The 30 best songs from Madonna

30. “True Blue”.

A rockabilly song as color theory. Madonna Explains us that there is only one color that is important in rock’n’roll, jeans, boys, girls: all blue (from: “True Blue, 1986).

29. “Paradise (not for me”)

Mirwais already put this epic on lost love on his “Production” album. The Frenchman’s striking “zipper sound” of the Frenchman takes a back seat in favor of spherical areas. (from “Music”, 2000).

28. “Justify my love”.

The “Funky Drummer” sample, Madonna’s erotic singing, which is used in 1990, looks somewhat antiquated. Why is the song so hypnotic? And why is Lenny Kravitz suddenly such a great background singer? (Single, 1990).

27. “Little Star”.

Madonna sings a lullaby for her two -year -old daughter, producer William Orbit lets it punch and bubble. Typical, his underwater music (from: “Ray of Light, 1998).

26. “Something to Remember”.

One of the few usable pieces from the “Dick Tracy” soundtrack “I’m Breathless”. Jazz, in which Madonna is very back. Here the shape is somewhat more important than the content (from “I’m Breathless”, 1990).

25. “The Power of Goodbye”.

The song supposedly deals with the separation of Sean Penn. This meditation about the loss of a loved one is definitely the strongest ballad on the album (from: “Ray of Light”, 1998).

24. “Dance2Night”.

The piece produced by Timbaland and Justin Timberlake celebrates the dance as an expression of the overcoming class. Sounds simple? But also has a great rhythm. (from: Hard Candy, 2008).

23. “I love New York”.

Two things: Perhaps the best anti-Bush song at all: “Just go to Texas, isn’t that where they golf?”. And an assembly song for New York to Nine Eleven. (From: Confessions on a Dancefloor, 2005).

22. “Ray of Light”.

“Ray of Light” was her comeback after almost ten years of criticism: Producer William Orbit set up a club sound that sounded after New Age, drops of water and wind. Madonna has never been as easy as here (from: “Ray of Light”, 1998).

21. “Devil Pray”.

“And we can do Drugs. And we can smoke weed. We can drink whiskey” – “But if you wanna save your soul, that we could travel all together. Make the devil pray”. Behind the-quite reserved-Avicii production, Madonna addresses an important concern to her today: it can also be done without drugs. And this does not even require a reliable awakening experience. (From: “Rebel Heart”, 2015).
