The album opens with HE'S A MAN, a very successful blues number, musically very mysterious and sounding after Thriller, sooner or later, a quiet song with a touch of Blues held, which also appears in the film. He is a distinguished piece, Madonna as a jazz singer in a seedy bar, very interesting implementation! Best Entertainment followed with Hanky Panky, a permissive swing number that is fun. This is followed by the ironic songs I'm going BANANAS and CRY that sound like little experiments along the lines of "Just For Fun". The intensive and atmospherically dense ballad SOMETHING TO REMEMBER adds to vocally a top performance! BACK IN BUSINESS is a faster and more funky number, in the style of hanky panky, but again forms a different atmosphere and takes the listener quite a seedy short trip. MORE is a very big song in ragtime style, sometimes ironically presented, but partly also thoughtful. One feels absolutely in the 30s Revue demonstrations in New York and Chicago in offset an incredibly strong song! WHAT CAN YOU LOSE is a beautiful sad ballad, which is sung by Madonna and Mandy Patinkin as a duet. NOW I'M FOLLOWING YOU follows, a duet with Warren Beatty, Madonna's then lover. The song can be found in two parts on the album, in the first two soulful singing in harmony and in the second the whole thing sounds like a Pop-Remix of all, here you realize now, that's you again arrived in the '90s. Now comes a song that has to do with the style of the album only slightly: VOGUE, a maximum of Madonna's songs of all time, who was downright groundbreaking and, so to speak, the House era has started 90. An absolute world success was with this song and the train number of the album he was naturally well placed ...
With I'M BREATHLESS Madonna was taking a great risk, but which is also her successful. She had the critical acclaim safe and was able to prove that you have to take it seriously as an artist again. This album shows a different side of the Madonna, while still runs an erotic guide through the perfectly produced songs!
