Madonna

Musician

Madonna (born Madonna Louise Ciccone, August 16, 1958) is an American singer, songwriter, actress and cultural icon who rose to prominence in the 1980s and has had a multi-decade career marked by stylistic reinventions.

Widely known for reinventing her image and sound, Madonna has experimented with pop, dance, electronic and R&B styles; major collaborators cited in reviews include William Orbit, Mirwais, Timbaland and Nellee Hooper. Her career has included high-profile controversies (notably the Erotica/Sex era) and commercially successful landmark albums such as Ray of Light. Reported global sales are on the order of hundreds of millions of records.

DeBaser's reviews portray Madonna as a career-long reinventor who blends pop, electronic and dance music. Ray of Light is repeatedly praised as a high point. Other works divide opinion (Erotica, Hard Candy, American Life). Reviews highlight collaborations (William Orbit, Mirwais, Timbaland) and recurring themes of controversy and reinvention.

 "Bitch out of order - Bat out of hell - Fish out of water - I’m scared, can’t you tell - Bang Bang, shot you dead - Bang Bang, shot you dead [...] Now drive bitch - I said drive bitch - And while you’re at it, die bitch - That’s right drive bitch." Madonna, Gang Bang
