シェップ・ペティボーンによるNYアンダーグラウンド的なエロティシズム漬けイメージから脱却し,まるで教会の懺悔室で聖職者たちに寝物語をきかせているような,穏やかだけど意味深で,改心を装った新手のエロティシズムを生み出している。したたかだね。
From Amazon.co.uk
On this, her seventh album proper, Madonna once again shows that one of her greatest talents is her ability to choose collaborators who bring the best out of her. This time around, the producers and co-writers include Bjork, Nellee Hooper (Massive Attack/Soul II Soul) and swing deities Dallas Austin & Babyface (who, amongst a myriad of credits, were the men behind TLC's
CrazySexyCool). Mellower in the most part than her previous work, the album includes the usual handful of hits in "Secret", "Human Nature", the title track, and "Take A Bow", a duet with Babyface which is as beautifully glum as anything she's done. While the period between the
Erotica/
Sex fiasco and her triumphant return with 1998's
Ray Of Light was a comparatively lean period commercially for Madonna, this album is up there with the best of her work.
