Like A Prayer - Madonna Reviews

Have you ever bought an album for one song and then discovered that the rest of the songs were difficult to fall for? We have all done it and I'm afraid that's how I feel about Like a Prayer. Everybody knows the title track, what with the "controversial" music video that accompanied the single release. OH WATCH OUT - Jesus is ...  Read the complete review

"Like A Prayer" was Madonna's fourth album and was released in 1989. Just prior to the album's release, Madonna had signed a $5 million deal with Pepsi and had recorded a TV ad featuring the title track. It aired just once in the US and UK - once the promo video for the song "Like a Prayer" started on rotation play ...  Read the complete review

I have been reading Madonna's autobiography this week on the insistence of my wife. It has made me think more about the person and her music, rather than just the image that she projects. Living with a pretty serious Madonna fan means that I have access to most of her album releases, so I had a look through and listened to most of them, and I ...  Read the complete review

It begins with the amazing 'Like a Prayer', a song which was surrounded by much controversy. It was slammed as blasphemous and lead to problems with her Pepsi sponsorship. However, the song ...  Read the complete review

Like a prayer was a very controversial time for Madge, but then again when was there ever a time when she wasnt at the forefront of controversy.

Madonna grows up! Madonna's previous three studio albums (Madonna, Like A Virgin & True Blue) were all great pop albums but nobody could ever have suspected that she was capable of producing an album as compelling, thought provoking, and musically stunning as this. At the time many considered Madonna to be talentless, Like A Prayer ...  Read the complete review

Like A Prayer, yet another brilliant album from the Queen of Pop herself, Madonna. This album has got quite a variety of songs, it has upbeat lively tunes such as Like a prayer and express yourself, but also on the album there is several slow and downbeat songs such as Till death do us part. One of my favourite songs on this album though has to ...  Read the complete review
