The only bit of MATM i like is when Madge reminds Britney of her existence and Brit just goes''yeah''

'Til Death Do Us Part

 

When I did my top Madge songs countdown a year or so ago, this was originally about 12th but ended up claiming 4th (I think?) by the time I'd finished listening to them all so often... and since then I've just continued to listen to it so often that it's rapidly climbing my most listened to Madge tracks ever, it's just sublime and would definitely be top 2 now. :wub:

 

^ a lovely, lovely song completely dark but presented in such a joyous way. Really confusing emotions throughout and not one i'd expect you to necessarily love but wow at how much you do! :o

 

Listening to it now, it's such a powerful, beautiful song <3

Haha I love this bit too. :') You can just envision the side-eye in the "yeah".

Sky Fits Heaven probably has the best instrumentation of any Madonna track :heart: lyrically perfect too.

Tbh, I think I could quite happily listen through an album of Ray of Light instrumentals. They have such complexity to make them unique and special, but a simplicity to prevent them from being too overbearing. William Orbit is legit one of the best producers, even for just his work on this album alone.

 

Shame about the background vocals, but the I love the "travelling down their own road" part of the instrumental.

 

I've been obsessed with this mash-up of 'Living for Love' and 'What is Love?' again recently:

 

 

Fits so well together, both in sound and lyrics. I adore the chorus; so euphoric! :heart:

That works so well !!!

It does! I always thought it sounded very 90s and the way it fits so effortlessly into an actual 90s dance classic just confirms that.

 

There's also a 'Beat It' vs. 'Bitch I'm Madonna' mash up that I really like too.

 

POWERHOUSE

I don't like her momdonna look in that video.

More like Marilyndonna! :wub:

 

I saw the New Year in by singing to 'Like a Virgin' in a packed club last night (where everyone, whether they liked it or admitted to it, knew all the words).

 

Needless to say it was the peak of the night.

I'm listening to I'm Breathless for the first time ever and its actually quite good? Sooner or Later would have been a smash if given the chance.

And of course HANKY PANKY*.* what a bop

Meh. And Hanky Panky is turd.

obvs not getting any hanky panky x

! Bitch I get my share (-_-)

I don't think I've listened to I'm Breathless in its entirety, but 'Sooner or Later' is definitely the best from what I've heard ('Vogue' aside, of course) - more specifically the performance she delivered at the Oscars 1991:

 

 

Adore the vocals, the movement, the look, the naughtiness. Perfect. :wub:

Also, everyone secretly loves a bit of 'Hanky Panky'.

 

Rhyming 'panky' and 'spanky' is poetic genius.

Two years on, this has properly clicked for me! Pretty beautiful stuff.
