"Erotica" is the fifth studio album by Madonna which was released on [October 20, 1992] Happy Anniversary!!

  















It was in this period - on October 20th, 1992 - that Madonna released her Erotica album. After the concept album I'm Breathless Madonna wanted to make a 
real dance album, so she teamed up with producer Shep Pettibone, whom she 
collaborated with for Vogue and Rescue Me, and who was a real expert in dance music. 
Later Andre -Dre- Betts joined the team and added a hip hop sound to the album. 
The result was a catchy album with 14 tracks with R&B, house/trance, dance and hip hop 
influences.















Album

It's beyond any doubt that controversy in Madonna's career peaked in the early nineties. 
Controversy had been around from the very beginning: rolling on the floor in the 
Like A Virgin wedding dress, promoting materialism in Material Girl (or that's what the 
critics thought), the peep show in Open Your Heart, the pointy Gaultier corsets from the 
Who's That Girl Tour and Blond Ambition Tour, singing about teenage pregnancy in Papa 
Don't Preach, kissing a black priest in Like A Prayer and chaining herself to the bed in 
Express Yourself. But in the nineties the controversy became more sexual and more explicit. 
Justify My Love was the starting point of a raw sex period, where Madonna talked openly 
about all kinds of sex and sexuality. The 'Sex' book and the movies In Bed With Madonna 
and Body Of Evidence showed a Madonna pushing the boundaries further than ever, maybe 
even too far.

 The album was promoted by no less than six singles: Erotica, Deeper And 
Deeper, Bad Girl and Rain were released worldwide; Fever and Bye Bye Baby got a 
limited release. Unfortunately many people thought Madonna had gone too far this time. 
Despite a great album and great videos, the album and singles weren't that successful. The 
title track was the first ever lead-off single from a Madonna album that failed to get to #1 
since the first album; the other singles failed to get to the top 5 in the 
charts. Only the club scene showed some appreciation: Erotica, Deeper And Deeper and 
Fever were all #1 in the Hot Dance / Club Play chart.

In the US there were two different versions of the Erotica album: the 'clean' version, which
 doesn't include Did You Do It? and the original version, including the rap song, while 
carrying a parental advisary sticker on the cover.

In the album charts, the album got to #1 (France, Australia), #2 (US, UK), #3 
(Canada), and #5 (Germany). In the US it was certified double Platinum in January 
1993 for shipments of 2 million copies. To date it only sold about 5 million copies 
worldwide.

Madonna Started Filming The "Bedtime Story" Video on December 5 1994.

The inspiration behind the video. Hello everyone! This month’s music video to be analyzed is the for “Bedtime Story”, While this video is tricky for its various sources of inspiration, it’s one of her best, if not  the   best, and an underrated one by most fans. I am sure that, after reading all of this, you’ll find yourself more in love with the true artist Madonna really is. Madonna called upon “Rain” director Mark Romanek to do the music video for “Bedtime Story” after she saw what he had done with Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer”. As she always does, she listened to the song over and over again, trying to think of a concept for a video. The theme she held on to for this one was dreams, it’s meaning, concepts, imagery and works based on it. She’s a huge fan of surrealistic art, in which lots of paintings deal about dreaming, or allude to something unfathomable in real life. She held to that and brought that concept to Romanek, that really liked the idea and wanted to add ...
