My review of Madonna’s ‘Rebel Heart’ album will be posted when it’s officially released tomorrow, but for now a brief look back at the woman who has inspired me more than anyone else in the world. There’s always something special about a new Madonna album, and every time it happens I feel the same excitement and electricity in the air. Though this one was muted slightly by early leaks, I can’t help but get caught up in the spirit as we anticipate tomorrow.
Madonna has released thirteen studio albums (not counting soundtracks or greatest hits collections) in her stellar career:
- Madonna – 1983
- Like A Virgin – 1984
- True Blue – 1986
- Like A Prayer – 1989
- Erotica – 1992
- Bedtime Stories – 1994
- Ray of Light – 1998
- Music – 2000
- American Life – 2003
- Confessions on a Dancefloor – 2005
- Hard Candy – 2008
- MDNA – 2012
- Rebel Heart – 2015
My favorite remains 1998’s ‘Ray of Light’ for reasons that have as much to do with the music as with whatever nonsense was going on in my life at the time. Madonna means something different to everyone, but you can’t say she doesn’t matter. In the end, isn’t that what we all want? To matter? Tomorrow, we see what her ‘Rebel Heart’ reveals…
