Song Used: Dream Land - Zábava
One of her most ICONIC albums. Fun fact: The producer of this album, Stuart Price also produced Dua Lipa's Future Nostalgia. In the song I Love New York, she is praising the city where she began with her musical career back in the 1980s.
Stuart Price did not produce FN! What r u talking?
@@frankdoalburquerque2588 He produced most of the tracks from Future Nostalgia.
He co-produced 3 tracks out of 11. If you want some good Stuart Price produced albums you should listen to Kylie- Aphrodite, Take That- Progress or the Killers- Day & Age 👍
@@Emmett-1808 I checked the album Future Nostalgia and in fact, he co-produced 3 out of the 11 tracks from the album. As for Kylie's Aphrodite, is an AMAZING album. Kylie Minogue and Madonna are my Dance-Pop queens.
@@kidanygascot1410 yeah, they have their highs and lows like everyone but Confessions is my peak dance pop for Madonna, I love Aphrodite but Body Language is my peak Kylie 🙂
This album is a pop masterpiece, and the accompanying tour is one, if not the best tour Madonna has done!
AMEN !!!
It is honestly probably the best tour of any pop star to date. It was just such a comprehensive, mystical, dancey masterpiece. She should do a reaction to the Confessions Tour as well!!!
This is one of her best albums with Ray of light MASTERPIECES BOTH.
Fun fact: Madonna sampled a ABBA song for Hung up that’s why it sound familiar lol 😂
Ray of Light!!! 🤍
True Blue is her best album
"Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" is the name of Abba's song that Madonna sampled for Hung Up
But also, the Hung Up intro is all over Tik tok
Or it might be familiar cause Hung Up is one of the biggest songs of the 2000s
I wish you listened to the non-stop CD version cause the transitions in this album are top tierrrrrrr 🤩
Yes, the non stop version is so much better.
Yes!!!! The Let It Will Be, Forbbiden Love & Jump run is PERFECT in the non-stop version
Unfortunately the mixed version isn't available track by track and is instead one long track, so when you play it you can't skip if you want to get to a specific song.
@@scott8919wtf you mean? I just ripped a copy i bought back in 2008 and of course they are separate tracks, also it used to be in spotify years ago
Also, this whole album is centered on 70s disco and 80s electro sounds. She said she wanted to make music that she herself would dance to, which happens to be this album
This album won a Grammy, enough said, like it or not it's your own taste. I simply love it and think is a masterpiece.
Grammys obviously don’t mean anything considering how many she has
@@peepee2922 Right, but it is a reference.
@@peepee2922 she *only * has 7 Grammys. she should’ve won Grammys for Like a Prayer, Erotica, Bedtime Stories, American Life and Madame X.
I recommend ray of light from Madonna because it's definitely soooo different to her other albums and I think you'd enjoy it, it's very ethereal and alternative
Madonna is an artist that uses music as a template to explore her interests in art and philanthropy.. there's usually a duality to her work, the surface is generally pop but the themes/inspiration are generally deep, especially the accompanying visuals
👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🫶🫶🫶 perfectly well said!!! 100% agree with you!!
the other singer in "Isaac" is mixing Arabic and Hebrew from an old Yemeni poem. His name is Yitzhak, with translates to Isaac. :)
I love the buildup in Get Together. When it finally reaches its apex and explodes, I get this ecstatic electrostatic rush and visualize metallic-crystalline sparks cascading down all around. I kind of-sort of have a form of synesthesia and certain sounds create consistent visuals in my mind's eye that affect me viscerally. That moment of that song always gives me a thrill.
Get together might be my fav song ever!! It’s just perfection
This album was so special to me! Came out my first year of university and is the soundtrack to so many very amazing memories❤️❤️❤️
Mee too❤ oh my gosh
Fun tip this album is supposed to flow from song to song... That's why the next song always sounds like the previous.
You should do one Madonna album for each decade
80s - Like a Prayer
90s - Ray of Light
2000s - confessions (✔️)
2010s - Rebel heart
This way you can experience Madonna in completely different eras, plus these are 4 of her best albums
Yes, please!! Do more Madonna content!! I guarantee you’ll love it!!! 😏😎
OMG!!!! I did not expect this video! This is THE album of Madonna. Thank you :)
Madonna, like Britney, is a pop Icon. The Queen and Princess of pop. They have their own strengths but man, they MADE the pop game. Great video!
you need to watch the tour for this, you'll be blown away.
This is her MASTERPIECE. Madonna is a living legend. We should appreciate all her works! Queen of RE INVENTION ❤ confession tour is my favourite ever
I think you'll LOOOOOOOOOOVE her Rebel Heart album. Is exactly the type of album I imagine u will be listening in a loop.
Yeeesssss Rebel Heart
This album was an homage to her late 70's early 80's nyc days dancing at the disco as an aspiring dancer. The album was supposed to run as one long record with no stops. You should REALLY watch her videos for this era but also REALLY watch the Confessions Tour. I mean...MASTERPIECE!
"Was she getting a lot of hate at the time?" Girl! When hasn't she?! Like it or not is one of her ultimate anthems about who she is. People hate her for no reason but she's still on top and still keeps going.
I NEED a rebel heart deluxe reactionnn. everyone hates on it simply because she employed trendy sounds and lots of writers, but IMO it's her best, her vocals are veryyyy clear sounding and not distorted which is gorgeous. she really expiremented but in an oh so amazing 2015 way, BOP after bop with great lyrics too
MDNA is my second fave, but idk if you'll like it, it's VERY 2012 haah idk if that's ur vibe
@@tristianbjork5634 I love MDNA too
As someone who’s heard all of Madonna’s albums but isn’t a “stan” I think I can give an unbiased recommendation:
If you’re willing to give another one of her albums a chance I would suggest Ray of Light! It’s very adventurous and the songs do not blend together. It’s considered her best album. it’s bound to hold your attention if nothing else. :) it’s possibly unlike anything you’ve heard before and it may surprise you in a lot of ways!
All 4 of her 80s albums are also fantastic, but if you don’t like the 80s pop sound, it might just not work for you.
Btw, I feel similarly to you about Confessions. Ray of Light is WILDLY different in just about every way
I am so glad someone finally likes "Push" as much as I do. That song has such a beautiful production and the twinkling sound throughout is stunning. I was too young too understand this album when it came out and didn't understand how great it was till I was much older, it really is one of her best albums.
I like Push a lot too, it's one of my favorites.
This was great. If you want another album by Madonna which has amazing production and personal lyrical content then give Ray of Light album a listen. A career highlight for Madonna and was a game changer for music at the time.
that is one of her best albums along with RAY OF LIGHT
If you get a chance, listen to the CD version of this album, each song mixes into another and it's the best way to listen to it IMO. The 'Non-Stop Mix' used to be on streaming but it's on CZcams now. Also later down the line you should react to the Confessions Tour, as these songs were brought to life in the best way!
This 👆🏻
I worked in a music shop as a teenager and when the CD first came out I put it on in the shop and it blew my mind when every song would masterfully blend into the next.
I CANT BELIEVE YOU DID THIS ONE!!!!!!!! One of the best albums ever released like EVER!
This is one of her best albums. It's easy to love. Terrific production and some killer singles. Glad you're giving Madonna a whirl!
That piano riff in the beginning of Hung Up is from ABBA’s Gimme Gimme Gimme! They are also pop masters so it’s no surprise that Madonna, The Queen of Pop, is giving a nod. Great video!
Future Lovers is a reference to I Feel Love by Donna Summer
*It's more than 'giving a nod' to ABBA.. it's also them giving one back to Madonna... she is the only artist in history that ABBA allowed to sample ANY of their work. cuz SHE'S MADONNA!'*
*& the comment below... it's not **_really_** a 'reference' to I feel Love.. it's 95% the exact bassline from I Feel Love, which was praised by it's writer, the legendary Georgio Morodor. Even Donna Summer wished her luck with it when she heard about it.*
*Madonna doesn't work with scrubs.. and she has the power to make near impossible things happen!*
*The Queen.*
@@FranklySpeaking. it’s an interpolation. both Madonna songs interpolated the older classics. Madonna even covered I Feel Love on tour.
My favorite Madonna album and the concert tour is the best!!! Thank you for reacting!
✌🏻🙂✌🏻
Aww, u should've listened to the original version of the album, which every song transitions into eachother. It's not on streaming platforms anymore, don't know why they took it out. But it's on CZcams, so maybe u can check out all the transitions for urself (and maybe react to them). My personal favorites are from Let It Will Be - Forbidden Love and from Forbidden Love - Jump
Been waiting for this reaction, you just made my day 🥰⭐️
🥰🥰🥰
i know you don't wanna do her entire discog but you should react to Like A Prayer and Ray of Light, two iconic and very essential acclaimed albums in pop history.
Like a Prayer has big hits but is not a cohesive album… from Erotica to Music, are her best of the best albums
@@graphiquejackYes, Erotica 💯!!!!
I especially love the non-stop version of this album. My favorite is Sorry hands down.
Please do "Ray of Light" album! This and "confessions on the dancefloor" are honestly her best work throughout her career, in my opinion.
i didn't know i needed this reaction until you did it. I love uuuu. React to more Madonna 🙏🙏🙏
omg thank uuuu xx
I wish someone told you it was a non stop album so there’s a version where each song goes into the other.
Also when she began writing this album, she was writing a play but it turned out to be writing sessions for an album naturally
Isaac is a personal fav for me on the album and Get Together.
Tbh Madonna is so much more than her hits. She has a very vast variety in her catalog so regardless you can definitely find a personal fav album from her. She has literally done it all. But still in a Madonna fashion. 💖
My top 5 albums from Madonna are
1. Ray of light
2. American Life
3. Confessions On A Dance Floor
4. Madame X
5. Rebel Heart
ive been waiting for this one!! hung up and future lovers are my favs
Get together and Forbidden love are my favourite from the album. Get together has grooving, pulsating beat. Forbidden love is melodic beautiful dance track with symbolic lyrics.
Gurrrrl! I’ve watched two of your videos and you joy for music is contagious! THANK YOU for being amazing!
Fun fact: Get Together's main melody may be familiar to you, cause it was sampled in Britney Spears' "Trouble" from the deluxe version of Circus, which you've heard😊
Hum not to be annoying but pretty sure there’s no confirmation at all of a sample from “Get Together” in “Trouble”? There are no credits to it at all, not even on whosampled website, they just have similar melodies but it doesn’t have a sample. I always thought they’re similar and I even made a mashup once but there are no official comments or credits on this so… not real, unfortunately.
@@milksims when I said sampled, I didn't look up if the melody was legally sampled or taken. I just used that word for the exact melody's usage in the other song
I never noticed how similar they were 😮
I love the transition “Illusion-Confusion”!!! Wow!! Yes, it’s hypnotic and yes, it puts you in a trance!!!
This album was the one that made me a Madonna fan.
Madonna is the best selling female artists of all time 👑
It feels so DAMN GOOD to watch Beth discovering Hung Up in 2022 and enjoying it! So refreshing! I just went back in time in 2005 when I was 17 to the day this song was released. Such good vibes! Thanks bb!
Your reaction is so CUUUUTE!:)
Yassssss. This is my favorite video of yours yet (I love all of them dw) I recommended some madonna in the viewer poll you did, and I love to see it
thank you so much!! ☺️ appreciate you!!
Hey, Beth! Just discovered your channel and as a long time Madonna fan I will give you my top 5 albums as a suggestion for you to react. (I hope you do ❤)
1) Erotica, 1992 (Madonna’s most controversial album, it will be its 30th anniversary on the next 20th October)
2) Ray of Light, 1998 (Madonna’s most awarded album)
3) Like a Prayer, 1989 (Madonna’s most acclaimed album)
4) Confession (you’ve done it 😊)
5) Music
The original CD had each song transition into the next like a DJ set which may be why they all kind of start with a slow beat-heavy build.
RAY OF LIGHT will blow your mind,but you got to remember was released in 1998 and all tracks could be songs from today.
Time to react to the tours! You do a great job and we love your vibe and yourhs perspective!
OUR QUEEN REACTING TO THE QUEEN OMG!!!
😭🥺💖
0:57 You are right Beth. What a great first choice! This album was great, like a reborn from her.
What an iconic reaction!!!!
thank you 🥺💖
Push is a great song, I'm glad you liked it
In the song Let Will It Be she's singing about how she's willing to let her fame and popularity go wherever they go even if they go down and away because she knows as she sang that "it won't last long. The lights they will come down."
Yes, of all female artists, Madonna has gotten an extraordinary amount of hate in her forty years of fame. I would highly recommend going through her whole discography, so you can truly appreciate her contribution in music and her growth as a person, singer, song writer and producer.
Hello Beth! Nice reaction!!
thank you!!!
YESS YOURE GETTING INTO M !!
thanks sm for considering listening to madge, she’s really one of my favorites.
i’m sorry that confessions wasn’t an automatic grab, i know it’s lyrics are very repetitive. it’s VERY electronic, big, and disco-oriented. it really is such a genius album when you hear the context and how she really only worked with one producer in an apartment to make this album, according to the podcast on hung up.
I think you would more-a-so like something more like Ray of Light (which i see getting reccomended by a lot of other ppl (for a reason def !!!))
madonna is really a genius and NO album sounds the same. each era is intricate. her earlier albums you will definitely like better.
personal topster (not counting confessions):
1. Ray of Light
2. Like a Prayer
3. Bedtime stories
4. Erotica
5. Music
6. Self-titled
I really hope you get to see more of her music mastery some day !! 🤍🤍
Madonna is my fav.!!!))) 🦋🦋🦋
Madonna's album "Music" is perfection along with "Ray of Light."
Madonna is my fav so im here for this!
Love this album ‘sorry’ is my favorite track of this one!!!
Madonna plus Stuart Price = 400% success work
Btw this video is just what I needed today 😭😭😭😭
😭😭😭😭😭💖
@@BethThereseReacts also, loved the reaction and the honesty. Exactly what I subscribed for 💞
I was watching this reaction again and I love how throughout the reaction you’re like “??????” And “!!!!!!!” And that sums up how I reacted to it at first. It’s a fave of mine now
hahaha ♥️
One of the reasons you might have found things sound the same is because on the physical CD of this album all of the songs transition into each other so there’s normally an element or chord progression that Carrie’s through song to song
You need to see The Confessions Tour
Isaac was inspired by verses from a 17th century Yemenite Hebrew spiritual poem “Im Nin’alu”; a song version was popularized in 1984 by the late singer Ofra Haza (died in 2000 age 42 from AIDS complications); Haza was known as the “Madonna of the East” and the “Israeli Madonna”. By the time of the Confessions album project (2004-05) Madonna was deep into the study of Kabbalah school of Jewish mysticism as part of her spiritual journey in search of wisdom and answers about the complexities of life. She met Yitzhak Sinwani, a Yemenite Jew who sang “Im Nin’alu” and other traditional Hebrew songs during Kabbalah sessions in London and Los Angeles. She invited him to record with her Isaac (the English equivalent of Yitzhak) and eventually joined her in the Confessions Tour in 2006 where they performed a spectacular version of Isaac.
dua lipa said this album inspired future nostalgia
the instrumental from "Hung Up" is from Abba's Gimme Gimme Gimme(A Man After Midnight)
After your reactions, I’m gonna recommend a second listen. And the songs merge in the end of one and the beginning of the next because it was intended to be EXPERIENCED not just listened to. This album is even more appreciated when you know about music from other cultures, and know about different cultures in general. Madonna always by the middle of her albums goes into a more philosophical route, and musically starts using cultural influences. I feel like in the US people are so narrow when it comes to cultures and other types of being and living. She has always lent a voice to the underrepresented and not just minorities but giving visibility to other countries and realities. She may not be the greatest singer but her creative genius and lyrical prowess are almost unmatched to date in relation to the impact she’s had. I sincerely hope you give it a second listen. You are growing content maker, and your knowledge must grow along with your viewers. You are very charismatic, and very nice. I hope you can get more.
PS: The Isaac chant was in hebrew and she was talking about the story of Isaac from the Torah/Talmud. XO
Not sure if the "She-may-not-be-the-greatest-singer" criteria really works anymore... Some of the best artists of their time were not "the greatest singers," for example, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohn, Louis Armstrong, etc. but they each had an impact on music and/or culture in general. 😊
More Madonna please 🎉
Also the melody comes from an ABBA song.. Madonna asked them if she could use it
Ray of light... Amazing, iconic 💛
Will always be my favorite album
I found your channel with the reaction to one of Mariah Carey's album.. im having such a good time with your videos now 😂❤
If you like the humming on Isaac then you will love the Ray of Light album. Full of absolutely beautiful hummms lol 😂
Isaac really grew on me but I think it’s beautiful.
Get Together is my “Calgon “ it takes me away. You’re probably too young to get that 😂 It’s atmospheric and gives me chills it’s so good. I could listen to it on repeat lol.
Love the video so much. I highly recommend you do an Allie X discography journey. You’re going to love it 😊
thank you so much 💕 i want to!!
By the way, the songs on this album do not have separated tracks, it’s supposed to be played non stop with no breaks. When you skip or start the next one you can still hear the end transition from the previous song. It was made this way. That is why they all have similar production in areas. Also some of these songs aren’t the album versions, I love New York doesn’t actually start that way or end that way. Interesting
When you stream this cd it's a complete diferente experience than the physical one. The physical one is just like one big track and that's why you feel that you already heard the song, they just build to the next track with no pause.
I love Madonna so much! If you wanna react to her other albums here’s my ranking of the albums in my opinion:
1Ray If Light
2Like A Prayer
3Music
4Madame X
5Confessions
6Erotica
7True Blue
8Erotica
9American Life
10Rebel Heart
11Madonna
12Hard Candy
13Like A Virgin
14MDNA
Also by the way: maybe you know the hung up beat not because of this song, but because that instrumental is a sample ofABBA’s GGGAMAM
I looooove Rebel Heart and Hard Candy!!!!! Why so low 🥲🥲🥲🥲
MDNA was great! Loved your reaction to Gaga's ARTPOP, if you're down for some experimental electropop bangers from Madonna, then MDNA would be the album for you :)
PLEASE do Madonna's album "Rebel Heart"! It's one of her latest albums... it's very diverse, modern, and some of her best work, in my opinion! I just love jamming along with you!
The reason why some of the intros sound similar probably has to do with the fact that, for the physical versions of this album, the songs are all mixed into each other. Like there's not a second of silence in between the tracks, but they all flow into one another.
And yeah, she did get a lot of hate during this time. Her previous album, American Life, was not received well. It was her most political work to date and was quite critical of the Bush administration that was during that time. Also, she started to talk with a British accent in between these two eras and people thought she was pretentious for that reason.
Trance is a genre of electronic music, and I'd classify this album's styles as primarily trance and house influenced electronic pop. There are some disco elements, as well, for sure, but Hung Up is the most disco to my ears, and it should be since it's build on an ABBA instrumental.
For authentic trance music, look up Childen by Robert Myles and Dreaming by BT (Brian Transeau). Trance is my favorite subgenre of electronic music, and some of the producers in the 90s were sophisticated musicians who approached electronic music like it was classical music.
When Madonna released Ray of Light, I was bothered by a lot of the reviews in which many critics wrote that she had done the impossible by making electronic music warm and emotional instead of cold. A lot of trance music affects me emotionally; it can really pick you up and carry you along on an emotional rollercoaster even without any vocals at all.
I'm so happy you gave Madonna a shot and had a great time! This one it's very weak on lyrics, but the production is next level for me.
Some recommendations below, but of course, only if you are interested! Please keep on having fun while making these videos, they're always a joy to watch -- (I support the idea of the club lights on the room!)
As some people commented, Ray of Light might be a good option if you choose to listen to another of her albums (it's my favorite -- but it's just as crazy on the production, so it's reflecting while bopping lol). On Ray of Light she had just had her first child, so there's lyrics about becoming a mother, finding religion and how her fame interferes on her personal time.
But my true recommendation is American Life, the album before Confessions. It's also lyrics-focused and there's some ballads mixed in as well. Lyrics about her disappointment on George W. Bush government, criticism about consumerism, trauma about losing her mother as a child and how this reflects on her relationship with her own children. It's a different look from what we usually think about "Madonna the popstar".
it may seem small but it really means a lot to me that you specified "only if you are interested" thank you so much for being considerate in that way ❤ and that's very helpful info!!
@oifogs As a #1 Madonna fan lol. American Life is my personal fav. The imagery and production of the album all amazing. However and I might be mistaken but the album is not political in its music…at all. The “Disappointed in G.W. Government “??? Yes the video is politically driven and the album artwork but take that away and the album is not political!
Just food for thought!
Thank you ❤💚💜💙💛 Love this reaction. You should do more Madonna please.
16:17...FAVORITE SONG ON THE ALBUM PERIOD... 😮❤
You need to do Ray of Light, it is widely regarded as Madonna's best album and it won 4 Grammys. In my opinion it has some of her best songs like "the power of goodbye, nothing really matters and Ray of light" 🙏🏼
also when u said, she's what 80 now.... I DIED LAUGHING HAHAHAHAHAHAH
Happy you liked it ! But 'Isaac' ??? It's a masterpiece in my opinion. The language at the beginning is hebrew. The vocalist Yitzhak ( Isaac is him ) Sinwani sings a portion of the Yéménite hebrew poem 'Im Nin'alu' )
I love this album so much!! 🕺🕺🕺👯👯👯
The Hung Up instrumental is ABBA “Gimme Gimme Gimme”.
Confessions= Perfection❤❤❤
There is a version of this where all songs transition in each other. If u want the real full experience, check that version out!
Definitely my fav album from Madge
The Hung Up instrumental is a from ABBA ❤
The Queen of Pop! Respect. 👑
Yes to the Dance party bedroom. Do it! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
you didn't get to experience the best part of the album which is the transitions between the songs! this album version is available on youtube
Your descriptions to how you felt were so funny! You should react to the album's live concert.
