Hard Candy(more) »rank: 333by: Madonna
Our review:Album Description:Japanese pressing of Madonna's 2008 full-length album includes one bonus track, 'Ring My Bell'. Hard Candy is a brilliant uptempo collection that adds a hip-hop beat to the cultural icon's club sensibilities, thanks to collaborations with Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams, and Nate 'Danja' Hills. Hard Candy punctuates the first 25 years of the album career of the most successful female artist in history with a musical exclamation point. 12 tracks.. Detail |
The Immaculate Collection(more) »rank: 912by: Madonna
Our review: essential recording:The naughtily titled Immaculate Collection culls 15 of Madonna's Top 10 singles from 1984 to mid-'90, plus 2 new ones that continued the run (the dirty, trunk-bumping funk of 'Justify My Love'--a Lenny Kravitz production that justifies his entire career--and the danceable desperation of 'Rescue Me'). Rooted in disco and classic AM pop from girl groups and ABBA to Strawberry Alarm Clock, Madonna made savvy, touching music throughout her first golden era. These tracks retain their sonic and historical significance while, like 'She Loves You' or 'Rocket Man,' still brightening any space they're being played in. Far more than ... Detail |

The Confessions Tour - Live from London (CD+DVD)(more) »rank: 1019by: Madonna
Our review:Album Description:The Confessions Tour, filmed at London's Wembley Arena during her worldwide sold-out 25-city Confessions Tour (2006's top-grossing tour world-wide), features songs from throughout the dance diva's career but largely focuses on Confessions On A Dance Floor. Bonus Footage on DVD: Je suis L'art, They're naughty children, Rollerskating, Photo Gallery :The world can't get enough of Madonna, and with CD/DVD sets like The Confessions Tour dropping regularly, it's little wonder why. As a thrower of fantasy dance parties, she is peerless. As a physical role model for the 40-ish women who grew up on her music, she rules. And as an ... Detail |

Confessions on a Dance Floor(more) »rank: 2056by: Madonna
Our review:Album Description:On Confessions of a Dance Floor, Madonna, the most popular and significant female artist in pop music, returns unapologetically to her roots. A stunning blend of musical styles with one foot in early disco and the other pointed toward the future, Confessions On A Dance Floor 'is all about having a good time straight through and non-stop,' says the Material Mom, who co-wrote and co-produced every track. For Madonna and music fans everywhere, the all-dance, no-ballad Confessions on a Dance Floor is a welcome guilty pleasure. :Apparently there's nothing in Kabbalah that disallows sweaty, head-spinningly good dance music, because here ...

Ray of Light(more) »rank: 4164by: Madonna
Our review:Album Description:Vinyl edition of her 1998 & latest smash album --unavailableon this format in the U.S. Features the hit 'Frozen' & thetitle track. Black wax. The sleeves include full lyrics. AMaverick/ Warner Brothers release. essential recording:Never underestimate Madonna's power of persuasion: By nearly all critical accounts, Ray of Light, Madonna's first album of new material since 1994's Bedtime Stories, and her first since motherhood, is her richest, most accomplished record yet. While Ray of Light is being tagged as Madonna's big leap into electronica, it's important to note two things: First, her music has always had close ties to dance ... Detail |

Like a Prayer(more) »rank: 4784by: Madonna
Our review: essential recording:Considered by many to be the Material Girl's most mature effort of the '80s, Like a Prayer upped the ante of controversy with its gospel-infused title track and the singer's emotional confessions throughout. It also unveiled the hit 'Express Yourself,' which ushered in the era of Madonna as a 'stainless steel sexual icon.' Musically, Prayer showcased her burgeoning songwriting prowess, with the beautiful 'Oh Father' and the perky pop of 'Cherish.' Besides a throw-away collaboration with Prince ('This Is Not a Love Song'), the CD stands as one of her strongest works, eschewing the strong dance beat influences from ... Detail |
Like a Virgin(more) »rank: 13299by: Madonna
Our review: :Madonna's second album was her breakthrough, thanks principally to two gimmicky hits: the sinuous 'Like a Virgin,' with its taboo-busting metaphor for that fresh, clean new-love feeling, and the cutesy, Betty-Boopsy 'Material Girl.' Most of the rest of the album, although similarly frothy, is superior to those warhorses, notably the irresistible LP tracks 'Over and Over,' and 'Pretender'--which adds a bit of gossamer delicacy to the mandatory bounciness. 'Dress You Up' is a Madonna classic, an insubstantial dance-pop delight bedecked in synthesized bells and replete to the beat with kinky suggestions. And there's a sign of greater depth to come in ... Detail |

True Blue(more) »rank: 26039by: Madonna
Our review:Album Description:Japanese remastered version of Madonna's 1986 album. Includes the worldwide classics ''Live To Tell'', ''Papa Don't Preach'', ''True Blue'', ''Open Your Heart'', and ''La Isla Bonita''. Also includes 2 remixes of ''True Blue'' and ''La Isla Bonita'. Warner. 2005. essential recording:A quintessential '80s pop artifact, Madonna's third album was a huge musical leap forward and ranks with Like a Prayer and Ray of Light in the top echelon of her works. Only the title track (a bit too obviously a '60s girl-group homage) and the fine-but-nothing-special 'Jimmy Jimmy' slightly lower the quality bar. Most of the songs share a ... Detail |
