The Confessions Tour is the second live album by American singer and songwriter Madonna. It was released on January 26, 2007 by Warner Bros. Records. Directed by Jonas Åkerlund, the album chronicles Madonna's 2006 Confessions Tour and includes the full version of the television broadcast special The Confessions Tour: Live from London. It was recorded at Wembley Arena during the London dates of the tour, and was released in both CD and DVD format…
Includes a dozen of the most influential, controversial and entertaining videos the world has ever seen: Lucky Star, Borderline, Cherish, Express Yourself, Material Girl, Vogue, Like a Prayer and more with a special bonus performance of Vogue at the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards.
Madonna's Ciao Italia: Live From Italy captures a performance from her 1988 world tour and features hits like "Lucky Star," "True Blue," "La Isla Bonita," "Like a Virgin," and "Material Girl." A much simpler, less choreographed performance than her later extravaganzas like The Girlie Show, Ciao Italia is still entertaining in its own right, and will definitely please fans nostalgic for some old-school Madonna hits.
Given the cold shoulder Madonna's 2003 album American Life received by critics and audiences alike – it may have gone platinum, but apart from the Bond theme “Die Another Day,” released in advance of the album, it generated no new Top Ten singles (in fact, its title track barely cracked the Top 40) – it's hard not to read its 2005 follow-up, Confessions on a Dance Floor, as a back-to-basics move of sorts: after a stumble, she's returning to her roots, namely the discos and clubs where she launched her career in the early '80s…
True Blue is the album where Madonna truly became Madonna the Superstar – the endlessly ambitious, fearlessly provocative entertainer who knew how to outrage, spark debates, get good reviews – and make good music while she's at it…
Most pop stars reach a point where they accept the slow march of time, but not Madonna. Time is Madonna's enemy – an enemy to be battled or, better still, one to be ignored. She soldiers on, turning tougher, harder, colder with each passing album, winding up with a record as flinty as MDNA, the 2012 record that is her first release since departing Warner for Interscope…
Erotica is the fifth studio album by American singer and songwriter Madonna. It was released on October 20, 1992, by the Maverick and Warner Bros. Records. The album was released simultaneously with Madonna's first book publication, Sex, a coffee table book containing explicit photographs featuring the singer…
American singer, entertainer, songwriter, actress, director and businesswoman. Madonna achieved popularity by pushing the boundaries of lyrical content in mainstream popular music and imagery in her music videos. Referred to as the "Queen of Pop", Madonna is often cited as an influence by other artists…
Something to Remember is Madonna's second greatest-hits collection, compiling a selection of the singer's ballads. Several of her biggest hits are included, including the number ones "Crazy for You," "Live to Tell," "This Used to Be My Playground," and "Take a Bow," as well as a handful of first-rate album tracks (a remixed "Love Don't Live Here Anymore," "Something to Remember," and three new tracks, most notably a version of Marvin Gaye's "I Want You" recorded with the British trip-hop group Massive Attack…
Returning to pop after a four-year hiatus, Madonna enlisted respected techno producer William Orbit as her collaborator for Ray of Light, a self-conscious effort to stay abreast of contemporary trends. Unlike other veteran artists who attempted to come to terms with electronica, Madonna was always a dance artist, so it's no real shock to hear her sing over breakbeats, pulsating electronics, and blunted trip-hop beats…
