Borderline.

Never, ever tire of hearing that song.

Also love Live To Tell and This Used To Be My Playground.

Listening to original Like a Prayer album for the first time
well, ever. Weirdly I have never even thought of her having albums before Erotica, which I realise seems a bit crazy but in the 80s her songs were just everywhere - in fact she has two separate Wikipedia pages for discography, one for singles and one for albums.

Anyway it’s a really good album, although it’s incredible how there’s not even an attempt to make the Prince song sound like it belongs to the rest of it. Ha.

Ray of Light is one of my favourite albums of all time, she has loads of bangers aside from that, too. She’s been very miss since Confessions on a Dancefloor, but Living for Love was great. Hope her new album’s a return to form.

Me neither - listening back to it (I wasn’t old enough when it first came out) and it definitely seems like a musical example of that “what’s up, my fellow kids” meme

I don’t really recall popular music by the youth being much like this in 1998? I mean it’s not exactly an original sound but has more in common with Simply Red’s Fairground or Cher’s Believe so it’s sort of squarely in that ‘ageing middle-class dance music’ demographic. (Not my sort of sound TBH but I recall liking Frozen a lot off the same album.)

I absolutely detest the effects they add to vocals in pop music nowadays.
It’s not going to date well either.

And yes, I do realise I’m an old man shouting about young people’s music.

I used to love Madonna, but it seems like a very long time ago.
