Something To Remember

Giving You Something Worth Remembering

Review Score:

(10/10)
Madonna isn't really an artist known for her ballads, the draw usually is the infectious and well crafted pop songs, songs that make any reasonable listener want to get up and dance and have a goodtime. Madonna could suprise all then, with this smooth ballad collection. Containing new tracks and some of her biggest slow jams, this set is laced with passion, lust, yearning, sorrow, strength, and power. Madge's ballads have been some of her most well written lyrical endeavors, with the intense "Live To Tell" and erotic "Rain" being fine examples. Her biggest hit here in the United States is the smoldering "Take A Bow", which is contained here in, a cut from her previous Bedtime Stories album. The bold "You'll See", brazen "Forbidden Love", and the sultry title cut are also highlights, though my favorite track is her theme to "A League Of Their Own", in the moving "This Used To Be My Playground". The album's least loved cut, though another favorite of mine, is the remix of "Love Don't Live Here Anymore". A ballad collection, with a deeper edge, definitely a must have.
