CRITIC REVIEWS

Certainly, there's some calculation behind the entire thing, but what matters is the end result, one of the great dance-pop albums, a record that demonstrates Madonna's true skills as a songwriter, record-maker, provocateur, and entertainer through its wide reach, accomplishment, and sheer sense of fun.

Além de ser responsável por tornar a Madonna um ícone global, considero True Blue o melhor dela da década de 1980s ao invés do aclamado Like A Prayer por ter hits marcantes e o trabalho em si apresentar mais coerência (tbm por ser um disco mais descontraído e menos denso).
Claro, True Blue apresenta um conceito simples (que já tá muito saturado atualmente) e menos complexo que o LAP, mas o projeto em si é tão bem ... read more
