Description

Madonnas exquisite sense of the pop song, and suitably stylish aesthetic to match, was pushed to the hilt for 1989s LIKE A PRAYER. Sporting a bare midriff and a stylishly dark bob, she immediately set the Moral Majority up in arms with the title tracks video, depicting, among other things, a black Christ and a hillside of burning crosses. The song, however, was as strong and as dazzling as the images. Before deciding on utilising a constant barrage of public sexuality over songs, Madonna made great records. Highlights here include the sexy bubble-gum of Cherish and the delightful Express Yourself. Great pop to go.
