Biography

In the 80s Madonna achieved notoriety for her flagrant sexuality, which saw some tag her as a soft-porn star who happened to sing. She deliberately courted controversy to stay in the limelight, but her songs were so memorable that she would've been a star anyway, and her ever-changing persona has kept her at the top ever since.

Madonna Louise Ciccone Ritchie, better known as Madonna, has been many… Read more in Amazon's Madonna Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Rebirth, July 1, 2002
This review is from: Ray of Light (Audio CD)
Madonna's 1998 album RAY OF LIGHT was a rebirth in many forms. It had been 4 years since we heard a real studio album from Madonna, 1994's BEDTIME STORIES, before was 1992's EROTICA, so as usual people didn't know what to expect from Madonna. She surprised us all, by returning with this album, RAY OF LIGHT, which is one of her best albums.

The album is totally electronica, working with William Orbit she created this sound, which works extremely well here. Since 1994, there had been lots of changes in Madonna. She released the ballads compilation SOMETHING TO REMEMBER in 1995, took the world by storm with her role in EVITA in 1996, and also had a child in 1996, which obviously changed her profusely. As well it appears she found religion in hinduism. All of these changes are brought to light here. She talks about the joys of motherhood on the poignantly beautiful "Little Star", she deals with the death of her mother on the hauntingly beautiful "Mer Girl", she tells it like it is on "Drowned World/Substitute For Love", about replenishing and renewal on "Swim", love and acceptance on "Nothing Really Matters", a sense of longing on "Has To Be".

Overall its a complete album start to finish, fans arent/wont be disapointed with this one. The import is worth it for the extra track "Has To Be", which was a bside, its a great track. Overall this is worth checking out, so give it a try.

5.0 out of 5 stars Has to Be Her Best!!!, June 10, 2004
By 
G. M. Grena (REDONDO BEACH, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Ray of Light (Audio CD)
This has to be her best CD! I orginally checked the USA version out of a local public library here & was quite impressed. Although I don't like Madonna for the way she acts & things she says, I thoroughly enjoy many of her tunes--especially "Frozen", which is the high point of this particular collection. Because the other songs are so likeable (except for "Mer Girl", which is the low point of the CD), I just had to get this import out of curiosity over the bonus track, "Has to Be". In my opinion it was a major mistake to include "Mer Girl" on the USA version rather than "Has to Be". If you like "Frozen", you'll definitely enjoy "Has to Be", so order this CD today! It's terrific!
