Felipe Cárdenas Totally agree. It was as well received by her fans as it was by the critics. I miss when she made music like this. Her work in recent years has felt very soulless. Something just doesn’t resonate.
Rebel Heart is a good album... good melodies of course that’s your opinion, Ray of light is a great album but not her best, maybe for younger generation yes...
Daddy ya "Drowned World" was her most autobiographical song ever, it's a genius recording! I probably walked away if I was her after "What It Feels Like For A Girl". And left us with a better video for it, and the album version instead of that remix... Music Industry became completely demonic, and she participated in that part. It was always wicked, but after 911, it was time bolt for the door!!!
Daddy ya I always thought a lot of her tracks could've been stripped a bit more. Like Stevie Nicks, Madonna had that 80's overly produced sound, even 90's before "Bedtimes Stories" album. Like "Rain" sounded beautiful, stripped down, like this guy did for her song... ruclips.net/video/Zob_H46EqJE/видео.html
Her best album so far. Absolutelly brilliant !!! Just awesome and flawless !!! William Orbit, geniuos...!!! She looks so mature and smart those days. I learnt so much from the ROL era...!!! I do miss that Madonna very much...!!!
Ross Harb 1.how can you say Erotica is her best work when you’re not a fan 2.Ray of light forgettable... 🤣 😝 that’s the dumbest thing I ever heard all 13 songs on that album are among the best of the 90s 3. Why are you watching this video if you don’t like her or this era of her career?
In my mind, this Era was the peak & pinicle of madonna's Amazing Reign...I really wanted it to go on till 2002. Music hit could have been a soundtrack song & 'American life' could have been half an album confined with 'music' b4 CODF. Then the best of 'MDNA' could have been a 2010 album combined with 50% of HardCandy. 'REBEL HEART & Madame X' the two Great albums of the past Decade. ✅
15 years of career and she made an amazing album, lots of awards (including Grammys), and it´s something rare on pop universe. Longevity as an artist, being very creative. Amazing era
Madonna has made it clear that she don´t want to do the same album twice. As she herself has said that before. I would love to see her experiment more with her music and to not make commercial pop music. She does not need a hit single to secure her place in music history, as she is the best selling female artist with over 300 million albums sold worldwide. If she experimented with her music, even more people will see what an amazing artist she is. :)
Finally this is uploaded on her official site. I love the "Ray of Light" album. Her best album in my opinion. One of the great masterpieces of the 1990´s and also one of the best albums of all time. She took many chances with this album and it paid off in a lot of ways. :)
Holy CRAP! I remember recording this on my VHS, just having tons of video cassettes with recorded awards shows, movies, music videos, interviews with my favorite artists - But Madonna was fuckin' all OVER them tapes! Been a long time fan and was PSYCHED to get a Notification saying this was posted. Right fucking ON! 🙌✌💜🎸
I had this documentary in VHS. I've seen it like 50 times, haha.. ROL was her most interesting work combining experimental sounds and comercial success like no other.
This IS MY FAVORITE TIME FOR MADONNA!!!!!!!!! This time period was and still is AMAZING. RAY OF LIGHT WAS HER BEST!!!!!!!! Very spiritual. She’s always AHEAD of the times hence Madonna starts all the trends and everything!!!!!! When my daughter was a baby and her years as a child I used to sing “Little Star” too her every SINGLE NIGHT. I LOVE YOU MADONNA ......36 years strong.
Her best era ever, so creative and artistic and even her personality was very interesting, she also looked fantastic. I'll always look back so fondly of it, I'm glad I was old enough to enjoy the complete era (I was 16 years old in 1998), while I'm still a fan and enjoy her output I'll always miss this version of Madonna.
Thank you, thank you for sharing this bit of music history with all of us. It’s great to revisit that time. Great to see the evolution and reinvention of your work. 🙂
Dear Madonna, Your real fans are waitting for another great album like "Ray of light" or "Confessions on a dance floor". Please work again with producers as Patrick Leonard, William Orbit or Stuart Price
She did it! I never get tired of listening to this album, since the day it came out back in 1998! I listen do Frozen almost everyday! And for me the album is only complete with "Has to be".
This album is a masterpiece!! I don't wanna say that you should remember those day for your new album because you are like a pokemon, always IN EVOLUTION! LOL I just wanna say LONG LIVE THE QUEEN
I think she is there now in 2018 but she feel so much pressure, and she dont need to try fit in the new youth, its ridiculous she is more than any artist nowaday, but now is like childish, immature, and try so hard to be bad. that sad.
Gonzalo Arvietti I agree with you, I am curious what would happen if she made an album strictly for herself, without trying to stay relevant in the music world. When she simply does what she wants. I bet she can create magic.
@Zach Zach stop saying wake up. That’s annoying. Madame X is indeed made for radio- working with Malika, crave lee and Anita are purely to get streams. Especially Anita who has the artistic integrity of white bread. God control is madonnas attempt to fit in with this eras culture. That’s why it feels much less legit than erotica or like a prayer
I didn´t said that she have to repeat herself. I mean like a new era just as emotional, vanguard, cultural, deep and futuristic as ray of light one. And actually, I think madonna does repeat sometimes certains ideas.
Abraham Aghenor Polanco Ah,so you didn't mean a Ray Of Light 2.0 .Ok i'm sorry. Well,Music another great reinvention and an original album though not a good album as Ray Of Light in my opinion.Then we had 2003's American Life,but you don't seem to be a fan of it,at least seem to be.It wasn't as emotional,but it had a lot of emotional songs(Nothing Fails,Intervention,Easy Ride,Love Profusion and Mother And Father)and the amount of anger in American Life and Hollywood is very high. Futuristic? Yes. Deep?Yes. Cultural? Well,the message is pretty deep. Vanguard? It was way less successful than Ray Of Light,so obviously not.Then considering the backlash sorrounding the title track and Hollywood especially in the US... Then we had 2005's Confessions On A Dancefloor, vanguard and futuristic(though looking back to the past,to 1970's/80's Disco)but not as emotional and deep,although it has some deep and interesting lyrics,especially Isaac,Like It Or Not,Push,How High,Etc... Then we had the mediocre Hard Candy and MDNA though they had some good songs and the solid Rebel Heart.She may repeat,but always in a different way.Every album is different from each other.Girl Gone Wild may be similar to Celebration for the sound,but MDNA is completely different from Hard Candy for example.Not to mention her image,good or bad,is almost never the same.Confessions On A Dancefloor resumes in some way her dance output of the 80's,but in a different way and referencing also to disco and to other artists,with samples and paying omage. Just think about how Like A Virgin(1984),True Blue(1986)and Like A Prayer(1989)are different one from each other,or Like A Prayer from Erotica(1992)and Bedtime Stories(1994),or Ray Of Light from Music(2000)and American Life(2003).It's astonishing.Then compare it to the difference between Thriller and Bad,or Bad and Dangerous,or Dangerous and History:Past Present and Future
I know what you mean. You´re talking about an album with deep personal lyrics, with rich sound and content, a serious artistic, not pretending to be a pop star for the younger listeners, an album different from albums like Hard Candy for example. But you know, she´s recording a song with Maluma, so I guess that´s not the direction she´s going.
I think Madonna is the same talented singer/artist who can make albums as great as this one forever, but it certanly demostrates that she worked very hard and minuciosly developing this masterpiece over the years, listening great music, working with great producers, mixing up all kind of musical instruments and sounds, taking risks, having well trained her voice, reading so much about kabbalah, conceptualizing the whole project, musically and visually, Evita as a movie, Ray of light as a record, it was her highest point and then Drowned World Tour her most creative tour. Over the years she kept doing great works as Music Album, American Life and Confessions on a dance floor, her Reinvention Tour, but she began to slow donw her commitment as a creative producer . It doesn´t mean she hasn't done great things past 17 years, but making another masterpiece requires a lot of work

This was her most brilliant era. “Ray of Light” has everything that most albums nowadays don't have: soul, spirit, mystery -and talent, of course.
And Erotica!
Felipe Cárdenas Totally agree. It was as well received by her fans as it was by the critics. I miss when she made music like this. Her work in recent years has felt very soulless. Something just doesn’t resonate.
They shade! I love it
Rebel Heart is a good album... good melodies of course that’s your opinion, Ray of light is a great album but not her best, maybe for younger generation yes...
For me it’s her Dark Side Of The Moon
When mtv Was mtv 😢😢😢
ola.. assista o video com minha musica autoral em homenagem a Madonna - Dona do Pop => ruclips.net/video/ThVUmaPaq5w/видео.html
"Ray of Light" album in just 3 words = MASTERPIECE OF POP
Daniel Assumpção exactly
Is the bible of Pop
She's so lovely here. Down to earth, humble and funny.
98 was the best spiritual year
98 really was iconically spiritaul. It was all tie die, new age shops, incense, Hindu stuff, Kula shaker shamanism. God I miss these years.
Never getting bored of this album. So happy to have it in my collection.
The "skin" footage from the studio is unique!
Real Madonna Fans are here before a thousand views.
thecraftteens real Madonna fans watched this on Mtv on a TV hehehehe and now again
lol I was too young to see it on TV. ROL came out when I was 7.
thecraftteens I was 14
thecraftteens Yesss
View number 50.
Not only do I vividly remember watching this when it aired, I also remember recording it on our spiffy VCR and rewatching it quite a few times.
Yes! Me too! 😆 On my RCA vcr... seems like another lifetime
She was asked about Janet her right?
DID SHE SAY MARYA WAS BRAVE?
@@roncerod who?
i miss the 90's i really do
This album is a masterpiece. Everyone should own it.
Still remember the thrill of ''Nothing really matters''...and her look 💜👑
Daddy ya they'd trash her with ridiculous appropriation shreiks today.
Daddy ya "Drowned World" was her most autobiographical song ever, it's a genius recording! I probably walked away if I was her after "What It Feels Like For A Girl". And left us with a better video for it, and the album version instead of that remix... Music Industry became completely demonic, and she participated in that part. It was always wicked, but after 911, it was time bolt for the door!!!
mikebtko unfortunately,but at least we still have her amazing music (records...)
Daddy ya I always thought a lot of her tracks could've been stripped a bit more. Like Stevie Nicks, Madonna had that 80's overly produced sound, even 90's before "Bedtimes Stories" album. Like "Rain" sounded beautiful, stripped down, like this guy did for her song... ruclips.net/video/Zob_H46EqJE/видео.html
amen
I remember watching this live on MTV. It was great to see it again, 20 years later.
One of the most brilliant pop albums ever. Listened to the album again the other day and it sounds like it was released yesterday. Genius.
Her best album so far. Absolutelly brilliant !!! Just awesome and flawless !!! William Orbit, geniuos...!!!
She looks so mature and smart those days. I learnt so much from the ROL era...!!!
I do miss that Madonna very much...!!!
Her interviews w Kurt Loder are the best.
Drug music without drugs
Yep
THATS TRUE
@Daxton Knight Not really. "Believe" was different, Ray of Light was definitely more into mysterious psychedelic electronica
I find that true only for Madonna and Lana Del Rey's music.
And then MDNA came out - a drug music with drugs
Best album ever made
The best album in history period.
Exactly
Dark Side Of The Moon entered the chat
Amazing seeing Skin being created was the track that really caught my ear when I first heard Ray of light
I miss 1998 Madonna tbh. She seemed way more mature than nowadays
She seemed much more relaxed during the “Ray of Light” era.
@treg1980 you are completely mistaken
It wasn't an act
It was definitely the most truthful and honest thing she's ever done
She’s so messy now. She used to be all about precision and top of everything less careless.
Ross Harb
1.how can you say Erotica is her best work when you’re not a fan

I just love the "NEVER MIND" comment on the Skin renaming. Also, I love that her voice is exactly as in the album. Yes, she can sing :D
I love Madonna 😚 Queen of Pop
Finally this is uploaded on her official site. I love the "Ray of Light" album. Her best album in my opinion. One of the great masterpieces of the 1990´s and also one of the best albums of all time. She took many chances with this album and it paid off in a lot of ways. :)
one of the most sweet memories I have from that times...
I really miss this Madonna.
I WATCHED THIS A MILLION TIMES WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER, IT WAS LIKE WATCHING AN SPIRITUAL GUIDE AND INSPIRATION FOR MY ADULT SELF IN DEVELOPEMENT...LOL
This is the Madonna we all love and respect. A true trailblazer in the music and video industry.
Her greatest album. It was the era that got me hooked as a fan when she dropped it back in 98
One of her best albums period she needs another like this now
Such an icon
Ray of Light is one of my all time favorite albums.
NAME A MORE ICONIC ALBUM

Congratulations! All the best forever!
Ray of Light album 20th anniversary release.
Love Kurt Loder interviews to Madonna

It's so good to watch these 'old' documentaries and see how much we've all grown with our M...
EPIC MOMENT OF MADONNA AND EPIC MOMENT OF MTV man mtv back then was religion
Amazing woman and artist!. I love you, Madonna!
Holy CRAP!

Been a long time fan and was PSYCHED to get a Notification saying this was posted. Right fucking ON! 🙌✌💜🎸
Ray of Light & the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill are the best album of the late 90’s.
Historic Album , so many feelings on this masterpiece ...Ray Of Light forever !!!
Ayy before here thousands and millions

One of the best albums, IMO. I miss that era.
I miss recording things on VHS tapes 🥺 This album saved my life!
I had this documentary in VHS. I've seen it like 50 times, haha.. ROL was her most interesting work combining experimental sounds and comercial success like no other.
Ugh I want all the interview in good quality like this :(
The Queen Of Pop ❤
Like a prayer , Ray of light and confessions are the holy trinity of pop
So nostalgic of the 90’s
Ray of light and American life are the most personal albums in this world. Phenomenal.
American life, not just the most underrated Madonna album ever but the most underrated album of all times. Period.
@@LoveAge TRUUUUE
Also like a prayer
Este fue mi regalo de cumpleaños. Hace más de 22 años y lo sigo atesorando. Ray of light es la biblia del Pop.
*“Songs are like tattoos they represent a time in your life where you used to have those emotions” - that’s so true*

Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die, you're frozen
When your heart's not open
Thank You 😘💕❤️
I 💖 love you madonna 💅
Frozen is one of her BEST VIDEOS. I LOVE YOU MADONNA🌞
A biblical teaching of life for me. My awaking of the spiritual soul I found in myself. This album changed me and my life! Her best album to date.
This was my favorite Madonna. I miss her this way.
♥️
I remember watching this.
a big THANK YOU from Austria for this wonderful documentary !
I hope a new album like this wonderful Ray of Light!
No, it won't. Will be rubbish for teenagers
Her best era. Just brilliant. Also, her eyelids are amazing.

Her Madgesty 👑 We love U!! #BestSellingFemaleArtistOfAllTime #QueenOfPop
''Skin'' was called ''Flirtation dance'' on the paper then she erased it 👌🤓
Daddy ya I cannot imagine calling “Skin” like that. For me, it sounds like some sort of “Erotica” outtake, haha!
Lol I don't know why I found that funny
old news :-)
Felipe Cárdenas it's part of her way of expressing herself
I always found "Skin" one of the best songs of Madonna! Is really sad that it was not a single!
I think she is there now in 2018 but she feel so much pressure, and she dont need to try fit in the new youth, its ridiculous she is more than any artist nowaday, but now is like childish, immature, and try so hard to be bad. that sad.
Gonzalo Arvietti I agree with you, I am curious what would happen if she made an album strictly for herself, without trying to stay relevant in the music world. When she simply does what she wants. I bet she can create magic.
@Zach Zach stop saying wake up. That’s annoying. Madame X is indeed made for radio- working with Malika, crave lee and Anita are purely to get streams. Especially Anita who has the artistic integrity of white bread.
God control is madonnas attempt to fit in with this eras culture. That’s why it feels much less legit than erotica or like a prayer
WOW!! Simply amazing!! What a blast from the past!
She was so beautiful both inside & out back then.
madonna please do a ray of light inspired new album!!
Abraham Aghenor Polanco Except for the fact that Madonna never repeats herself (for the albums)
I didn´t said that she have to repeat herself. I mean like a new era just as emotional, vanguard, cultural, deep and futuristic as ray of light one. And actually, I think madonna does repeat sometimes certains ideas.
Abraham Aghenor Polanco Ah,so you didn't mean a Ray Of Light 2.0 .Ok i'm sorry. Well,Music another great reinvention and an original album though not a good album as Ray Of Light in my opinion.Then we had 2003's American Life,but you don't seem to be a fan of it,at least seem to be.It wasn't as emotional,but it had a lot of emotional songs(Nothing Fails,Intervention,Easy Ride,Love Profusion and Mother And Father)and the amount of anger in American Life and Hollywood is very high. Futuristic? Yes. Deep?Yes. Cultural? Well,the message is pretty deep. Vanguard? It was way less successful than Ray Of Light,so obviously not.Then considering the backlash sorrounding the title track and Hollywood especially in the US...
Then we had 2005's Confessions On A Dancefloor, vanguard and futuristic(though looking back to the past,to 1970's/80's Disco)but not as emotional and deep,although it has some deep and interesting lyrics,especially Isaac,Like It Or Not,Push,How High,Etc...
Then we had the mediocre Hard Candy and MDNA though they had some good songs and the solid Rebel Heart.She may repeat,but always in a different way.Every album is different from each other.Girl Gone Wild may be similar to Celebration for the sound,but MDNA is completely different from Hard Candy for example.Not to mention her image,good or bad,is almost never the same.Confessions On A Dancefloor resumes in some way her dance output of the 80's,but in a different way and referencing also to disco and to other artists,with samples and paying omage.

I know what you mean. You´re talking about an album with deep personal lyrics, with rich sound and content, a serious artistic, not pretending to be a pop star for the younger listeners, an album different from albums like Hard Candy for example. But you know, she´s recording a song with Maluma, so I guess that´s not the direction she´s going.
One of her best album... she's great
An interview in the desert!!! I think Madonna will never do it again...
I'm here for Madonna's Inner Light.
Best album ever 🙈💚 It totally resonates with my soul 🦋💚
I still remember watching this mtv special over and over after I recorded the whole show on my vhs tape... I feel like crying now... 😓👑👑🙌❤️😍😘
THE BEST ÁLBUM EVER!!!!
I think Madonna is the same talented singer/artist who can make albums as great as this one forever, but it certanly demostrates that she worked very hard and minuciosly developing this masterpiece over the years, listening great music, working with great producers, mixing up all kind of musical instruments and sounds, taking risks, having well trained her voice, reading so much about kabbalah, conceptualizing the whole project, musically and visually, Evita as a movie, Ray of light as a record, it was her highest point and then Drowned World Tour her most creative tour. Over the years she kept doing great works as Music Album, American Life and Confessions on a dance floor, her Reinvention Tour, but she began to slow donw her commitment as a creative producer . It doesn´t mean she hasn't done great things past 17 years, but making another masterpiece requires a lot of work
Best sound EVER! 💗
the lyrics to Frozen are so poetic and deep
You are so Mega ❤❤
Awesome 😎⭐️💐
I can listen to each song on this album ❤ my all time favorite Madonna album post 80s! Confessions on a Dance Floor is amazing too !!!
Her masterpiece.
