Not content with upsetting the religious establishment with Like a Prayer, Madonna continue to push boundaries in the early 90s. There was the one-two punch of releasing this album - Erotica – along side her Sex book. She certainly knew how to get attention.
The album itself was, again, musically just ahead of the curve. She obviously had her finger on the pulse and knew how to make her mark. The standout songs are the title track, Deeper and Deeper, Rain, Bad Girl. I know I’ve said it before, but she’s got a lot of good songs. It’s easy to be controversial, but at the end of the day, you need something to back that up. On Erotica, she had the songs to go with the sensationalism.
