Collaborators look back at the pop icon’s pivotal 1998 LP

 

By

BARRY WALTERS

 

 

Twenty years ago, Madonna was at a crossroads. After launching her Maverick entertainment company in 1992 with her widely but not wisely panned Erotica album and Sex book, the star entered a period of relative caution. The exuberant queerness of those works gave way to muted ballads, followed by Evita, which made her feminism palatable to Middle America. After the birth of her daughter Lourdes in 1996, she sought spiritual enlightenment in Kabbalah and Ashtanga yoga, and immersed herself in the work of songwriters who shared their secrets via meditative electronic textures – particularly Björk, Everything But the Girl and Tricky.

 

 

All these factors shaped Ray of Light, an album akin to those artists’ work, but also uniquely Madonna-esque. Rooted in the underground yet heard and loved by millions, it’s the multi-platinum antecedent to today’s popular EDM, but considerably more personal. Twenty years later, singers and producers alike are still chasing its finely finessed fusion of anguished rumination and beat-driven bliss. Rolling Stone spoke with key collaborators on this watershed LP. Here are six things we learned.

 

1. Although the project’s synth-centric final results earned her the passing nickname Veronica Electronica, Madonna didn’t initially plan to work with songwriter Rick Nowels or producer William Orbit.

After Evita, Madonna reunited with Babyface, co-producer and co-writer of Bedtime Stories‘ “Take a Bow,” which had topped the Hot 100 for seven weeks in 1995. But according to the smooth-soul magnate, “Madonna didn’t want or need to repeat herself.” Spotting her at Barney’s department store when he’d come to Manhattan for the Grammys, producer and songwriter Rick Nowels – now Lana Del Rey’s primary collaborator – impulsively introduced himself. “I told her I was nominated for a Grammy for Celine Dion’s ‘Falling Into You,'” he recalls. Much to his surprise, she replied, “Oh, I love that song.” This led to a meeting at her home, where, according to Nowels, “She said she had no idea what the new album was going to be.” At Nowels’ Mulholland Drive home studio, the pair wrote nine songs in 10 days.

 

“Until then, I had only written with friends – Ellen Shipley, Billy Steinberg, and Stevie Nicks,” Nowels remembers. “It was quite unnerving to write one-on-one with the biggest star on the planet. But I loved her songs and felt an emotional kinship with her music. I got a lot of DJ records and old film score records and prepared loops to write to. Once the song was written, we’d drop the loop and program our own beat. ‘Little Star’ and ‘The Power of Good-Bye’ were written over a drum ‘n’ bass rhythm, which was happening at the time. ‘To Have and Not to Hold’ was written to a bossa nova beat.”

Interesting that is Sony Music and Legacy recordings who originally posted this video on their Twitter! Is something going on with the album? They'd better release a collector's edition or an expanded release of this album to show appreciation! Last one was 11 years ago... Edited October 5, 2019 at 05:42 PM by Javito

My first Celine album.

Such a huge milestone in Celine's career.

 

I would still LOVE to hear those Phil Spector songs ---- or, at least, hear Celine talk about that experience.

It was such a humiliating experience for Céline. I heard through the grapevine (from a recording engineer) that Phil pulled out a megaphone in the studio and shouted verbally abusive things, and brought Céline to tears. Who knows if that’s actually true, but even if some of the ill feelings have faded in the 20+ years since, I’m sure she won’t let the recordings see the light of day as long as she’s alive.

 

Still, I would do anything to hear even a rough demo of what they had planned, but unfortunately our best hope is a posthumous release.

That was dark.

That was dark.

 

Really? Well, I‘m just being realistic based on what I’ve heard about the situation. I mean, put yourself in her 10,000 pairs of shoes. I think we have a better chance of hearing TYLAM being sung live!!

[Peppercorn1991]

Looks like legacy spend their time posting on social media instead of putting something together the fans want

OMG! You made my day! :sofunny:

If Celine was indeed bullied during that recording session to the point that she cried, it's good that the videos haven't been made available. Who would want to be seen in such a situation?

[jpatdeleon09]

They just played “I Love You” in radio in our country. Nothing just want to share it. When will she sing this song live? It’s one of her best songs in this album.

Why would René allow that? Why didn’t he stop the recording sessions like he did to that Québec interview in 1990-1991?

If that is true, luckily, 24 years later Céline is at the best point of her life (according to her) while Phil... we all know where he is...

He did.

[ehild]

The only info I can find is that he was pretty much inactive during the 80's, 90's and early 2000's but he attempted to work with Celine on this album but had a "falling out" with her production team....if that's what you want to call it. What a bully. I can't stand when men think they own the world and they can treat ppl however they want.

[Céline RO]

Well, Céline does perform one song produced by Phil Spector on this tour...

[nuts2you]

yea, which one
