I feel like it's often overshadowed online by the fan favourite Erotica and the magnum opus Ray of Light, but Bedtime Stories is sublime!

 

Very nice lil R&B album with some of the greatest music videos of all time. Give Madge some streams, queens!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bonus outtake (and a TOTAL BOP). Single-quality tbh.

 

 

 

Yes

I need the girls to serve me more Trance-inspired songs like the Bedtime Story.

One of my fav Marge album, very underrated. I guess too r&b for pop stans

Madge's best album hands down. 

Take a Bow is a masterpiece 

Which variant tho? I preferred the voice memo one she did to block Paula Abdul.  
 

Taste! It rivals Ray of Light for me.

Is this the album where Madonna copied Bjorks entire aesthetic?

Amazing album

You didn't lie 

Her second best album after Erotica! It's gorgeous! It basically saved her career in the US. She should do a mini tour for it. She basically did that for American Life with Tears of a Clown. I'm still dying to hear the Shep Pettibone demos! 

Forbidden Love should've been a single

Survival

I Could Be Your Lover 

Don't Stop

inside of me

human nature

 forbidden love

love tried to welcome me

sanctuary

bedtime story 

 

whew this is a 10/10 album. Shame about the ugly cover but the music truly makes up for it 

My favorite after the best album of all time Erotica.

Bjork wrote a song for the album. Do your homework before talking nonsense. 

I'd Rather Be Your Lover feat. Tupac, the #1 that got away 

Inside of Me is one of the most touching songs she's ever done. While she was obviously trying to do some damage control and do something a bit softer, she wouldn't let the backlash she received go without responding (songs like Survival and Human Nature). She kept her artistic integrity doing that. You have to respect that. While she used some of the most popular producers at that time, the songs are quite intricate and unlike many that you would hear on radio. She went in a safer direction but not an easier one sonically and lyrically. It's still a ballsy album. I think lush sums up the album.

It was going to be for "Something to Remember" (that's why it's in that compilation) but the idea was ultimately scrapped. 

This album is a true Masterpiece

I didn't know this   this definitely should've happened but we got an Oh Father rerelease and a flop Love Don't Live Here Anymore remix released instead

This album was a major inspiration for Madonna at the time

 

 

It is not but Sanctuary goes off

Yeah, it's the album that made me a stan when I was a kid. 

 

Secret and Human Nature ALONE >>>> discographies 

I wouldn't say it's any better than Erotica or Ray Of Light, but it's nice.

Nothing you said changes what I said.
