Madonna - Bedtime Stories

I’ve said it before, that the great secret of Madonna’s success is that she puts at least 3 great songs on each album.  On this album those tracks are Secret, Take a Bow, Human Nature. This album slows things down a bit from her previous work, it has a trip hop feel in places, you can tell she was influenced by Massive Attack and Portishead.  No bad thing in my book.  If it wasn’t such an insult, you’d almost say that this album is Madonna’s “mature” album.
