Something To Remember

Nu slechts € 9,99 She can dance and she can jive, and most of the time that's why you buy Madonna records. She's our real-life dancing queen. So if buying an album advertised as her ''Greatest Ballad Hits'' strikes you as sort of like buying acoustic Abba, you're probably not alone. But ever since TRUE BLUE, Madonna has displayed a keen interest in pop orchestration and smoky, soulful singing. On the breakthrough ''Live To Tell'', she discovered the low end of her vocal range, while co-producer and co-writer Patrick Leonard built a psychedelic swell of keyboards, guitars and sound effects around her. It was like nothing she had done before, dealing directly with dark secrets, foreshadowing an adult pop sound that she'd stick by through all the twists, turns and trends that followed. SOMETHING TO REMEMBER collects such slow and mid-tempo tracks from the various nooks in which Madonna's hidden them (though most were singles, many had showed up in album form only on soundtracks), and shows off the dark chanteuse qualities that she has only intermittently gotten credit for. Notice the almost Beatlesque harmonies and swooping strings of her 1994 hit ''Take A Bow'', the dream-like feel of the electric piano on the wistful ''This Used To Be My Playground'', or the epic feel of ''Oh Father'', which starts with a dance of classical strings before dipping to a soul-baring vocal about the causes and effects of child abuse. The three new songs on SOMETHING TO REMEMBER are formidable additions to this oeuvre. ''You'll See'', with its Spanish guitar flourishes and lyric about surviving a wrecked affair, is a direct sequel to ''Take A Bow''. ''I Want You'', a Marvin Gaye cover that also appears on the Gaye tribute album INNER CITY BLUES, is a stunning collaboration with UK's Massive Attack, taking Madonna into a trippy, spare realm that sounds like dub with strings. And ''One More Chance'' is, amazingly, almost acoustic Madonna--the dancing queen cast improbably as the strumming princess.
