Bitch I’m Madonna 4,678 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 It's a CONCEPT ALBUM. It's an album released by Breathless Mahoney, sort of. Like...a companion album for the film as if the character Breathless Mahoney from the movie released an album. So...to consider it a Madonna studio album would be a BIT of a stretch. It's kind of like Miley Cyrus' albums as Hannah Montana. Matt Barranco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madaboutM 474 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I agree with those saying it's not a "proper" studio album although it technically is! Madonna obviously released it cause she didn't want all that work put to waste after being rejected by the movie production. They were really good, fun songs! So as much as it pains me, we are awaiting for M14, not M15. Turuncan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the oldest and most infamous debate among any fans in the history of recorded music. Raio_05 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayPause 2,675 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 May I remind you that the full title of the album is "I’m Breathless: Music from and Inspired by the Film Dick Tracy" ? So... this topic is kind of pointless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NowRadiate 3,331 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 i love it how the term "concept album" is brought up. essentially, any of her albums is a concept album. they all follow a concept/vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicinferno 3,658 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 To me, it's entirely new album. Only select songs were in the movie and Madonna went to the studio to record more music because she was inspired by the film. The title says it all. If the cover simply just said "Music from the film Dick Tracy" then the argument would be over. I'm Breathless is actually one of my favorite Madonna albums.

Rotzheimberg 1,229 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Album. Defo. And largely underrated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*mlvc* 823 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 It's definitely more of an album than a soundtrack because very little of the music is in the film. Also, this is the only album that Vogue was released on. Nevertheless, Madonna's management doesn't consider it an album and it's "music from and inspired by." I think both sides of the argument has an excellent point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathproof 10,555 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Her marketing team use to count it as an album during the 90's (i'm looking at a Bedtime Stories press release where they state BS as her 7th studio album). M has been in the game for over 30 years, but hasn't released as many albums as other artists that have started around the same time, or less (U2, Depeche Mode, Prince, REM, Mariah, Snoop Dogg, ). So I don't think it's fair at this point in her career to ignore I'm Breathless as if it's not good enough to sit with all her other albums. We as fans should consider it, as a talented musician that she's always been. And give it the recognition it's been missing for several decades.

LikeAMelody 728 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I can't believe this is a thing. I'm Breathless is not one of "her studio albums." It is not one of the crown jewels that make up her 13 own, personal reflections on life and love, working through emotions and thoughts.... I'm Breathless is a gem all on it's own. The feelings and thoughts are there and so is Madonna. She's definately there but she's playing a charactor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best thing I think she does in "acting" is getting to the core of a charactor's emotions but that is also why I think she is way more successful in Pop music than film. Portraying a whole charactor takes more than just emotional connection. Utimately I think she is reflecting on life and love through a charactor's views hence "I'm Breathless."

It only became an issue once she left Warner Bros. and they could (or would) not agree on the tally of what was considered actual albums and soundtrack albums/songs recorded for movies (Who’s That Girl, Into the Groove, Crazy For You, Evita, etc.) Also, Dick Tracy already has a soundtrack album that includes songs from k.d. lang and other artists. So for me, I’m Breathless will always be a studio album. deathproof 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reinvented_0 388 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Madonna was inspired by her Breathless character in the movie, that album is not a soundtrack but an album that was inspired by the movie, and as far as I know most of those songs were written during or after the filming of the movie, I don't think that many of those songs were ever considered to be on the film since she is not a producer or director in that film and by the time Madonna was involved as cast in the movie, the movie had already been decided, written and approved by the people producing it and the movie studio, etc.she was just Inspired by her character. boytoy77 and madgefan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Jean 15,114 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I consider it one of her albums but I can see why some may not. Even though it is not the actual soundtrack it is very much connected to the film and part of its merchandising the same way Beyoncé’s Lion King inspired album was a part of the Lion King franchise. The songs on a film soundtrack are not always necessarily in the movie eg I believe the Chicago soundtrack had songs not included in the movie. Im Breathless even has the name of the film and a Dick Tracy logo on the cover. So it’s definitely tied to the film. Vogue I feel was only added for the sake of it, I don’t believe for a second Pat Leonard is correct that it was written for the film and we already know for certain it was written to be the bside of Keep it together anyway. I do believe songs like Back in Business, He’s a Man, Now I’m Following You etc she may have submitted for inclusion in the movie. Hanky Panky I’m not so sure. But if you think about it that song is very reflective of the character in the film so it’s possible. There is also the story that it originally had racier lyrics and Disney made her tone it down but I don’t know if that story is actually true. As for Madonna’s own opinion she definitely considers it to be one of her albums however it would not surprise me if she also considered the Evita soundtrack to be one of her albums.

She definetely does NOT consider it a studio album, and she shouldn't cause it's not. It is NEVER mentioned when the her albums are discussed. Any merchandise featuring her studio album ignores I'm Breathless completely. Madame X is her 14th studio album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottyx 8,757 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 To me it is an album. I've never seen it as a soundtrack. I remember when it was released, it was not pushed as a soundtrack at all. Vogue was definitely used to sell it. boytoy77 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
