    Time to change gears and go to "Ray of Light" or "Erotica". Both are completely different from other Madonna albums and also completely different from each other as well. Erotica is an album for adult listeners, with controversial lyrics about sex, romance, relationships, social issues, and the sound is early 90's trip-hop, hip-hop and deep-house oriented. Ray of Light on the other hand is an emotional journey through an espiritual awakening, with lyrics about fame, motherhood, death, religion, and spiritual life, and it's very electronic music, pure electronica, but very emotional, intimate, soulful and touching, and with a lot of ethnic sounds and feels from India and the Middle East.

    When the song Music broke in 2000 there was NOTHING LIKE IT on the radio. The sounds were so fresh. Mirwais' glitchy electronics on Music and Don't Tell Me were revolutionary.
    In fact, with every album she released, Madonna was AHEAD of the curve and a TRENDSETTER in music for 25 YEARS! (1983-2008) until she released Hard Candy and suddenly fell behind.

    I've always had this theory that Madonna enjoyed the success with the "Ray of Light" album, withdrew to the distant countryside, learned to play guitar, and then returned, blending acoustic and country elements with electronic music to create "Music," an album that is quite forgotten by Madonna's fans but personally it's one of my favorites.

    Confessions (2005),
    American Life (2003),
    Music (2000),
    in reverse order.
    It makes sense to continue backwards through her discography...
    Ray of Light (1998 electronica),
    Something to Remember (1995 ballads compilation),
    Bedtime Stories (1994 RnB),
    Erotica (1992 Deep House/Hip Hop),
    I'm Breathless (1990 jazzy/musical 1930s style concept album),
    Like a Prayer (1989 autobiographical masterpiece),
    True Blue (1986 pop),
    Like a Virgin (1984 bubblegum pop),
    Madonna (debut 1983 dance pop).

      ​​Madame X would be a strange one to start a Madonna journey on as it's probably her most divisive album. Even though I rate it as her Magnum Opus. The risk would be too great that she might not continue with other albums. I'm not mad that she chose Confessions as her gateway album.

    Music is work of GENIUS!!! And this is exactly what Madonna excels at: introducing something new, a surprise effect-every time. You have to look at her music from the perspective of the time when it was released. It was a completely new thing, with new sounds and a mix of different instruments. It involved a lot of experimenting and creating new sounds for future generations. Without Madonna, nothing would be the same today. She paved the way and opened so many doors for everyone who followed.
    In my opinion, this album, along with Ray of Light and American Life, are her three best albums-not only in her repertoire but also in music history as some of the very best.
    Please do Ray of Light next -> in my opinion unbeatable - The best of the best!!!!

    Thank you again for reacting to Madonna! As written before she's my favorite artist and you're one of my favorite reactors, so this is a perfect match. Lenghty comment ahead.
    You mentioned Mirwais a lot in this video however he isn't the only person that produced the album. After the Ray of Light sessions, Madonna reunited with William Orbit, who produced most of it as well as some soundtrack songs with her afterwards, to do Music with her. However she felt that the stuff made with him was more of the same so she either kept the more dance-y tracks (Runaway Lover and Amazing), reworked them (Gone was reworked by Mark Stent who also reworked X-Static Process on American Life, and Mysore Style was reworked into Cyber-Raga, a japanese bonus track), or scrapped them (Arioso, La Petite Jeune Fille, Like an Angel Passing Through My Room, Liquid Love, Run; all very good tracks that leaked but Madonna doesn't like to repeat herself).
    She then met Mirwais who worked on the other tracks: Music, Impressive Instant, I Deserve It, Nobody's Perfect, Don't Tell Me, and Paradise. Hollywood and Intervention from American Life were intially written during the Music sessions as well. She also met Guy Sigsworth who did What It Feels Like for a Girl.
    If you disliked the vocoder in Nobody's Perfect, you might dislike Madame X, her last album, which was produced in part by Mirwais. It's full of that vocoder effect, although the lyrics are more similar in style to American Life, more serious and political in its content, dealing with world issues. But you seemed to like the three William Orbit tracks in this reaction, which means that you might like Ray of Light, my favorite album, which is more "spiritual heavy".
    I hope that you will check her videos as well, which are an integral part of her artistic work. Seeing you watching the Britney videos for the first time was really great, and if you liked her videos, you will definitely like Madonna's videography. The American Life era has some of her best videos.

By the way, loving your Madonna reactions.Your ‘American Life’ reaction is the best one on RUclips by far!!! ‘Music’, whilst having some great moments always felt a little disjointed to me.

What Vogue was for 90s Madonna, Music became for 00s Madonna: the ultimate, career & decade-defining dance hit. So many great live versions of both songs as fans expect to hear them at her concerts.

Gone, Nobody's Perfect and Paradise Not for Me are goosebump moments, so beautiful - check out her live performance of "Paradise..." from the Confessions tour, it's even better, even more goosebumps. Amazing, which I can listen to over and over, and I find its sound transcends Madonna's albums and could easily be found on Ray of Light or American Life, yet it feels different. The Above & Beyond/Oakenfold remix of What it Feels Like for a Girl is another tune can't sit still to. For me, Madonna's magic is partly in the mix of acoustic guitars, EDM and orchestra.

    Madonna did a beautiful live version of Paradise (Not for Me) in one of her tours (reinvention?) that showed just how beautiful the harmonies are in that song… and Gone is just so gorgeous, a little sad, but raw and real. So underrated. I think with further listens, when you know what to expect, you’ll get used to the production of some of the more chaotic songs, like Impressive Instant, which are such bops. I absolutely love that one too. The only really clunker on her is I Deserve It. Guy Richie even f’ed up her music. Lol

    I loved this album and bought all the CD singles (back when you had to do that) for all the remixes I could find lol. I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm remembering that the video for What It Feels Like For a Girl (which used the Above & Beyond remix of the song) was banned from airing on MTV.

    First of all, amazing reaction! I like how sincere your opinions are. Anyway, I feel like Mirwais' production is very easy to get an "overdosis" from, especially when you listen to two albums in a row, it can sound too repetitive or too intense as his style is based on autotune, heavy mixing and bizarre combinations. These features are very unique for sure, but for us regular, distant from electronic listeners, it can be too much if we are not in the mood. With that being said, if you plan to move on with her discography chronologically, you will definitely be surprised with what she's got in store, as Ray of Light is not only one of her best albums, but also one of the best records ever made according to multiple critics, reviews and listeners. There you will find very personal lyrics, transcending sounds and her best vocals in any of her studio albums due to her intense lessons for the Evita movie (1996), a musical that required her to extend her reach and technique. I hope you continue to have fun while listening to Madonna, her discography combined with her videos, attitudes and uniqueness can surely prove how no one can beat her in the pop game, she really is the queen. Thank you and love from Brazil :)

    You're a great reactor, so engaged with the song itself and very honest about your experience with the song, with a bit of light comedy sprinkled in. It's refreshing when everyone is doing reactions these days, I'm glad I've found a music reactor that's this good!
    As most people have mentioned, Ray of Light is probably a must, even if you never react to another Madonna album. It's her most accomplished work. despite being a little long, it features some of the best music of her career. Frozen in particular is an out and out masterpiece.

    I just spent the night watching your three Madonna reactions and all I can think is, damn, and you haven’t even listened to the Ray of Light, Bedtime Stories, Like a Prayer, and Erotica albums yet. You’re in for such a treat. I die of envy any time someone listens to Madonna albums for the first time. I WISH I could listen to Madonna albums for the first time again. Her music is so euphoric and intoxicating. I like that you keep using words like “abduction” and “trance” during these videos but it’s just the absolute truth. SUBSCRIBED.

    What I love about Madonna is her ability to go with her gut and to no doubt it for one second. This was the album to make after Ray Of Light , in ROL (not to spoil it for you) she is spiritual and self reflective, in Music she has let go of the things that are holding her back and now we move on to funkier sounds, more experimental, this album feels like a trip through sounds with fun, personal lyrics and it culminates with Gone, one of her best album closers, giving us the passage to American Life

    When I first heard Impressive Instant I was absolutely blown away. It was so sonically interesting, catchy while still being dissonant. She was killing it at the cutting edge of the pop world at age 42! Watching her do it live at Roseland in NYC and on the Drowned World Tour was nothing short of an explosive thrill - btw I can't wait to see how confused you are by that tour - most of the audience was too! I will always love this album - Paradise Not For Me is pure genius. It's easy to see why she shifted to Mirwais - the two William Orbit tracks are ok but uninspired in comparison. American Life seemed like a huge letdown after this but I have learned to appreciate it in retrospect.

    William Orbit is the producer of "Runaway Lover", "Amazing", and "Gone." He also did amazing work with Madonna on the Ray of Light album and 6 songs on MDNA. "Amazing" uses an instrumental that she and Orbit have used several times, originally on her hit single "Beautiful Stranger" and then again on a song called "I'm a Sinner." Guy Sigsworth produced "What It Feels Like For a Girl."

    As everybody keep saying - and I profoundly agree - now you should listen to Ray of Light and, possibly, watch three videos taken from the album: Ray of Light, Drowned World/Substitute for Love and Frozen. The album came out in 1998, won each and every single possible award and sold about 20 mln records. William Orbit is the producer - besides herself, obviously - literally a british genius who turned this work a masterpiece at any level.

    I’d recommend doing erotica next it’s totally different and from a different era of music production. More dancehall, r&b, jazz, and like American life it’s conceptual too. It’s also perhaps her most controversial album and was a big shift in sound for her that wasn’t expected. It was her first studio album of the 90’s. Def one of her strongest imo. I think in order to appreciate Ray of Light this one should be listened to first and perhaps also Like a Prayer. So you can get a couple more different perspectives of her.

  • @thepuppetmaster7334
