      Make sure you don't miss "You'll See" before you dive into Ray of Light. It's one of her most beautiful ballads of all time and was released as a new song in her compilation album Something to Remember. It's a song that you should NOT miss. 😃

And amazingly, the next night, Madonna sang Live and so powerful, her voice destroyed Mariah and Whitney for all eternity.

    With this album, especially "Take a bow" the american public was already beginning to forgive Madonna for her "Erotica" era of music. "Take a bow" is one of Madonna's best ballads. And the song dominated the "Billboard Hot 100" chart, for 7 weeks it was at number 1.
    By the way, the album "Bedtime Stories" was the bridge of what would be "Ray of light". I want to see your reaction to "Ray of light" Madonna's album that is considered by many music critics and the general public as her great masterpiece.
    "Frozen" is still my favorite song of hers and it has gone viral on Tiktok in the last few months.

    After Bedtime Stories she released Something To Remember. Although it's a compilation of ballads, there are 4 new songs and also a bunch of songs that were not on any of her previous albums. You should do that one next because it really showcases her voice in a very different way, since all the songs are ballads.

    Oh that’s Babyface himself! Great vocal performance from both of them with nicely simple stage! I’m glad Madonna got some confidence back with this big hit because anti-Madonna or Madonna-is-over atmosphere was all over at that time after Erotica/Sex Book. She gained her mass popularity back with this mellow ballad by the star producer Babyface. Now I can’t wait for Ray of Light reaction soon! My fav No.1 album by Madonna!

      You're right, Rain was a huge hit here in Australia (and other countries) while Take a bow was a modest hit. In the US it's the other way around! TAB got a lot of airplay here, so it's well known anongst my generation, but our charts are based on sales alone, and it didn't sell enough to crack the top 10 (it reached around #16 if I remember correctly)
