Erotica

Product Information

WatchMojo's Lisa Yang placed "Erotica" among Madonna's most underrated songs, adding that it "has aged gracefully thanks to its progressive lyrics and seductive sound". Madonna will also release a new remix of her global dance smash “Hung Up” featuring Tokischa next Friday, September 16. A remixed version of the track is included on Madonna’s latest album, Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones. The former sample was Pettibone's idea, as he felt it gave the song a "dark, mysterious" vibe, while the Fairuz sample caused controversy after she stated her vocals had been used without her consent, and said the lyrics " He was crucified today", sung in Arabic, were taken from a religious song that is traditionally heard during Good Friday services. She rubbed the crop between her legs as she sang, while dancers posed and danced suggestively in the background.

Originally scheduled for release during the fall of 1992, the Erotica picture disc features a colorized version of the famous “toe sucking” photo taken from Madonna’s Sex book, which was released the same week as the Eroticaalbum.Inspired by the films of Andy Warhol and The Factory, the video intercalates scenes of Madonna dressed as a masked dominatrix with a gold tooth, with actual footage of the making of the Sex book; [87] in these scenes, the singer is seen sitting topless in the lap of an older man, kissing model Naomi Campbell, wearing BDSM gear, and riding a bicycle in the nude. I re-packaged my record in a rice paper sleeve and was going to move the hype sticker to a new outer sleeve, but the contents of the sticker ended up cracking and falling apart, with half of the ink from sticker being left on my fingers.

In the video, [Madonna] becomes Dita Parlo, a masked, gold-toothed dominatrix from an indeterminate age, ready to help us cross the street at the corner of Pleasure and Pain [. Overall, "Erotica" spent eighteen weeks on the chart, and received a gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on December 10, 1992, for shipment of 500,000 copies. Of the latter, AllMusic's Al Campbell said it was one of the album's "more attention-grabbing cuts".

It comes in a cheap PVC sleeve (which we know releases a chemical that destroys the record over time) and it was already ripped at the bottom before even taking it out of the box.

Madonna invites her lover to be submissive while she makes love to him, and suggesting him to explore boundaries between pain and pleasure, demanding: "Give it up, do what I say/ Give it up and let me have my way". enough love - and I know you woun't read this - but Madonna - you outdid yourself here - this is a legacy to be proud of. Fact is that copies were sold from the offices to a Liverpool record dealer, who sold them on to collectors and dealers, and it's highly unlikely one was taken from each box, more likely quite a number of boxes were just sold off, and the others destroyed. Subsequently the balance of the picture disc pallet was taken on its own , a highly unusual situation, to Grundons near Heathrow to be destroyed under close supervision.This led to a lawsuit that was settled out of court; however, both the single and the album were banned in Lebanon. And, with this experience in mind, I have to say that this release is so coherent to its aim that it's simply astounding.

In 2011, Slant Magazine placed the song at number 34 on their list of "The 100 Best Singles of the 1990s"; Ed Gonzalez praised Madonna's "throaty" vocals for making the song's "taunting, aggressive lyrics —an elaborate exploration of sex, from seduction to disease— feel unmistakably honest".
