Madonna
True Blue

THE REVIEW

In 1986, Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone was 28 years old and had two albums to her name, which brought commercial success on one hand and skepticism from music critics on the other.

Frivolous, provocative and provocative, empty with a silly voice, capable only of simulating orgasms live and starring in 80s movies with dark parties and self-celebrating quotes, Madonna seeks the solution to all this in one of the most shocking hairstyles of her career. To the platinum blonde hair, accompanied by brown eyebrows, she adds physical training that makes her almost unrecognizable. So unrecognizable that it leads her to conceive one of the most splendid albums pop has ever given birth to.

It may have been the aforementioned things, or perhaps the new collaborations with authors such as Pat Leonard and Stephen Bray, the marriage a year earlier to Sean Pean (famous photographer beater), the lion (the real one) in Venice, the Fiadone abruzzese prepared for her by her grandmother... but... hey, why is it that when talking about Madonna, the discussion always ends up being about everything except music? 1986 wasn't just about gossip!

In short, 'True blue' goes beyond the simple analysis of its individual tracks, precisely because I find it impossible to do so without recounting hilarious episodes like Peter and Brian the Dog from Family Guy laughing after questioning Madonna's intelligence. And what about the time Madonna flirted with that saint of color, or when she kissed that other one live on TV? Unbelievable.

Who knows if the daughter, physically identical (to Madonna, I mean), will end up in a reality show singing Paranoid by Black Sabbath in an electro-pop style...
