    "Erotica" is one of the albums that changed the industry. It marks a before and after in the history of music. Thanks to this Madonna album, the favorite female artists of many young people can talk about sex and express themselves freely without being so criticized. "Erotica" became a cult record over the years, and entered the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a revolutionary record.
    Madonna breaking taboos from time immemorial. Iconic! ☆

      And she did with such confidence and class. She was not some bimbo twerking like mad. She was totally doing it on her own terms and in control. And no bad words on any of the sexual songs.
      The personal songs like Bad Girl and In This Life get overlooked too often unfortunately. The album was about so much more than just Sex.

    Erotica was actually considered a flop and had a lot of backlash for the sexual content. This was a huge deal back then when sex was extremely taboo. Till this day madonna has never apologized or regret what she did with this album/era and I’m glad she never did. Also this album did indeed changed pop culture forever.

      Lol sex was just as permeated throughout society as it is today. The 70s was probably the most sexual era in popular culture there was. It was the fact that she made such an aggressively sexual album in the midst of the AIDS scare. People found it to be dangerous and irresponsible. Of course Madonna’s aim was to get people to confront fear, and engage sexuality, if at minimum through fantasy.

I don’t see a difference just cuz Madonna is the one doing it then it should be ‘ accepted ‘ especially that erotica the album was musically great , sensual and she even was mysterious with the lyrics and the double entendres.. the book and the music video for erotica just don’t go with the general atmosphere of the album.. so Madonna did some self sabotage there .. just focusing on ‘ erotica ‘ as a single and failing to show the potential of the album as a whole

    Erotica was slammed when it first came out. But now journalists are even saying how legendary this album is. It sold 7 million albums worldwide wide a lot less the like a virgin, true blue and like a prayer but this was her first experimental album but not her last. She is a true icon, legend of the music industry. Unfortunately Madonna does not get the credit from so many. Hopefully when day she will be credited for the brilliant body of work she has written and produced for her 40 years of music she has created!

    I understand what you are saying, but the songs after rain are so deep, important and meaningful, especially considering the AIDS pandemic we were in. 'Why's it so hard' about love in difficult times like that and marginalizing gays and other minority groups. 'In this life' was about her friend artist Keith Haring who died of AIDS. Secret garden I have learned to love, it's just a beautiful, almost dreamy song about paradise where everything is perfect. Well that's my free interpretation.

    It really can't be understated how important Madonna was to the male gay community during the AIDS epidemic. From her earliest days on the club scene in New York - and throughout the worst days of the epidemic and beyond - it was clear that she was a committed, unwavering ally. And the reason it was clear wasn't only because she spoke out loudly and forcefully on our behalf, but also because she was simultaneously experiencing much of what many of us were going through - if not physically, then certainly emotionally. Her deep immersion in gay culture from the minute she hit New York meant that she understood and cared about us in a way that no other Very Famous Person - pop icon or otherwise - ever had before.
    With this magnificent album (her best imo), she documented for posterity her commitment to and understanding of our community. Throughout those dark days and beyond, she hasn't just been an outspoken supporter of the LGBTQ+ community, but she's celebrated us through her music (and some damned good music at that!). Madonna and her music have been a consistent part of the gay cultural landscape for decades. It's why she means so much to so many of us. And why some of her (cough cough) older gay male fans like myself will never turn our backs on her. (But please M, don't turn out to be a serial killer...we do draw the line :).

    My favorite songs are Bad Girl, Where Life Begins, Rain, Waiting, Deeper And Deeper, Erotica. The whole album is great. I get what you are saying about it ending after Rain because i sometimes stop after that track as well. The final 3 tracks are good but i don't vibe with them quite the same way either. Subject matter is important though on the Girlie Show she really brought them to life.
    Rain is underrated. She was unfortunately experiencing a serious backlash after she put out Erotica as the first single with people saying she had gone to far so airplay was less for the singles of this album than what she was used to. One or two years earlier Rain would have easily gone to #1, in 1993 it had to settle for #14, which is still decent for a fourth single but you know she was used to bigger numbers. Erotica peaked at #3 and Deeper And Deeper at #7. Bad Girl is her best video, you have to check it out. The song unfortunately peaked only inside the top 40.
    Nowadays Erotica is praised by fans and critics though as a dark masterpiece and one of the most revolutionary album of all time.

      It didn't sell well for "Madonna Standarts".
      I remember reading an article on an European Magazine like 6 months after the album was released saying the album was a failure as it have sold "only" 4 million by then worldwide.
      Right beside it on the other page was another article about how Kylie Minogue latest studio album being as huge success for selling 2 million worldwide after about 1 year since its release (at the time Kylie Minogue was already the 2nd most female successful artist of all time in UK and Australian charts).
      So if this had been released by any other female artists and sold that much would have been considered a success.
      Today the album already crossed 7 million sales (probably even more as Warner doesn't update sales for long) and it will certainly hit 10 million one day. 😊

      @German Morawski yeah! At first some did thought that (especially in US). But as new singles were released the image of the album changed a bit (especially with "Rain") but Madonna wasn't interested on that just yet as the tour was also pushing bounderies (her Girlie Show Tour) - even at MTV Awards she decided to present a very sexual "Bye Bye Baby" instead of a toned down "Rain" or much fun mainstream song like "Deeper and Deeper".

    I love this album. I was in my 20's when it came out and have so many great memories associated with many of the tracks. My absolute favorite is Deeper and Deeper. I actually didn't care much for Rain if you can believe it but the video is stunning. You should definitely check it out!

    Madonna really got experimental with this... still love when she does her throwbacks to her own previous work: "This is not a Love Song" with Bye Bye Baby, and "Let your body move to the music, let your body go with the flow" with Deeper and Deeper, not to mention the sonic throwbacks too

    Justify My Love should have been on this album, but it was released as a teaser prior to this album on a greatest hits. Her second and biggest controversial video of all time. It was Lenny Kravitz’s first Grammy win. He wrote, produced and did background vocals for JML.

    Hi, Taylor, I am completely enjoying your Madonna deep dive and am wishing these are weekly uploads rather than monthly! I am curious about what your thoughts on Madonna were before you started to review her discography. How knowledgeable of her body of work were you? Did you only hear a sporadic song of hers here and there? Your opinion of her albums seems very good. Just curious if that was the case before you started the deep dive? Looking forward to you RAINing down more Madonna reactions! 😉

    I predicted your reaction to Rain. I figured your head would explode. The tension in the song is amazing. Be careful when you watch the Rain video. It'll happen all over again when you watch the visual. You also look EXACTLY like one of the men in the video. When you reached out your hand, I said to myself "He's channeling the Friggin Video without even knowing it"!

  • @leonjorgh
    @leonjorgh Před 2 lety +9

    I love you for loving the album that changed my life! this record is a message about a difficult time for alot of people, Madonna saw a personal struggle and an universal pain and she did a perfect picture to encapsulate what was going on, I feel most of my favorite albums between 1988 and 1993 does that, like George Michael's Listen without Prejudice or Pet Shop Boys' Behaviour. Oh!! and also I'm pretty excited to see your reaction to the rest of the 90's! I hope that you also react to "Something To Remember" that is a compilation but it felt like a completely new album at the time!

  • @tresbien233

    This album is my favorite album of hers. I felt guilty when I listened to it because of the backlash Madonna suffered after releasing it. I re discovered it years later as a grown man, and I think it's one hell of an album.

    This album was supposed to be a look at relationships in a post-AIDS epidemic world, hence why there’s so many topics lyrically. I feel like this album was the first where she reinvented herself sonically. A lot of people hated it when it was released, as she had just released her Sex book, and she got a lot of backlash that hurt her career. Now it’s considered to be groundbreaking within popular culture, and is a fan favorite. From now on, expect each Madonna album to be a significant departure from the last.

  • @burstthroughtheconcrete
    @burstthroughtheconcrete Před 2 lety +5

    So happy you gave this album a chance. It's incredibly underrated. At the time of its release it was slammed by critics left and right. It was such a musical departure for Madonna on so many levels, a lot of people didn't want to give it a chance. Now, some of those same critics have given the record a listen again ("Rolling Stone", "NME", to name a couple) and have given the album its due credit. It's not an album full of one mega blockbuster pop track after another, but it's such a great concept album and she pays it off with so many terrific musical interpretations. Love the album, it's in my top three from her. Not that I would ever compare it musically to 'Kid A' from Radiohead, but similar to 'Kid A', it was a new chapter of musical experimentation from Radiohead that not everyone "got".

    • @burstthroughtheconcrete
      @burstthroughtheconcrete Před 2 lety

  • @TK-cf3xy
    @TK-cf3xy Před 2 lety +7

    You need to watch the music video of “Rain” by one of the best music video directors of all time, Mark Romanek. Erotica is the album that syncs with “infamous then” the “Sex” book, about releasing one’s own fantasy. The sound wise, this album is a sort of extension of Vogue and Justify My Love, another ground breaking song and music video at that time. About the 3D sound you mentioned, she was using Q-sound at that time with Justify My Love and her first best album Immaculate Collection. So she was experimenting the new technology and cutting edge artists like Andre Betts, who produced some of the tracks in this album. I love Erotica and believe Ray of Light definitely comes out of her Erotica experiments. Both are my favorite albums along with her 80s albums.

    Actually I never been a big fan of Rain but watching your reaction I feel like I underappreciated it lol. It indeed is a gorgeous ballad.
    But for me Why's it so hard and In this Life hit so hard.
    Why's it so hard it's the original Born this way in its lyrical content, Madonna should have performed more times that song through her career. It's a BOP and the message keeps on being relevant in 2021.
    And in this life as you said feels so cinematic and it's one of Madonna's most personal songs, it is dedicated to two of Madonna's good friends who died of aids.
