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?

Report this review  Let My Heart Put On A ShowReview created: 12/22/06 by: sam19422 -- a member of Epinions Pros: Madge in her Latin American state of mind Cons: It worked for the time, presented to us in the height of the summer. Probably the one and only Madonna album I have ever given any real thought to writing about was her third album, True Blue. I don t doubt for a minute that she has just about accomplished everything humanly possible in her career and that her contribution to the vast American music industry will, quite simply, never be matched, yet there is a definite lack of something that has been found in her work ever since this 1986 LP. Like any decent artist should find, her life to the top, where she tilters now, was a bitter struggle. By the time, she compiled an album of Latin American pop ditties...
