Erotica album is a masterpiece, a real diamond but trap in deep sea below. No singer are dare to explore about sex but Madonna does in her own way and express through this album. During 90's everybody was shock including media and turn down this idea. As truly masterpiece this album survive and fit any era.
It's just a pity it took everybody 10 years to realise just what a great piece of work the album is. I think it was that jump from pop music to club music and a more mature sound in general. ♥️♥️
I know I'm late to the party on this comment but, wasn't Andre Betts not some way involved in Justify my Love? I seems like some people don't always get credit in the notes. Like Tony Shinkin who was involved in the production of most the tracks on Erotica. He was given the choice to have a producer credit and he selected Deeper and Deeper because he knew it was going to be a single and he thought it was a big pop song and unlike the rest of the album it sounded most like old skool pop Madonna. ❤️❤️🌈🌈
The piano, the saxo, the feeling of lost somehow and sadness ... quality all over, exquisite production and arrangements ... i miss that Madonna. Take a chance to listen the instrumental version is an eargasm 🤩
It's not fair that people can't understand the real meaning of this album,it's so beyond sex,it's about sex too but has so many important back meanings about friendship,predudice,angry,right humans,aids,so many issues ahead of his time
The acid jazz touches she revisits in Secret Garden on the same album. I don’t think she’s been as sexual since Erotica. That album, the book, and the Body of Evidence movie I think she got it all out of her system. The public was not having her at this point in general. Her most misunderstood work and it’s so funny.
A punk alternative kid firmly in that scene and lifestyle - the Erotica album gave me a new perspective on Madonna and I've been a dedicated fan since. An artist of that caliber, of superstar stature didn't have to nor would have publish a book like SEX - She did, it was ballsy...and i admire her for that. Once again she changed musical direction, resulting in a masterpiece of an album. Less than half the album has sexual innuendo tracks, maybe more than just innuendo on this track. The trifecta of book, album and movie, Body of Evidence, along with the banned Erotica video and intensely negative press played a part in not allowing the album to be heard and sell like every album of hers before it. I remember asking DJs in underground clubs to play erotica - it took a lot of pleading sometimes but that song would always pack a dance floor. Favorite tracks - Erotica, Deeper and Deeper, Thief of Hearts and Bad Girl.I suggestion watching the Bad Girl, Deeper and Deeper, Rain and the uncensored Erotic video for visuals that compliment the album.
I loved almost all of it, apart from a couple towards the end. Favourites after a couple of listens: In This Life, Bye Bye Baby, Secret Garden and Deeper And Deeper
@@bridgethegapreactions I think a lot of people miss the loss aspect of this album. A sharp contrast to the sex and fun. The Girlie Show tour is a must watch as it was around this time. Secret Garden is also one of my favorites. All the ones you mentioned are wonderful. You should eventually hear some of her maxi singles. Erotica especially from around this time. Even if you start with a mix or two. Deeper and Deeper has some amazing mixes also. I am not a fan of remixes usually but I make an exception for her, Deee-Lite, and original 80s and some 90s remixes.
This album is interesting because aside from a few tracks, the majority of songs are not explicit in nature. If anything, the songs are about love and heartbreak. What is hilarious is if you just read the song titles, the album sounds like it will be filthy. Who would guess subject matter for "Why's it so Hard" from the title alone lol?
Erotica remains from the day I listened to it till now one of my favorite albums ever. 30 years have passed since I bought it and I still can’t get enough.
@5:03 "Aren't you glad we came" ("Oh my God, Oh my God") @5:13 "I think it's beginning to rain" ("So good"). I'm going to add Johnny's spoken words to my edited version of this song. Just perfect. In my opinion, no, she's not done anything with this combination of cleverness, humor, sexually suggestiveness since. "Holy Water" and "S.E.X" from Rebel Heart album (2015) are male ED compared to Life.
another beautiful Madonna photo choice. I think this was Harper’s Bizarre in Dolce and Gabanna. I have this magazine❤ Just joined the Patreon you got me with this full album reaction already🎉
Thank you, I'm looking forward to seeing what people think of the album. It's such a major piece of work, I can only assume all the sex (and 'Sex') stuff obscured its qualities
@@bridgethegapreactions for sure. You have to eventually see her on SNL doing Bad Girl and Fever. Also the video for Fever had an even better version called Edit One, which is on the Rain Single.
@@taintedlife2618 Edit One and the other Fever remixes have just been released digitally together with the Bad Girl EP ten days ago, and last Friday the Deeper And Deeper EP as well... :)
My favorite Madonna album. I love the album "deep cuts" such as this one, Secret Garden, Why's it so Hard. I love the artwork on the album, the dark blues, the foldout lyric page (which was big for the time). I used to pour over the lyrics, what studio the song was recorded in, who wrote the songs, etc. Such an overlooked and misunderstood album in her catalog. Almost a "forgotten" album due to all the controversy during this period. "This Used to be my Playground" is yet another forgotten song from around the same or near this period...
The string melody on this chorus is virtually identical to the following year's Celine Dion song "Everybody's Talkin' My Baby Down". I don't know if anyone else can hear it, but that part of Celine's song always reminded me of this. Probably both came from a common source.
It was one of her best albums….. basic with a thirst, spices, fresh…music, lyrics, fashion, visual, her life all the planets were aligned for Madonna…. the song was great…. It was sexual, I got what it was about just with the opening line….. and linger licking good….ummmhhhh…. One my favorite songs.
You pay attention way too more in the lyric content BUT i highly recommend to listen the instrumental version, for me is such a ride: the piano, the saxo, the nights ambience?! and almost an urban touch, jazzy too ... and that feel of nostalgic and possibly lost ... thd quality of the production and detail is superb here 🧏🏻♂️
Madonna was never an outstanding vocalist like Whitney or Mariah, but she had a very captivating voice and well produced songs that matched her personality. That's why she was one of the biggest 80s/90s icons. On the Erotica album she was pretty sexual - especially with "Justify my love'"
@@bridgethegapreactions definitely! Jane Birkin even mentionned it once. Madonna ended up sampling their daughter’s voice on her “What it feels like for a girl” song.
Why would you look up the lyrics of the song first? It’s supposed to be shocking lyrics and your reaction isn’t as genuine because you already have seen them

100%
It is a great album…The album is really about love and loss, not sex.
It's just a pity it took everybody 10 years to realise just what a great piece of work the album is. I think it was that jump from pop music to club music and a more mature sound in general. ♥️♥️
Absolutely love the stuff she did with Andre Betts, really wish she’d done more that three songs with him
Secret Garden is Madonna's eighth wonder.
I live and die for that one.....
Yes! We need more Andre Betts...

Madonnas trip hop album ❤❤❤❤❤
I love anything off of Erotica! Even if it’s humorous and sexy it’s pretty stylish and beautiful.
I loved almost all of it, apart from a couple towards the end. Favourites after a couple of listens: In This Life, Bye Bye Baby, Secret Garden and Deeper And Deeper

I genuinely thought Why's It So Hard was a pun until the song started
This is my favorite song from the erotica album
Damn I LOVE Bad Girl…what a song to folllow that one!
Erotica is such a great album. One of the best!!
My fave on the album
Erotica remains from the day I listened to it till now one of my favorite albums ever. 30 years have passed since I bought it and I still can’t get enough.
I think peoples parents had no idea. I was 15 when this came out. My mom was pretty liberal though. And I was listening to it a lot more at night.
@5:03 "Aren't you glad we came" ("Oh my God, Oh my God")
@5:13 "I think it's beginning to rain" ("So good").
I'm going to add Johnny's spoken words to my edited version of this song. Just perfect.
In my opinion, no, she's not done anything with this combination of cleverness, humor, sexually suggestiveness since. "Holy Water" and "S.E.X" from Rebel Heart album (2015) are male ED compared to Life.
That would actually work well
Love the shadow dancing in the background. Perfect for the music!
Oh my god! “Love tried to welcome me” , but I’m poor 😢😩😭, maybe you put this one here on you tube later,🙏🥺
Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽🙂!
Same the álbum talking about sex,it's so soft,classy and smooth,sofistication all around

Best track off the album. Listen to it all the time! I was 12 when it came out lol

“Holy water” is the X rated version of “Where Life Begins”
Dla mnie, to sens 😊 Erotica.
You’re fabulous 👍💙👊zane
She has a way with her delivery that sucks the listener in.
soooooooooo goood!!!!!1!
She's sooo fucking funny. Love love love this song. Brilliant.

This song was about sex oral. It's spent many years to like this song, until i hear the instrumental. This song have a good instrumental.
If this was a single, I would be very curious about the music video to compliment it;-)
I loved your referencing Serge Gainsbourg, my idol ⭐️
He's great, I listened to him a lot in my 20s. I bet Madonna did too!
@@bridgethegapreactions definitely! Jane Birkin even mentionned it once. Madonna ended up sampling their daughter’s voice on her “What it feels like for a girl” song.
Madonna is a genious! Even Beyonce knows that. ❤️🥰
Great song, great album. Lost masterpiece in her catalogue
Hello... Johnny. Would you be so kind to do a reaction video to a Madonna megamix? [Jun 26 '23]
You are cute ☺️
Why would you look up the lyrics of the song first? It’s supposed to be shocking lyrics and your reaction isn’t as genuine because you already have seen them
