It’s been a long while since our last Madonna Timeline, so perhaps a brief Mad-cap recap of the last few entries is in order before tomorrow’s big reveal (it’s from the ‘Erotica’ era, so you know it will be hot hot hot!) As you may know, the selections for the timeline are procured from setting my Madonna collection on shuffle, and seeing what pops up next. Such randomness is on full display in the last seven songs that have been featured, as it features some of her best work with some of her more lackluster efforts.
- I’m Going Bananas – A Dick Tracy throwaway that is simply cray cray.
- Beautiful Scars – A ‘Rebel Heart‘ bonus track that is nice enough.
- Mer Girl – A haunting ‘Ray of Light‘ finale that cuts deeper than perhaps any other.
- Cry Baby – Another Dick Tracy trifle that makes me want to weep.
- Vogue – The iconic classic that made the world strike a pose.
- Body Shop – A ‘Rebel Heart‘ love song that may be her sweetest since ‘True Blue‘.
- Express Yourself – A bit of ‘Like A Prayer‘ brilliance.
For even more Madonna madness, check out the first hundred timelines here and here. We are closing in on the last quarter of entries, which may be why I’m stalling a little. I don’t want it to end. Luckily, a new album is on the 2019 horizon, so we have a way to go. The magic continues…
