Madonna more than contemporary - a classic

Whatever one may say about Madonna, there is little artists of their magnitude, which have consequently musical skinned again and reoriented.
So the artist has clearly smelled the scent marks of trip-hop, as their first-nineties work "Erotica" has arisen. What there is placed a little and looks half-baked 1994 adds to "Bedtime Stories" one of the best albums of their career.
Even with the beguiling single "Secret" she sets the pace: supple rhythms between hip-hop and trip-hop, to a relaxed production with vibrant basses, guitars and differentiated flattering background vocals. And especially good melodies, catchy hooks - songs that go into your ear and settle there for long periods. Small groove monster as "human nature" or "I'd rather be your lover" (presumably with the coolest and Rap shortest ever) alternate with luxurious ballads that never drift into kitsch. Production controls add a little low-fi and so reinforces the intimate appeal of the songs.
Vocally she tries never more than they can, and the lyrics are partly of exquisite stupidity ("I could be your sister, I could be your mother
We could be friends, I'd even be your brother) that Madonna only have to forgive in this form and remember in their disarming simplicity of their first album.
The essence of the trip-hop finds with "Santuary", a flawless pearl, and Björk (!) Beigesteurten theme song, who seems to have fallen from another planet on the album. And grace that which is not timely is the volume control, because in the end comes the schmaltzy "Take a bow" which, although with his ballad Klingelklangelsound add a veritable sticky ear candy, but has not to look at this album. But we grant the Diva this small pivoting toward the mainstream on an album that was not only at the level of his time, but sounds still fried classic and to the point.
