That doesn't mean I think it's ruining her legacy or whatever. While Vulgar is not for me, I don't have a problem with it existing at all and these collabs are a good strategy. Vulgar is a lot more wooden than the typical Charli track. Somebody compared it to Shake It, which is not my favorite Charli song but Vulgar doesn't really have the sonic playfulness and variety of a Charli trash bop like Shake It or Delicious or I Got It. And like I said, I think Charli would have more fun with it in terms of the production. But it might also be true because frankly Charli inhabits just for fun bops better than Madonna typically does. Earlier in the thread there was a comment about how people would be more into Vulgar if Charli was on it and that might be true. People tend to prefer her deeper side and I don't think there's anything wrong with that as long as said people don't try to encroach on her artistic agency. I think heavyish/thoughtful plays more to her strengths though and that was one reason Madame X was more well received critically than the three that came before it (and there clearly was just more effort put in).

And I'm not saying it has to all be deep. She can do better and she has done better. Like I said, I thought there was a lot to like lyrically on Madame X and she can still turn a cool phrase when she wants to ("Platinum gold/Inside your soul") and Rebel Heart had some good lyrics when it wasn't busy being bottom of the barrel (for every Living For Love, there was unfortunately an Iconic) but this was the woman who wrote Spanish Eyes, Promise To Try, Sanctuary, etc (I really can go on). As much as I adore her, it's pretty obvious. Unfortunately, her lyricism has been a bit low effort after American Life. She's an inconsistent songwriter who sometimes puts in the effort lyrically and sometimes doesn't. She wouldn't be celebrated to the extent she is if that were true.
Here, we rank all 14 tracks on an iconic album that forever sexed-up pop music.Click to expand.Yeah, I just don't think Vulgar is particularly worth retconning Madonna's songwriting as always having been unsubtle and lacking of wit. 1 peaks reached by then-recent previous singles “This Used to Be My Playground,” “Justify My Love” and “Vogue.”īut 30 years later, it’s abundantly clear that Erotica paved the way for other pop divas - from Janet Jackson to Beyoncé to Christina Aguilera - who were willing to get their freak on. 7 hit “Deeper and Deeper” – some felt that was a disappointment compared to the No. And while four of its singles were top 40 hits on the Hot 100 – including the No. 2 on the Billboard 200, making it her first studio LP since her self-titled debut not to reach the pole position on that chart. The album was not as big of a hit as its predecessor, the blockbuster Like a Prayer, peaking at No.
Enlisting “Vogue” producer Shep Pettibone and “Justify My Love” producer André Betts, she continued to push boundaries - and buttons - liberating her creativity as well as her sexuality. 20, 1992 - in tandem with her scandalous Sex book, a coffee table tome featuring Isabella Rossellini, Naomi Campbell, Big Daddy Kane, Vanilla Ice, Tatiana von Fürstenberg and others - the LP showed that Madonna’s artistic ambitions were only getting bigger after the heights of 1989’s Like a Prayer.
There are Madonna albums with more hits ( True Blue) and others with more critical acclaim ( Ray of Light), but Erotica - the Queen of Pop’s fifth studio album - was a game-changing classic that found her at the peak of her powers as a pop provocateur.
