Not only that but her songwriting ability is clear. Madonna was never going to turn into a nun but, rather than push even further, Take a Bow is a gorgeous and hugely memorable hit that makes you root for this heartbroken heroine. Those tracks and incredible but, as Madonna attracted so much controversy when they were released, she needed to react and show there was more to her than met the eye. Listen to that and compare it with tracks such as Justify My Love and Erotica. That song, to me, is the most important of her career. Madonna needed to fan some of the flames – as such, songs like Take a Bow show real heart and soul. There are some raw and teasing moments on Bedtime Stories – not least Human Nature a song that jabs critics who slagged Madonna off for being ‘human’ – and the album has a more mature and balanced sound. Few expected her to make another album not least one that answered her critics and evolved her music to another level. Of course, if a male band had acted like this and pushed boundaries they’d be celebrated and sell venues out: the fact Madonna was a woman meant she was being targeted and singled out.ġ992 was a year where Madonna courted a lot of press – a lot of it was negative or critical. Many felt Madonna had gone too far and that her sexual nature was pushing things her art was more about shocking people than creating great music. Throw into the mix the fact Madonna released her Sex book right as Erotica came out and, to be fair, a lot of eyes were opened! By today’s standards, Sex and Erotica are not especially explicit – Madonna definitely influenced artists of the future and opened doors. It is an underrated album that gained a lot of unwarranted criticism. 1992’s Erotica is often seen as a cold album that talks about sex in a distant and emotionless way. Madonna’s music was becoming more confident and daring her songs were electrifying but she was mature as well as provocative. After the success that came Madonna’s way after 1989’s Like a Prayer, she was on top of the world and slaying her peers. In order to understand why Bedtime Stories is so pivotal, one must look back at Madonna’s output in 1992. It is an album I have wanted to put into Vinyl Corner for a while and, as it turns twenty-five on 25th October, it seems like a good moment to look ahead and show why the album is still important today. To me, it is the moment she cemented herself as the Queen of Pop and silenced a lot of critics. Is the best but, when it comes to her most important, few can deny the role of Bedtime Stories.
