"Madonna had once again remodeled people's expectations of what a female pop singer could achieve. Decades before Beyoncé's Lemonade and Ariana Grande's Thank U, Next, it laid the foundation for the deeply persona pop blockbuster, auteured by a strong woman at the peak of her creative powers"

This song was weird as f*** but super well produced

No one will catch me listening to this. However it’s a bop.

the baroque ass outro kills me

i think it fits well because it represents the girlhood aspect. its also the flip side of Promise to Try which is the sad little girl song. she got all sides of her womanhood on here

men not doing it like this

and also because of the heavier song that follows it

Song slaps

Pink elephants and lemonade

Tbf not many male artists besides MJ could have made that song

Maybe Prince, maybe Bowie bc it was kinda his style of weird but still

Song to her mom and to her dad damn

i think a lot of this albums detractors think of Dear Jessie, Oh Father, Spanish Eyes as weaker

i love them all though

her voice on the chorus is angelic

spanish eyes top 3

Her vocals on this album are wild

She sounds so mature and assured vocally

parent songs, childhood songs, love and breakup songs, another family one too, religious/spiritual aspects

album just so well conceived thematically compared to the previous ones

oh father i have sinned

Synth bridge/ breakdown with guitar and strings

30 year old madge doing it differently

indie pop madonna

It’s cool as f***
This and the late bush knock off were super unexpected

You didn't mean to be cruel
Somebody hurt you too

shes on her Mrs. Morale s***

crazy her dad is still alive at like 95

stubborn old b******

This one got Prince on it right?

Bc this sounds like Prince

keep it together top 1

Probably

I don't like this one

all guitars and bass
