No one utilized these sources as shrewdly as Madonna, whose 1983 self-titled debut still sounds sharp 15 years later. A CBGB-era band waif who also loved the N.Y. dance club scene, Madonna Ciccone brought the brash, self-determining ethos of punk rock to the ecstastic melodic lift of Chic-style dance music. That other N.Y. sex symbol, Debbie Harry of Blondie, also had her biggest hits ("Heart Of Glass," "Rapture") when she flirted with disco and rap, but a winking flirtation is all it remained. Her reputation as a master of imagemaking notwithstanding, Madonna never had much use for irony. Songs like the soulful "Borderline" and the celebratory "Holiday" were heartfelt stabs at commercial pop success in which the singer never condescends to the listener. Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers produced her next album, and the rest is history. Editorial Reviews Rolling Stone (11/01/1989) Q (07/01/2001) Rolling Stone (11/01/1989) | |||||||||||||

Report this review  Something old for someone new...1 of 2 people found this review helpful. In 2000 Madonna's first three albums were remastered and reissued with their original artwork. This explains why this reissue features the black and white photographs and the original self-title of the first 1983 issue. Now, 20-odd years later some of the songs - most notably the singles still sound fresh, although one or two album tracks haven't aged well and sound very 1980s. That aside, every pop tune has been designed to make people get up and do their thing, and there's no ballad to slow things down. Lyrically, the songs vary from the joy of a celestial boyfriend (Lucky Star) to the promiscuity of Burning Up and Physical Attraction. The downside with all three reissues is the lack of imagination. On each album two extended mixes of singles are stuck on the end like a last-minute idea. In this case, Burning Up and Lucky Star, which wouldn't have been my personal choice for remixes anyway. Still, these reissues are cheaper now and provide a good starting point if you're looking for Madonna's back catalogue. Review ID: 10000000002783048 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
