Erotico

It's my all time favourite - I was 16
 

It's such a non mainstream pop thing.
One of the first CDs I ever bought and the first M album I got the day it came out.
I struggled for a long time with it, some tracks I loved from day 1 and still do (Fever, WLB, BG, WISH, SG), singles that I thought were chaotic upgrades of JML and Vogue but that grew on me with the remixes (Erotica, D&D), fillers or repetitive tracks (BBB,  Waiting, TOH, Words, ITL). Rain is one of her singles that I still don't like really, even if I can obviously sing it by heart. TOH and Words sounded like the worst cheap dance hits of the 90s but I have come to like them recently, because they're fun and bring a cheeky twist to a mostly melancholic and bitter album. In the end, sex is hardly the subject. It's a metaphor and a way to tease the listener into deeper matters : love, life, loneliness and death are all over the record.
She wasn't the über confident, attractive and clichéed 80's chick, nor the crowdpleaser who gained rockstar status with LAP and BAT, she was telling something else and taking a different road.
But the imagery was very sexy. I liked that too. As a 17yo teen, not out as gay yet but already questioning my orientation, unsatisfied with social gender roles, it was important. I'll always remember watching the Erotica video lying highly sedated on a hospital bed, it looked wonderful. (Yes they showed the video on the French charts show in the afternoon)
The whole project was so adventurous and the production sometimes disturbing. I really get where she wanted to go, take on new trends as she did 10 years before with the post-disco / bubbly funk of the first album, and embrace the NYC energy that she liked. Rich songwriting, poetic lyrically, pop for grownups. She has always came back and forth between the simplest tunes and complex concepts, and Erotica pushed the limit even further because she probably wanted to test how far she could go after the huge and controversial success of JML.
She was competing with Michael Jackson (hard-hitting Dangerous), Prince (sexy and groovy Diamonds and Pearls) and George Michael (Listen Without Prejudice, another unspokenly queer album with AIDS looming), not any female artist. That's why I think now it's so ballsy and a tremendous, though uneven opus.

Happy Anniversary Dita! Share your love for this 30th
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Maybe if they release this inspired by the European maxi cd (and please include waiting remix too 🙏🏻)
 because edit 2 was never officially released in the US (except for promos)...

Before Fever was even conceived there was only GTI and its music was switched with the Fever lyrics

Also I guess they used a dub as a b side (Up down suite) because they were going to use GTI for a compilation at that time (Just say Roe).
But still I would consider a cool move (not weird) as giving fans extra new material at the time (old good times...)

I’m so pissed that had the audacity to say “More to come soon”. Why does everything seem so last minute. They can only announce stuff when they have everything ready to go. How is everything not already planned and has release dates. Give us a schedule of what’s to come why is EVERYTHING “expect surprises soon… more to come… soon” Do they really have nothing prepared more than a month out besides FEL

BREAKING NEWS:
The HD remaster of Bad Girl has been privatized to have it premiere during the Erotica album anniversary later on in the day, according to Emily/Johann.
 

That's just for the plastic sleeve

Nah this is fuckin great I’m so happy. I really thought we’d never get some of these on streaming so I’m absolutely over the moon. I’d love the Peggy mix too but whatever. This is Xmas. Deeper and Deeper next methinks. 

Thrilled to finally have Edit One on streaming! 

FNAC shipped!!! 🥳🥳🥳👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Found it! So it didn’t include Edit One

Yes the prices for this are through the roof. I got my copy a few years ago in near mint condition for something like 60 USD

Uh ok, image was blurred 🤣 I was in panic for a moment 🤪

Just found it in local store in Vienna, Austria. 🤩 And my order hasn't shipped yet! 😠

Finally! Weird though since chronologically Deeper had to be out in November!
hopefully we get Fever edit 2 on the rain ep...?

Thanks so much 🤗

After I Found Love: #1’s Remixed, and Rebel Heart (Demo Assembly), it’s time to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Madonna’s career with a series of remastered EPs !

These EPs will be released chronologically and regularly (2 eras per week) to be enjoyed progressively. Yes, every single era got the same treatment. Let’s continue with the Like a Prayer era. You’ll find the tracklists in the second post right below.
While these remasters were initially done and compiled by myself back in late 2020 – early 2021, new mixes (such as the Finally Enough Love ones) and quality upgrades were taken into account since then and are also present here in remastered form.
