Madonna – The Artist

Madonna Louise Ciccone (Born, 1958) is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. Referred to as the “Queen of Pop” since the 1980s, Madonna is known for pushing the boundaries of songwriting in popular music and for the visuals she uses onstage and in music videos. She has frequently reinvented her music and image while remaining completely in charge of every aspect of her career. Her diverse works, which incorporated social, political, sexual, and religious themes, have generated both critical acclaim and controversy. Madonna is often cited as an influence by other artists. Having sold more than 300 million records worldwide, Madonna is certified as the best-selling female recording artist of all time by Guinness World Records. 

Erotica – The Song

‘Erotica‘ is a song by American singer and songwriter Madonna. It is the title track from her fifth studio album Erotica (1992), and was released as the album’s lead single in 1992 by Maverick Records. The song was written by Madonna, Shep Pettibone and Anthony Shimkin, while production was handled by the singer and Pettibone. Musically, “Erotica” contains spoken word vocals, and is an ode to S&M, with Madonna using a pseudonym called “Dita”. She invites her lover to be passive while making love to her and leads him to explore boundaries between pain and pleasure. The accompanying music video for the song was directed by fashion photographer Fabien Baron, and features Madonna dressed as a masked dominatrix interspersed with footage of the making of the singer’s Sex book, with cameos by celebrities such as Naomi Campbell and Big Daddy Kane. The video was highly controversial, being aired by MTV a total of three times, all of these after the 10pm watershed, before being completely banned. She performed “Erotica” on three of her concert tours, the first being on The Girlie Show World Tour (1993), the Confessions Tour (2006) and most recently on The MDNA Tour (2012). The song has also been covered and parodied by several artists.
