Madonna and R&B?#1

Posted: 4/20/08 at 12:33am

I'm looking forward to Madonna's HARD CANDY. But it seems some people are making such a big deal that she made an R&B album with Timbaland and Pharrell. But I think some people are forgetting she has already made an R&B album. Her amazing BEDTIME STORIES album.




I'm sure her new album will be more of R&B/funk than BEDTIME, which was more legit R&B. But Madonna desperately needed a new sound, and I'm glad she's got it.

So who loves BEDTIME STORIES and is excited for Madonna's second R&B album?

Bedtime Stories is my favorite Madonna album. "Secret" is one of my all time favorite songs of hers. I'm excited for the second R&B album, excluding the Timberlake contributions because I cannot stand that boy.


I agree, Bedtime Stories doesn't get enough love. "Love Tried to Welcome Me" is a rare gem.

I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)

Bedtime Stories is probably my favorite CD of hers. I still consider it pop with a tinge of R&B but not a full on R&B CD.

In my opinion, the only non-R&B song on BEDTIME STORIES is the title song (obviously).

Otherwise I find all of the other songs to be R&B. I don't hear much pop at all. She even sampled an Aaliyah song for the album.

I don't consider "Don't Stop", I'd Rather be Your Lover", "Sanctuary" or "Love Tried to Welcome Me" full on R&B songs. At least not like the R&B I grew up with and is out there today. But I feel it is R&B tinged. But then all R&B is not really what it used to be. JMO

Just Heard the full versions of

Miles Away, Shes Not Me, Incredible, Give It To Me

Incredible is a weak song but the others are great (Miles away is a beautiful song), Give It To Me (very dancy, a good club song) Shes Not Me (Great to dance to and very funny lyrics, a bit like Thief Of Hearts)

The music so far is a bit 80s meets urban meets Dance music

Its very fresh and a fun album from the sounds of it

Namo i love u but we get it already....you don't like Madonna

I too just heard a number of tracks from the CD, R&B it really isn't. It is fresh and fun and I will buy it. But it is not a full on R&B CD. Not what I expected at all, but good. Very good.

I, too, have heard some tracks and it's very good--better dance music than Confessions by far. It's gotten good reviews by Rolling Stone and EW.
