Producers: Pat Leonard, Madonna, Steve Bray. Digitally remastered by Ted Jensen (Sterling Sound, New York, New York). Not to take away from the two fine party albums that preceded it, but TRUE BLUE is arguably the first great Madonna album, the one on which she discovered that great soul music isn't just a beat; it usually requires delving into one's own soul. As originally released on LP, the album's first side, featuring a dizzying single about teen pregnancy ("Papa Don't Preach"), a perfect Tin Pan Alley pop song ("Open Your Heart") and the amazing "Live To Tell," a ballad on which she discovers, for the first time, the low end of her vocal range, is almost undoubtedly the finest album side she ever cut. TRUE BLUE also includes "Where's The Party," a catchy throwback to the forget-your-cares dance pop of her debut album, and "La Isla Bonita," which represented the beginning of Madonna's fruitful obsession with Latin beats and culture. Five songs from the album, including the girl-groupy title cut, made the top five of the pop chart; three of them hit #1. Editorial Reviews Q (07/01/2001) | Find errors in the product description?

Reviews  Madonna at her finest!Review created: 07/01/08 by:  This is a classic Madonna CD. From the first note of "Papa Don't Preach" to "Love Makes The World Go Round" is a fantastic journey into pop wonderfulness. This is Madonna at her finest. Fans of Gwen Stefani's first solo album you must buy this. See where the inspiration comes from. Madonna is truly the master of all things pop and when she does it she does it FANTASTIC.

Despite Madonna's early efforts to be controversial, she never really crossed over into silly, annoying,just to get attention, controversy until after her album True Blue. Although, Papa Don't Preach was condemned by many social groups for it's message and it appeared to be an attention grabber,it was social commentary on the smallest scale with some edginess mixed in. Madonna wanted to stay ahead of the game but ultimately at this time in her career, her fans loved her for her music and her spunky persona. The music on this album sells itself with or without controversy. It's just plain good American True Blue Pop Music. Don't over think it or over analyze it. The songs Live to Tell, Papa Don't Preach, Open Your Heart, True Blue, La Isla Bonita and White Heat are just some of the highlights. Open Your Heart's video overshadowed the song but it remains one of Madonna's best songs ever. True Blue, the title song, is still a beacon of the lost artist called Madonna....before The Sex Book, before EVITA, before Guy Ritchie and before her super imposed opinions flip flopped like a dying carp on a shore of her home state of Michigan. After this album which she dedicated to her then husband, American icon, Sean Penn, she starts to enter into her point of no return. She crosses over into musical adulthood where she starts to take herself too seriously and although she has not hit her career peak, she does leave behind that hometown girl who went to New York to become a star with a mere $35.00 in her pocket. Gone is that American True Blue girl, with family values and clever poppy songs. Gone are the songs that don't have some hidden agenda. Madonna's face on this album is iconic and a great American classic portrait/picture was born. It's the last time we see Madonna as innocent and sincere. Goodbye AMERICAN TRUE BLUE...
