Something To Remember - Madonna

Madonna's greatest ballads collection, this album contains many of Madonna's best ballads of yesteryear, as well as a few new ones. I Want You (with MASSIVE ATTACK) is a powerful, seductive song. "I want you to want me, I want you, but I want you to want me too" Madonna croons, silkily. Resist that if you can. MASSIVE ATTACK add a powerful backing music to it that adds weight to the song. A long introduction starts this song, with a hip-hop drum with exceptional emphasis on the bass, and a semi-tone string figure. Madonna sings this song of desire and unrequited love in a languid manner, her vocal right to the front of the mix. The theme of ...  Read the complete review

The follow up to the multi-platinum Bedtime Stories, was 1995s Something To Remember. Described in the press release for the album as ‘a very special collection, which brings together her finest ballads’, it is indeed a very fine record. One gets the impression that maybe Madonna was feeling a little sorry for her-self around this time, as the sleeve notes state that ‘so much controversy has surrounded her career the last 10 years that the music is all but forgotten’. Without fanfare she introduces the collection of ballads saying, “…all of them are from my heart”. Heck, even the cover of the album has Madonna in a ...  Read the complete review

I’m a huge Madonna fan although I am not so keen on her past two albums. I believe that this should have been where she stopped recording cause this would have been a beautiful finish to an amazing career. Something to Remember is basically Greatest Hits Part Two because she released The Immaculate Collection in 1990. The Album has music ranging from her Like a Virgin Album to new material of 1995. All the songs are ballads so if you are up for a fast beat album of Madonna’s worth giving this a miss. The album itself is ___minutes long and features 14 tracks although two of those tracks are the same but one is a remix (I want you, featuring ...  Read the complete review

I do not own a lot of Madonna albums, I have 2 others apart from this one, and think that this is a really good buy. Why? well because it is a CD with a mixture of songs from her career, and some 'new' ones too (well they were new at the time). 14 tracks. 1. I want you - with massive attack This is a very sultry song, can be seen as a bit slow and boring however, It is not the best song on the album. It is good to listen to though. 2. I'll remember This is a very nice song, again a bit slow. The vocals are slow with a faster beat, this was the theme to the film "With Honors" which I believe starred Madonna, and is ...  Read the complete review

Yes, Madonna the Queen of Pop has yet another fine collection of songs. This collection of songs are quiet ones, not ones to get up and dance to, but rather to sit back quietly and hum along and sing (badly in my case) to the words. The song "This used to be my playground" comes from Madonna's film A League of Their Own. This is definitely a great album and well worth buying. Another fine collection of songs featuring a lot of my favourites such as Rain, Crazy for You and This used to be my playground. Well worth listening to. ...  Read the complete review
