Madonna

Ray Of Light

Her best album of the 1990s.

Review Score:

(10/10)
As some other reviewers have noted, Madonna was having a hard time in the early 1990s. I think she was caught up in musical adolscence (sp?). But, when she emerged as an adult singer with RAY OF LIGHT, boy were we all blown away! This album is so great! FROZEN is one of the best songs (and videos) that Madonna has ever done. Her music became so emotional and spiritual. It's like she finally found what she was hoping to find with EROTICA and BEDTIME STORIES, but just wasn't mature enough to realize it then.

Another thing I think had a real effect on Madonna's music was her having children and becoming a mother. Many of her previous albums (and even on AMERICAN LIFE) have songs dealing with the loss of her mother at a young age. I think Madonna found some kind of spiritual peace in having her own children. To our delight, this made her an even better person....and her music drastically improved. Madge could finally enjoy making music...be at peace...and have a little fun. If you haven't went out and purchased this yet...you had better get to your local record store immediately! You won't want to miss this one!
