"Erotica" is one of the albums that changed the industry. It marks a before and after in the history of music. Thanks to this Madonna album, the favorite female artists of many young people can talk about sex and express themselves freely without being so criticized. "Erotica" became a cult record over the years, and entered the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a revolutionary record. Madonna breaking taboos from time immemorial. Iconic! ☆

[@Marc-zi5cq]

And she did with such confidence and class. She was not some bimbo twerking like mad. She was totally doing it on her own terms and in control. And no bad words on any of the sexual songs. The personal songs like Bad Girl and In This Life get overlooked too often unfortunately. The album was about so much more than just Sex.

[@brettneyxcx6683]

Erotica was actually considered a flop and had a lot of backlash for the sexual content. This was a huge deal back then when sex was extremely taboo. Till this day madonna has never apologized or regret what she did with this album/era and I’m glad she never did. Also this album did indeed changed pop culture forever.

[@elm1230]

Lol sex was just as permeated throughout society as it is today. The 70s was probably the most sexual era in popular culture there was. It was the fact that she made such an aggressively sexual album in the midst of the AIDS scare. People found it to be dangerous and irresponsible. Of course Madonna’s aim was to get people to confront fear, and engage sexuality, if at minimum through fantasy.

[@rebeccapetty1k390]

@brettneyxcx6683 the backlash was well deserved.. she didn’t need to go fully nude .. that was p0rn .. I don’t see a difference just cuz Madonna is the one doing it then it should be ‘ accepted ‘ especially that erotica the album was musically great , sensual and she even was mysterious with the lyrics and the double entendres.. the book and the music video for erotica just don’t go with the general atmosphere of the album.. so Madonna did some self sabotage there .. just focusing on ‘ erotica ‘ as a single and failing to show the potential of the album as a whole

[@jeffk.9075]

I stand by the statement that this is one of the most important albums of all time. Everything changed after it. They tried to destroy her because of it. She and the album and what the album stood for stood the test of time.

[@YoWCosmo]

The album is in the hall of fame. The album was a flop for the industry 6 million copies (it really wasn't a flop), the singles are amazing. The cinematographic and conceptual videos, The book sold more than 1 million in 3 days and is a Guinness record. The tour was short, controversial, and successful. Madonna made a lot of money between 1992 and 1993. She is a revolutionary woman. she chance all in the music industry.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of this album. It was so ahead of its time! The last 3 songs are so important, specially for the gay communitiy. At the time, that's what sexuality was, pain and pleasure intertwined.

[@graphiquejack]

I kinda think the album was structured like a relationship, or maybe like a night of passion. Rain is the ‘climax’ and the last three are ‘afterglow’ or maybe even regrets and the consequences of love lost, the dangers of sex, and death.

[@workinprogresssince1980]

This whole album is Madonna's masterpiece, but Rain is out of this world. And she said in an interview that Rain isn't a sexual innuendo song, but about heartbreak and longing for that one true love to come back.

Erotica was slammed when it first came out. But now journalists are even saying how legendary this album is. It sold 7 million albums worldwide wide a lot less the like a virgin, true blue and like a prayer but this was her first experimental album but not her last. She is a true icon, legend of the music industry. Unfortunately Madonna does not get the credit from so many. Hopefully when day she will be credited for the brilliant body of work she has written and produced for her 40 years of music she has created!

[@user-mz2ne4yh2t]

I'm glad you also noticed how Madonna shifted to this poetry style of singing, i call this (and her foreshadowing to Erotica, Justify My Love) the “Spoken-Word era” of Madonna for a reason lmao

[@elgabriel2983]

I understand what you are saying, but the songs after rain are so deep, important and meaningful, especially considering the AIDS pandemic we were in. 'Why's it so hard' about love in difficult times like that and marginalizing gays and other minority groups. 'In this life' was about her friend artist Keith Haring who died of AIDS. Secret garden I have learned to love, it's just a beautiful, almost dreamy song about paradise where everything is perfect. Well that's my free interpretation.

[@neonparadis3]

AIDS is very important to this album and its reception, people automatically think, "oh it was the early 90s, society was more conservative back then" which is true, but celebrating sex so freely and explicitly was even a bigger taboo after the AIDS crisis.

[@mihran79]

I have read interpretation about Secret garden that she is singing about her vagina... but also about male domination and her being a strong woman when she sings "And the boots have come and trampled on me", a common subject in M's career

Finalllllyyyy! This album is really experimental for her, and i can see the huge trailblazer it was for female artists and what they could show in their art and visual imagery, the music is also more mature, but i'd say the MVs and promotion material were what brought them to more outrageous territory, Madonna TRULY walked so today's girls could run

My favorite songs are Bad Girl, Where Life Begins, Rain, Waiting, Deeper And Deeper, Erotica. The whole album is great. I get what you are saying about it ending after Rain because i sometimes stop after that track as well. The final 3 tracks are good but i don't vibe with them quite the same way either. Subject matter is important though on the Girlie Show she really brought them to life. Rain is underrated. She was unfortunately experiencing a serious backlash after she put out Erotica as the first single with people saying she had gone to far so airplay was less for the singles of this album than what she was used to. One or two years earlier Rain would have easily gone to #1, in 1993 it had to settle for #14, which is still decent for a fourth single but you know she was used to bigger numbers. Erotica peaked at #3 and Deeper And Deeper at #7. Bad Girl is her best video, you have to check it out. The song unfortunately peaked only inside the top 40. Nowadays Erotica is praised by fans and critics though as a dark masterpiece and one of the most revolutionary album of all time.

Justify My Love (1990) was really the song that set the transition from 80s Madonna to Erotica era. I think it’s sexier than Erotica and has the moaning of Lenny Kravitz in the background.

It really can't be understated how important Madonna was to the male gay community during the AIDS epidemic. From her earliest days on the club scene in New York - and throughout the worst days of the epidemic and beyond - it was clear that she was a committed, unwavering ally. And the reason it was clear wasn't only because she spoke out loudly and forcefully on our behalf, but also because she was simultaneously experiencing much of what many of us were going through - if not physically, then certainly emotionally. Her deep immersion in gay culture from the minute she hit New York meant that she understood and cared about us in a way that no other Very Famous Person - pop icon or otherwise - ever had before. With this magnificent album (her best imo), she documented for posterity her commitment to and understanding of our community. Throughout those dark days and beyond, she hasn't just been an outspoken supporter of the LGBTQ+ community, but she's celebrated us through her music (and some damned good music at that!). Madonna and her music have been a consistent part of the gay cultural landscape for decades. It's why she means so much to so many of us. And why some of her (cough cough) older gay male fans like myself will never turn our backs on her. (But please M, don't turn out to be a serial killer...we do draw the line :).

[@sjbigdlc]

it did sell well, it was compared to her other album sales at time which were in the multi platinum sales. this only sold couple million in U.S. comparing the sales made it look like a flop. Any artist would die to sell a couple of million

[@nunogouveia6458]

It didn't sell well for "Madonna Standarts". I remember reading an article on an European Magazine like 6 months after the album was released saying the album was a failure as it have sold "only" 4 million by then worldwide. Right beside it on the other page was another article about how Kylie Minogue latest studio album being as huge success for selling 2 million worldwide after about 1 year since its release (at the time Kylie Minogue was already the 2nd most female successful artist of all time in UK and Australian charts). So if this had been released by any other female artists and sold that much would have been considered a success. Today the album already crossed 7 million sales (probably even more as Warner doesn't update sales for long) and it will certainly hit 10 million one day. 😊

[@nunogouveia6458]

@German Morawski yeah! At first some did thought that (especially in US). But as new singles were released the image of the album changed a bit (especially with "Rain") but Madonna wasn't interested on that just yet as the tour was also pushing bounderies (her Girlie Show Tour) - even at MTV Awards she decided to present a very sexual "Bye Bye Baby" instead of a toned down "Rain" or much fun mainstream song like "Deeper and Deeper".

You need to watch the music video of “Rain” by one of the best music video directors of all time, Mark Romanek. Erotica is the album that syncs with “infamous then” the “Sex” book, about releasing one’s own fantasy. The sound wise, this album is a sort of extension of Vogue and Justify My Love, another ground breaking song and music video at that time. About the 3D sound you mentioned, she was using Q-sound at that time with Justify My Love and her first best album Immaculate Collection. So she was experimenting the new technology and cutting edge artists like Andre Betts, who produced some of the tracks in this album. I love Erotica and believe Ray of Light definitely comes out of her Erotica experiments. Both are my favorite albums along with her 80s albums.
