December 7, 20214 yr We’re getting Take a Bow maxi single on 17th December. Nice to see these returning!
February 17, 20224 yr Take A Bow is a beautiful song and the video is amazing, one of her best indeed.
November 7, 20241 yr Very late to mention but 'Bedtime Stories' turned 30 on 25th October! I genuinely think this album could take third place in my ranking of Madonna's albums, behind 'Confessions' and 'Ray of Light'. 'Bedtime Stories' is the perfect title for this album; there's so much warmth that comes from the melodies and production and I love the intimate, late-night feelings explored in the lyrics. It's my go-to album to unwind to or be reflective with. I think many of the strongest songs appearing later in the album has a positive effect on the listening experience too, like it keeps you engaged throughout as it gradually reveals itself. How well does the album rank against other Madonna releases for everyone else?
February 15, 20251 yr This is exciting, but I am hoping it's not just vinyl and it ends up on streaming as well so those of us who haven't bought into the vinyl resurrection can listen too. I wonder if this is instead of the reissues she was going to do. Extra stuff like this is what I expected to be extra on those, so releasing it stand alone is a different move to what I expected. Or... It's vinyl for now and then they'll get included on CDs at a later date with the reissues?
February 16, 20251 yr Apparently these songs were registered last year: 923014190 - I Will Always Have You (Inside Of Me) 923012975 - Goodtime 923012803 - Something's Coming Over Me 923012151 - Tongue Tied 923011532 - Don't Stop 923010305 - Bring It 920972589 - I'd Rather Be Your Lover 920960573 - Secret 920292042 - Human Nature (No Samples) 919948608 - Human Nature (No Samples) I think quite a few of those are Shep Pettibone productions. Very much hope we get 'Something's Coming Over Me', the original 'Secret', as it's one of those songs that's been brought up by the fandom over the years but never leaked.
February 17, 20251 yr She originally promoted this album calling it romantic. She is now rolling around the floor fingering herself!
February 17, 20251 yr Yeah, that promo video really isn't it. Bedtime Stories was supposed to be a softer side of her after the rawness of Erotica.
February 19, 20251 yr Author I love this album but not sure I'll be getting this. I have the original on vinyl and knowing her this will be super super expensive. :(
October 4, 2025Oct 4 The recent survivor game got me thinking about how 'Bedtime Story' and 'Human Nature' both missed the Hot 100 in the US - a shock not only for being the first time this had happened since her chart debut but also Madonna had just scored a multi-week #1 in 'Take a Bow'. For the US at least, it probably would have been best to go for different singles. I think 'Forbidden Love' would have been a suitable follow-up to 'Take a Bow' - in fact, I think it could have been another big hit for her. It's not in the top half of my album ranking but I'd pick 'I'd Rather Be Your Lover' - the Tupac version - as fourth single.
