The Immaculate Collection

Product Information

The undertones of hot, pulsating funk on the playful 'Express Yourself' ( which she co-wrote with Steve Bray) proved that Madonna hadn't lost her impeccable touch for making great, infectious, jamming dance music. AllMusic senior editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that the album "remains a necessary purchase, because it captures everything Madonna is about and it proves that she was one of the finest singles artists of the '80s. Written by Madonna and Steve Wray (both of whom also produced), the inspiration behind the song was the dance floor, Madonna writing it after watching a handsome Puerto Rican man, across her balcony.

The lyrics deal with teenage pregnancy and abortion which quickly caused controversy shortly after its release. Well, actually some of the songs we changed up a bit, but most of the songs we kept in their original form.This revisionist approach offered nearly as much as a studio album in terms of consistency and sound quality, with all but two of the seventeen songs contained herein enhanced with Q-Sound audio technology.

The remix was just really to create the QSound, and make the song kind of envelop you when you listened to it in a certain sweet spot in front of the speakers [. The album reached number two on the US Billboard 200 chart, while topping the charts in Argentina, Australia, Canada, Finland, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. Following the completion of the 1990 Blond Ambition World Tour, Madonna began preparing the project aimed to be released in time for the year's Christmas season. Pepsi dropped its adverts that featured her in this clip, Catholics denounced her, and the video was banned from TV after just one screening. Prior to its release as a single, "Rescue Me" started receiving airplay in the radios as an album cut.All of them were reworked using QSound by Pettibone, alongside Goh Hotoda and Michael Hutchinson within a month and a half. Little bit of trivia for you that I only recently learned about this song: In its instrumental form, it was first offered to Michael Jackson! The second new song, "Rescue Me", is a dance-pop and gospel- house track written and produced by Madonna and Pettibone. Consistently excellent, with no throw-outs, this is the definitive compilation to own if, like me, you're still a sucker for Madonna's old-skool classics. In doing so, she would reach yet another milestone, achieving a worldwide blockbuster that revived interest in her catalogue and would go on to become the best-selling compilation by a solo artist.
