Recorded at Sigma Sound Studios, New York, New York. All tracks have been digitally remastered. Punk and disco were the major musical innovations of the '70s. No one utilized these sources as shrewdly as Madonna, whose 1983 self-titled debut still sounds sharp 15 years later. A CBGB-era band waif who also loved the N.Y. dance club scene, Madonna Ciccone brought the brash, self-determining ethos of punk rock to the ecstastic melodic lift of Chic-style dance music. That other N.Y. sex symbol, Debbie Harry of Blondie, also had her biggest hits ("Heart Of Glass," "Rapture") when she flirted with disco and rap, but a winking flirtation is all it remained. Her reputation as a master of imagemaking notwithstanding, Madonna never had much use for irony. Songs like the soulful "Borderline" and the celebratory "Holiday" were heartfelt stabs at commercial pop success in which the singer never condescends to the listener. Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers produced her next album, and the rest is history.

Reviews  COME BACK HOME, LITTLE MADONNAReview created: 11/10/06 by:  1 of 2 people found this review helpful. Madonna's debut release sounds dated even remastered but it's a great dated sound and it's one we all miss. Madonna's music hit the airwaves and video waves in 1984 and hasn't stopped since. Songs off the album like Lucky Star, Borderline, Everybody and Holiday are highlights and Borderline still sounds good when you hear it on the radio. Holiday is and remains a new standard and anthem for good times to come. Holiday's universal appeal and simple lyrics make it a song that everyone loves and over 20 years later, it's a song we can still dance to. Madonna happened a long time ago but her debut album still shows her sincerity and innocence, attributes that have long been dead in the Material Girl. Madonna needs to return to her musical roots and realize that less is more. What happened to that sassy, playful boy toy who promised us that one day she would rule the world? Her fancy English estate doesn't count....Come Back Home Little Madonna.... Review ID: 10000000002333167 Was this review helpful? Report this review Madonna CD. Great!This was a great purchase.

Report this review   Her Beginnings Showed Promise...Review created: 02/06/07 by: starcollector-- a member of Epinions and Top Reviewer in Music Pros: Fun, catchy songs. Good times. Cons: Madonna would never again release something this pleasant. (Disclaimer: Those looking for a brief description of the album will find what their looking for in the "Album Overview" section. The section titled "Detailed Track Discussion" is meant only for those who want to read detailed descriptions of the songs, and they do not constitute the essence of this review. Lastly and most importantly, this review is not necessarily written by the point of view of a Madonna fan.) Introduction: Madonna is better known for her public relations abilities than her music, which is generally bloated and boring. But in 1983, she actually used to be fun. This is the.. Review ID: 10000000002929361 Birth of A Legend: Madonna's Debut Is Still One Of Her BestReview created: 05/06/03 by: speeddemon531-- a member of Epinions and Advisor in Music Pros: Extreme danceablilty, a rare look at an unaffected Madonna. Cons: "I Know It", somewhat tinny sound, even remastered. Before she went on to conquer the world, Madonna was a pretty damn good dance singer. It's hard to believe that when this album finally blew up in 1984, people thought she would be the flash-in-the-pan while her contemporary Cyndi Lauper was viewed as the woman who would take over the world and become a legend. However, the proof is in all that the Material Girl has done in the 20 years since this album was released. This 8-song collection of dance songs remains one of her best albums and one of the best debuts ever. Way back when, Madonna was the prototype early-80's club kid, trying to... Review ID: 10000000000224928  Madonna's Debut: The Making of a Lucky StarReview created: 04/26/06 by: Pantagruel-- a member of Epinions and Top Reviewer in Music Pros: the first album by Madonna will bring the dancehall to your living room Cons: you'll probably choose to sit out a few tracks Madonna was virtually unknown when she released her self-titled debut album in 1983. An early single, "Burning Up," didn't make much of an impact except in the dance clubs. Yet that song contains the line that summarizes her life, real or perceived. "Unlike the others I'll do anything/I'm not the same, I have no shame." It is that dogged determination, that willingness to do whatever it takes, that showed there was more to Madonna than the pretty-faced blonde that graced the black and white cover. She wrote five of the eight tracks on the album. That her debut featured a pretty good... Review ID: 10000000000900567 Madonna's Impressive DebutReview created: 12/15/06 by: floatingcity-- a member of Epinions and Advisor in Music Pros: Catchy, melodic and memorable Pop/Dance. Cons: Some cheap-sounding production and some obvious hit/filler discrepancies. What a debut! It s normally a shock when any artist s first release stuns (with the relative inexperience and all), but even more so that a low-key dance album from an unknown Michiganite could be so totally satisfying. Probably tired of hearing mindless rote dance hits in the numerous clubs she frequented, Madonna set out to put her own spin on the formula, and does so surprisingly well. Given that dance music tends to be all thump, no tune, it s shocking to see the genuine quality of the vocal melodies on songs like Borderline and Lucky Star . The first six songs are incessantly catchy,... Review ID: 10000000002544102 Mandatory Madonna: The Fluffy DebutReview created: 02/05/04 by: LindsayBW -- a member of Epinions Pros: It's got that funky, fluffy 80s charm. Cons: It all sounds similar. No ballads. Only 8 tracks. I know it's hard, but to begin this review, I'd like to ask you to use your imagination. It's 1983. Music is a tricky business. Disco is dead, but nothing else has exploded yet. Here's the tricky part: Madonna isn't a cultural icon. She is just a girl elbow-deep in bangles, with a decent singing voice, rabid determination, a beauty mark, and an unconventinal gap, trying to make her way in the music industry. And as you can tell from the cover of her self-titled debut, she isn't happy about that. Now back to reality. It's hard for a girl like me to take that perspective on this album. To me,...
