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.

      Madonna [Remaster] redux
    Review created: 07/07/08

    Great classic Madonna tunes, before she got rich and got an attitude. Nothing like a hungry artist. The remastered version has an extended version of "Burning Up", which is why I bought the re-mastered version.

      COME BACK HOME, LITTLE MADONNA

    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....
