonna I think Ray of Light(William Orbit co-production) an American Life(Mirwais co-production) and Confessions on a Dancefloor(Stuart Price co-production) would be the most interesting to listen to. With Erotica, these albums are the most conceptional and musically cohesive and interesting and give you a good scope of Madonna’s evolution, song crafting and diversity through out her long career. I also really enjoy your Björk reactions. Maybe you can do some of your favourite triphop albums, although that wouldn’t be first-time-listening-reactions😉
Great reaction! Your reaction to, Where Life Begins, made me laugh out loud. Love your facial expressions. 😂 This is a great album! I really hope you do more Madonna. The music videos for this album are really good too! Thanks for posting! Stay safe! ✌🏻😉✌🏻
American Life has some amazing moments on it, that raises it far above the average pop album from 2003. It doesn't grab me the way Ray of Light, Music or Confessions do. I think that Mirwais' production might have been a bit much for an entire project and if some of those wonderful songs had been touched by Stuart Price or William Orbit then those tracks would have been given the room to soar that they deserved.
Madonna considers herself primarily a visual artist and there is nobody who can touch her when it comes to music videos. From Material Girl onwards her videos become stories, questions and are far away from the sales tools that the medium was originally meant to be. Erotica has some of the most beautiful pieces of film ever made along with the following videos from Bedtime Stories and I Want You from her Something To Remember compilation album.
Sanctuary and Bedtime Story, more songs are co-produced by Babyface who worked with TLC, Toni Braxton and Whitney Houston amongst others. That’s why the album is very 90’s RnB sounding. An audience pleaser after the controversy of Erotica. Madonna has been coproducing her own music since the Like a Prayer album, which she doesn’t get much credit for.🙏🏽
Okay here goes with the Production Details on Bedtime Stories: Nellee Hooper and Madonna - Survival, Inside Of Me, Forbidden Love & Bedtime Story. Madonna and Dallas Austin - Secret, Don't Stop, Sanctuary. Madonna and Dave "Jam" Hall - I'd Rather Be Your Lover, Human Nature, Love Tried To Welcome Me (A Beautiful Song BTW) and Babyface and Madonna - Take A Bow. Remixes on the LP were Sanctuary which was mixed by Nellee Hooper and Don't Stop which was mixed by Daniel Abraham. Hooper has sole production credit on Madonna's collaboration with Massive Attack I Want You, that was recorded for inclusion on the Marvin Gaye tribute album "Inner City Blues." Hooper was also meant to co-produce Madonna's Ray Of Light album but she realised that the sound she was more interested in pursuing was more inline with a tape that was sent to her record company by William Orbit.
- Colonel Sanders is the mascot/founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken/KFC. The commercials used to say Finger Lickin Good! - Can you make a fire without using wood? Wood is a euphemism for erection. You’re using your tongue not the “wood” - I’m glad you brought your raincoat - raincoat being a popular euphemism for condom or rubber. I think it’s beginning to rain meaning these some moisture going on 😂
@@helgafever768 I agree about Like A Prayer but the prefer Confessions, Music, American Life, Rebel Heart and even MDNA over Bedtime Stories. I adore half of Bedtime Stories but the other half not as much because I don’t like R & B
Yay, Madge! Do Prince's "Come", please, please,.please. I love your reactions. Your eyes widen when you read or hear something shocking, and that's funny to see. 😂
Second time I’ve seen this reaction. Enjoyed your response to deeper and deeper especially. Would love to see you react to some more Madonna. I think you would maybe like a lot of confessions on a dancefloor
i remember when Fever came out and she was on miami beach and she walked into the club " Warsaw Balloom" and i was like holy shi...! this was when miami beach was just boarded up buildings and men for men bars. before south beach was a thing only supermodel agencies bars and beautiful scenery for photos and movies.
In this life is appropriate for the album. She goes from sexual themes to themes of love and loss. Intimacy and sex is very tied into that song as it has to do with loss due to HIV/AIDS. Madonna often has themes of loneliness and loss in her work and that sets her apart from other pop artists.
Bedtime Stories is another great project that you may like , Title track (bedtime Stories) was co-written by Bjork, if not mistaken. Immaculate Collection is a Must.
It's refreshing to have someone appreciate In This Life and Secret Garden for the brilliant tracks they are. It's a shame she didn't continue with building on this intricate sound production after the accompanying book's backlash, though Bedtime Stories is still a favourite. Sadly she also focused too much on making movies instead of making more great albums in the 90s, which was her heyday creatively wise (and sans those overused post-2000 vocal effects in desperation to hit radio play in the slaughter field that Bill Clinton left of the media).
Nice reaction, good to see you were able to see beyond of what’s evident. From a musical pov, I would check “Ray of light” and “ American Life” both very unique pieces of work. Regards!
I grew to be a bigger Madonna fan with her 1998 album "Ray Of Light" - great introspective album about motherhood, spriritualism, grown wiser into her 40 birthday going new experimental electronica ways for her future music :)
Hi, I'm so glad you enjoyed this album, and if you hear the supporting tour versions they are even better. bad girl instead is my favorite video of this era . in the original version the album erotica ended with the song you did you do it which was an ironic version of waiting
This album came out at the same time of my sexual awakening. It will forever be my favorite because of the personnal stuff I went through listening to it. The daring of this album for the time it came out was never equaled.
Hey Lugga... You bring up Trip-Hop many times in your review, so I'd like to propose you review the album 'Becoming X' by Sneaker Pimps - An absolutely iconic landmark album in trip-hop, and the band's only album with original vocalist Kelli Ali, before changing line-up and sound. A great follow-up review would then be Kelli Ali's solo album 'Ghostdriver' (2020) which was a return to trip-hop via some amazing noir jazz/blues/electronic pop. Two real masterclasses in original & modern Trip-hop by one of the voices that really made the genre iconic. x
This album also came out around the same time of MJ’s allegations. They were both vilified during this time. That’s sort of what Madonna alluded to during her Michael Jackson tribute at the vnas right after his death.
Reviewing something you haven't experienced doesn't make much sense when it comes to pop music. You had to be there to believe it. Madonna was THE MOST FAMOUS FAMOUS PESON EVEN FAMOUS PEOPLE HAD SEEN! Especially in case of Madonna's music the actual Zeitgeist and the historical context makes the impact of the album. This is a really boring review.
It's odd to say someone has to exist at the time an album was released in order to enjoy or not enjoy it. If anything, it's great that Lugga is experiencing this album in the present day--and not during the hype and distraction that caused a majority of people to unfairly trash this album, resulting in lower sales of the album compared to her 4 previous albums that sold more. Lugga's reaction is honest and unbiased and it's purely based on the music and not the scandal and controversy. Madonna herself realized this too when she released her ballads compilation a few years later, saying she wants the music to be the focus. Lugga accomplished that. Lugga gets a 10 from me.
This album was extremely underrated and vilified due to society’s response to Madonna doing things that “women shouldn’t do”. It was of course later praised for the iconic & brilliant 💎 it was and still is 😏
Telling women what they shouldn‘t do and should do is always dumb
You’ll like ray of light also
i can see you enjoying ray of light, music and confessions on a dance floor! madonna discography is definitely worth the listen, it's also super diverse!
And the underrated "American Life"!
Erotica is VERY trip hop to me. Nobody ever talks about this
Listening to this review is a reminder of why Madonna is so influential....she had this knack for transmitting really compelling musical and conceptual ideas into the mainstream.
This is a masterpiece ahead of his time,a corageous and artistic work that defies the time and proves all her talent
''In This Life'' was the demo version used for the final product. Some of the songs have few minors change (Bad Girl, Bye Bye Baby) and few of them have major changed during the making (''Words'', ''Erotica'', ''Deeper and Deeper'').

My fave songs on this album is waiting and also one of my fave Madonna songs of all time.
Super excited to see you review one of my favorite Madonna albums 💗 💫
Ps. I’m cackling at your reactions to the lyrics!! Especially during the song ‘where all life begins’ 💀

It's great to see younger generations enjoying the art of Madonna.
All hail the Queen of Pop!

✌🏻😉✌🏻
Hope to see more of Madonna, would love to see you react to the “American Life” album (another underrated explorative & brilliant album)
I never really got that album, it's experimental yes, but also stiff and sloppy in some parts imho. Fans love it tho
I agree. To me ‘pathetic’ and ‘crisis of inspiration’ also comes to mind, aside from stiff and sloppy
American Life is one of my favourites too! But experimental is not very poppy and for every one❤
American Life has some amazing moments on it, that raises it far above the average pop album from 2003. It doesn't grab me the way Ray of Light, Music or Confessions do.

@@PerryCJamesUK great reply
The best album of madonna .
The music , jazz style , the saxophone, the voice .
Perfect .
This is her best album PERIOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have to see the videos for Erotica, deeper and deeper, and bad girl. Bad Girl especially.
The videos created for this album were really good. The erotica video was great. Justify my love is a great video too.

Lyrically and musically I consider this to be Madonna's masterpiece.
@@PerryCJamesUKthe single Like a Prayer puts a significant weight on the scale as it’s Madonnas crown jewel
Confessions on the dance floor is actually really good.
Never thought this album will be on your channel
Just want to reiterate what others have said: Ray of Light!! It’s my fave and so much fun to listen to with headphones on
Glad RUclips recommended me this reaction, I love Madonna. Subscribed!
Ray of Light and Confessions HER BEST ALBUMS EVER
Erotica is like a good wine, as time goes by is getting better and iconic
Erotica changed my life when I was 12 years old. Ray Of Light is the other album by Madonna that is brilliant
Like a Prayer (1989) and Bedtime Stories (1994) as well ❤

The "universal love" songs on Erotica worked really well in The Girlie Show tour 🌏
Erotica is an album about intimacy in all its forms
bad girl 10 points!!!
i remember when Fever came out and she was on miami beach and she walked into the club " Warsaw Balloom" and i was like holy shi...! this was when miami beach was just boarded up buildings and men for men bars. before south beach was a thing only supermodel agencies bars and beautiful scenery for photos and movies.
More Madonna ♥♥♥
She works with Nellee Hooper on The next album and did a song with Massive Attack called I Want You.
In this life is appropriate for the album. She goes from sexual themes to themes of love and loss. Intimacy and sex is very tied into that song as it has to do with loss due to HIV/AIDS. Madonna often has themes of loneliness and loss in her work and that sets her apart from other pop artists.
Justify my love by Madonna
Another Factoid: Rain was inspired by Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë.
Masterpiece...bold and experimental...house, hip hop, jazz and pop blended into a dark tapestry
I felt so naughty listening to this when I discovered this album in my teens
I love your review, you really analyze even the lyrics & every instruments used. Keep it up.more Madonna album review pls.
Waiting has a great remix featuring the rapper Everlast. I believe it was on one of the Rain singles.
Bedtime Stories is another great project that you may like , Title track (bedtime Stories) was co-written by Bjork, if not mistaken.
Immaculate Collection is a Must.

EROTICA, CONFESSIONS, RAY OF LIGHT, AMERICAN LIFE álbuns kick ass👍🏻❤️🏆
Dita ❤️
Oooh. Fun!😊
I’ve been madonna fan for over 35 years , this album was my favorite, i was 19 at the time , it moved me sexually 😅
Erotica/Sex was my favorite Madonna era.
MEU DEUS ESSE ÁLBUM É PERFEITO
Some of her greatest musicvideos you can find here: Erotica, Deeper And Deeper, Bad Girl, Rain :)
This album came out at the same time of my sexual awakening. It will forever be my favorite because of the personnal stuff I went through listening to it. The daring of this album for the time it came out was never equaled.

Sounds great, thanks for the rec! :)
I love that album. Love Water Baby.
Where Life Begins reminds me of Soul II a Soul - Keep on Movin
That moment in Where life Begins when you twigged!! 😆 Shame you didn’t show any of the verses in Deeper and Deeper though.
great review! please react to the girlie show tour, is the tour for this album, you will love it
This album also came out around the same time of MJ’s allegations. They were both vilified during this time. That’s sort of what Madonna alluded to during her Michael Jackson tribute at the vnas right after his death.
i recommend listening to fever video version- it sounds different to the album version. its my favourite song from this album alongside rain
Some of the sounds here are so similar to debut Björk’s . Possibly same producer Nellee Hooper . I might be wrong … but those sounds are so similar .
great reaction, you should really check out her album ray of light
if you loved Erotica you should listen to American Life. it's its cousin.
Would love to see you review Bjork Debut
I already reviewed her a couple of months ago :)
A fun record!
@@luggareviews sweet! I'll look that up. How about Pink Floyd Dark Side Of The Moon..that is an epic one
👏👏👏👏
great review and yes, Where Life Begins, is about oral sex! Can you make a fire without using wood? lol
Please react to Ray of light
bye bye baby - was meant to sound like a voicemail message
watch her videos and change for ever...
you're adorable
Smart!
😍😍😍😍
If you like Fever listen to the Edit One version or watch the video
I recommend you listen to the Erotica maxi single.
Madonna (1983) debut please
react to arkhon by zola jesus!
It's Experimental stuff
Youre so damn beautiful
Bedtimes stories is better to React to
Resumen: 😐
:)
Your so cute 😘😎
Reviewing something you haven't experienced doesn't make much sense when it comes to pop music.
You had to be there to believe it. Madonna was THE MOST FAMOUS FAMOUS PESON EVEN FAMOUS PEOPLE HAD SEEN!
Especially in case of Madonna's music the actual Zeitgeist and the historical context makes the impact of the album.
This is a really boring review.
Aight, sorry for not listening to this in the 90s
It's odd to say someone has to exist at the time an album was released in order to enjoy or not enjoy it. If anything, it's great that Lugga is experiencing this album in the present day--and not during the hype and distraction that caused a majority of people to unfairly trash this album, resulting in lower sales of the album compared to her 4 previous albums that sold more. Lugga's reaction is honest and unbiased and it's purely based on the music and not the scandal and controversy. Madonna herself realized this too when she released her ballads compilation a few years later, saying she wants the music to be the focus. Lugga accomplished that. Lugga gets a 10 from me.
