Ray of Light (1998)

Sortie : 23 février 1998 (France). Downtempo, Art Pop

Album de Madonna

Annotation :

Ray of light, too much to say about this monument of music which has earned it 4, 4 Grammy awards (knowing that the Grammys have always boycotted Madonna). It's Madonna's greatest artistic development, sometimes the hardest for pop fans to digest. This album is outside of Madonna's career, it created its own universe and we could even say that it is not Madonna who sings but the singer of Ray of Light who only once allows herself to become Madonna again for the song Ray of light (and this is still debatable). Ray of Light is just perfect in its universe, it transcends music, it goes beyond the simple desire to make money or be famous, its desire is purely artistic. With this album Madonna has truly surpassed Michael Jackson in his art (no offense to the haters), he has never risen so high in his art. Be careful, people who don't know Madonna should not start with this album, you must first go through what came before in order to reach the apotheosis of her career.
My favorite single: Frozen/Ray of light
My favorite non single: All of them

Like a Prayer (1989)

Sortie : 20 mars 1989 (France). Pop, Dance-pop, Electronic

Album de Madonna

Annotation :

The least we can say is that Madonna had things to say in this album, it is the most cathartic and the most personal. Which does not make it meaningless because we find ourselves in his words, like a prayer, like a person who expresses himself, someone who justifies himself to his father, who takes advantage of his family or even someone 'one who must protect the flame of the romantic relationship. (It unfortunately contains the worst collaboration of Madonna with Prince it was pathetic for the potential of such a collaboration). This album cannot be explained in words, you have to listen to it to understand its meaning and appreciate its particular flavors never before seen at this stage of his career.This album was promoted by the best tour, the Blond ambition tour which is a best of all his best singles including the latest: Sonner or later, Hanky ​​Panky, Vogue (this is her Eras tour). A grandiose album at an early stage of her career, only 6 years into her career, Madonna produces the most artistic album of her career if it weren't for...Ray of light
My favorite single: Oh father
My favorite non single: Promise to try

Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005)

Sortie : 11 novembre 2005 (France). Dance-pop, Nu-Disco

Album de Madonna

Annotation :

This album ignited nightclubs and other dance floors. Madonna reinvents herself again and again and again in pop dance, synthetic disco. It makes you want to dance forever, that the music never stops stuck in a disco pop loop. It contains the best single of his career Hung up and the best sample which is as good as the original but modernized. This album is the main source of inspiration for recent albums that surf on nostalgia like Futur nostalgia. He is incorruptible. Congratulations on this feat.
My favorite single: Hung up
My favorite non single: Forbidden Love

True Blue (1986)

Sortie : 30 juin 1986 (France). Pop, Rock, Dance-pop

Album de Madonna

Annotation :

My favorite album, what can we say about this pop monument, it is his most popular album, it has a repertoire of singles that would make Whitney Houston pale. The album speaks of love, joy, peace and highlights Madonna's artistic maturity who comes out of her provocative image. It's Madonna's Thriller: Papa don't preach, Open your heart, Live to tell, True blue, La isla bonita. If there's one album to listen to among his entire discography, it's this one. It's the most accessible of all, the most pop and the one with the best era thanks to its tour (Who's That Girl Tour) and its video clips.
My favorite single: La isla bonita
My favorite non single: Where's the party

Bedtime Stories (1994)

Sortie : 14 octobre 1994 (France). Electronic, Downtempo, Pop

Album de Madonna

Annotation :

For me his most underrated album. After Erotica Madonna returns to much softer and RNB melodies with sounds never before seen in her career. It is so different from the rest of his career that the Grammy Awards deigned to grant him a nomination, these are the beginnings of Ray of Light. Her voice is so soft that you barely recognize it. It is the image of a peaceful Madonna since Erotica, an image that she will keep until the end of the Ray of Light era. She once again proves her mastery of ballads with Secret and Take a Bow and keeps her sulphurous side with Human Nature (nothing to do with that of Michael Jackson), here Madonna makes fun of the controversy that Erotica has generated: "Oops , I didn't know I couldn't talk about sex".
My favorite single: Secret
My favorite non single: Forbidden love

Erotica (1992)

Sortie : 19 octobre 1992 (France). Electronic, Downtempo, Pop

Album de Madonna

Annotation :

Ah Erotica, complex subject. The queen of controversy presents her sexuality to us through an album that would make some people orgasm. This is MADONNA'S MOST REVOLUTIONARY ALBUM that would make Like a Virgin look like a damp squib. It's the first concept album this stunning, it will cause Madonna's career to slow down but it was so daring that it had to be done. This House, RNB, Pop project does not fail to stir up the media sphere with its sex book. It is ultra coherent and well constructed and has the most underrated single: Deeper and Deeper which is a mini Vogue with Erotica sauce. Thank you Madonna for allowing female popstars to talk about sexuality, you sacrificed yourself for all the others (Miley Cirus, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears...).
My favorite single: Deeper and deeper
My favorite non single: Secret garden

Music (2000)

Sortie : 18 septembre 2000 (France). Pop, Rock, Dance-pop

Album de Madonna

Annotation :

It is the big brother of American life. Madonna presents her version of the French touch with mirwais on production. You would think that after Ray of Light Madonna had reached her limits, not at all. Madonna proves to us once again that she is timeless, no offense to Britney Spears, Mariah Carrey, Celine Dion, Michael Jackson who cannot maintain their career for more than 15 years. It’s the album of longevity, of renewal, once again. It comes close to perfection because nothing is more French touch and futuristic than this album (apart from the French touch itself: Daft punk, David Ghetta...).
My favorite single: Music
My favorite non single: Amazing

American Life (2003)

Sortie : 21 avril 2003 (France). Electronic, Vocal, Pop

Album de Madonna

Annotation :

Second album having harmed Madonna's career, unlike like a virgin/prayer brought success through controversy, American Life joined Erotica. Indeed he criticizes American society, consumption and Bush's government policies, notably the war in Iraq, through electro and more impactful production. As a result he will be boycotted by the United States of America. However, Europeans being much more critical of Americans will welcome the project positively.

Madonna (1983)

Sortie : 26 juillet 1983 (France). Electronic, Pop, Synth-pop

Album de Madonna

Annotation :

An introduction to the following album (Like a virgin), we could summarize it as that but that would be very cruel. It is overwhelming because here Madonna takes on the features of a rockstar (messy hair, exuberant look...) and serves us synthetic pop-rock which brings a breath of fresh air into the musical landscape, breaking with the "saints" virgins" from the 70s Tina Turner, Diana Ross, Bonnie Tyler... We will remember Holiday the timeless BOP which launched her career, Lucky star and Borderline an interesting ballad talking about the problem of romantic relationships namely the weariness of people.

Like a Virgin (1984)

Sortie : 13 novembre 1984 (France). Electronic, Pop, Synth-pop

Album de Madonna

Annotation :

Yes I know Like a virgin so low ? yes, Madonna's most iconic and recognizable album. The album defined the codes of the female popstar by having influenced all, ALL subsequent popstars by sexualizing the popstar (Like a virgin, Dres you up), by making men look like toys (Material Girl), by talking about love (Angel) or broken heart (Love don't live here anymore). This album is the first pop album as we know it today (with Thriller its male counterpart). It has an excellent single and a reissue which includes the very good "Into the groove". Despite everything, certain sounds have aged, the non-singles from the album have aged, the lyrics remain relevant today.
My favorite single: Material Girl
My favorite non single: Over and over

Rebel Heart (2015)

Sortie : 5 mars 2015 (France). Pop, Pop Rap, Dance-pop

Album de Madonna

Annotation :

Her most coherent album of the 2010s. Devalued by the loss of recognition of Madonna's art because of MDNA, you again... I present to you an electric, house album with a touch of hyperpop. If you like Brat and the work of Charlie XCX I recommend this album.
My favorite single: Ghosttown
My favorite non single: Iconic

Hard Candy (2008)

Sortie : 25 avril 2008 (France). Pop, RnB/Swing, Electronic

Album de Madonna

Annotation :

This album is the last album known to the general public, notably due to its legendary single "4 minutes" which reminded the whole world that Madonna masters collaborations. It's the album of collaborations as if Madonna was relying on the younger generation. For me this album is the definition of the album saved by these singles which is already not bad because some don't even make it (MDNA, Invicible, Britney Jean, Smile, Scarlet, TTPD, Music of the spheres, and so on and so forth...), apart from the singles no other track caught my attention
My favorite single: 4 minutes
My favorite non single: Beat goes on

Madame X (2019)

Sortie : 14 juin 2019 (France).

Album de Madonna

Annotation :

Since MDNA people have lost interest in Madonna. Here she presents us with a daring project with sounds rarely seen in her career. They renew themselves as they always have and it's interesting even if it doesn't rekindle the pop and dance flame. This project is characterized by its eclecticism from Latino, club dance to "God control" and experimental pop. Having hardly listened to this album it is difficult for me to judge it but the singles are already good.
My favorite single: God control

MDNA

MDNA (2012)

Sortie : 23 mars 2012 (France). Electronic, Pop, Europop

Album de Madonna

Annotation :

By far his worst album which is not even saved by its singles... "Girl gone wild" is an excellent track from the album but one good song does not make it a good album. Girl gone wild was doomed, no one gave her a chance which is understandable given the rest of the album. The damp squib "Give me all your lovin" was good at the Superbowl but to listen to... Nothing else to say about this album which is poor, gone your way, there is nothing to see.
My favorite single: Girl gone wild
My favorite non-single: .............

I’m Breathless (OST) (1990)

Sortie : 12 mai 1990 (France). Soundtrack, Downtempo, Stage & Screen

Bande-originale de Madonna

Annotation :

I'm breathless is an excellent jazz album that is too often forgotten and a very effective soundtrack. If you like jazz you will find what you are looking for here with impactful brass instruments and Madonna who adopts a slightly deeper voice. This album introduces Madonna's second best single "Vogue" which is incredibly well produced, mixed and its video... However Vogue has no business being on a jazz album and should have been released for its compilation. Special mention to “Something to remember” which is a very beautiful and moving ballad.
My favorite single: Vogue
My favorite non-single: Something to remember

The Immaculate Collection

The Immaculate Collection (1990)

Sortie : 12 novembre 1990 (France).

Compilation de Madonna

Annotation :

How to introduce Madonna without talking about the best compilation for a solo artist, yes better than all the Michael Jackson compilations which are compilations without any real added value. This compilation features light remixes of his best 80s singles as well as 2 additional tracks that work well with the rest of the album. "Justify my love" is a taste of the Erotica album and "Rescue me" is an interesting and never-before-seen ballad from Madonna.
