One you might not expect.
Madonna - I'm breathless.
I ignored the album for years. Thought it was the soundtrack for the movie Dick Tracy. Only, I think, one song from the movie.
Did some reading and found she was simply inspired by music from the 30's.
Two things...
Remarkably high quality recording.
Madonna can sing! Who knew?
This album actually will make you grin from time to time. Listen to the song "Hanky Panky" - it is Madonna at her best. Delightfully tawdry! It is easy to forget the fact that Madonna has a true sense of humor. It is all over this album.
Rarely do I say listen to the whole album. This one is a true exception. Start to finish it is a riot and a sonic delight. Btw.... This album ends with the most unexpected song- Vouge. We ALL know that one. Funny after all these years I never thought about where that song came from. It was just ... there... and from that point forward, never went away.
I was surprised (sort of) that when I was looking up info on this album, quite a few people agree with me in regards to the high quality of the recording .
Anyway, I have enjoyed the crap out of this album!
