SKY FITS HEAVEN

Ray of Light is the seventh studio album by Madonna, released on March 3, 1998. After giving birth to her daughter Lourdes, Madonna started working on her new album with producers Babyface, Patrick Leonard and English producer William Orbit. Following failed sessions with Babyface and Leonard, Madonna pursued a new musical direction with Orbit. The recording took place over four months, and experienced problems with the hardware Pro Tools arrangement by Orbit, which would break down, and recording would have to be delayed until they could be repaired, as well as the absence of live bands.

Musically, the album is a pop and dance record, yet, it incorporates strong elements of electronic music within its composition, making it a departure from her previous work. Additionally, it incorporates several genres and subgenres, including techno, trip hop, drum and bass, ambient, rock and classical music. Vocally, the album saw Madonna sing using greater breadth and a fuller tone. Oriental themes are also present on the album, as a result from her conversion to Kabbalah, her study of Hinduism and Buddhism, as well as her daily practice of Yoga; songs like “Sky Fits Heaven” and “Shanti/Ashtangi” are examples from these activities.

Upon release, the album received acclaim and was lauded by contemporary critics as a masterpiece. Reviewers commended the singer’s new musical direction, calling it her “most adventurous” record, as well as its mature, restrained nature; the singer’s vocals were also praised. Ray of Light won four Grammy Awards from a total of six nominations. Commercially, the album also was a success, peaking at number one in fourteen countries. On the US Billboard 200, the album debuted and peaked at number two. With estimated sales of 20 million copies worldwide, Ray of Light remains one of the best-selling albums of all time.

Five singles were released from the album, including global top-five hits “Frozen” and “Ray of Light”. In order to support Ray of Light and her following album, Madonna embarked on the Drowned World Tour in 2001. Critics and scholars have noted the album’s influence on popular music, especially how it helped bring electronic music into mainstream pop culture. They also noted the way in which Madonna was able to re-invent herself and remain fresh and contemporary amidst the more teen pop-based music of the period. In such a way, the album has been included in many critic lists and polls, including Rolling Stone magazine’s “The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time”.

The video received a total of eight MTV Video Music Awards nominations, becoming Madonna’s second most-nominated video at the award show, after “Vogue” in 1990. It won five awards for Video of the Year, Best Female Video, Best Direction, Best Editing and Best Choreography, becoming her most-winning song at the show.

MISS JANET

“Love Will Never Do (Without You)” is the seventh single from Janet Jackson’s fourth studio album, Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989). It topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for one week. The song became Jackson’s fifth number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100, the final of seven top five singles from the album, making her the only artist to achieve seven top five singles from one album. The success of “Love Will Never Do (Without You)” also helped the album to become the only in history to produce number-one hits on the Billboard Hot 100 in three separate calendar years, those being “Miss You Much” in 1989, “Escapade” and “Black Cat” in 1990, and “Love Will Never Do (Without You)” in 1991.

The video was directed by the late photographer Herb Ritts and choreographed by Tina Landon on September 13, 1990. Jackson originally planned to wear a dress for the video, but Ritts envisioned Jackson in nothing more than a black top and a pair of jeans. The video features cameos by actors (then Calvin Klein underwear models) Antonio Sabàto, Jr. and Djimon Hounsou.

The video won for Best Female Video and was nominated for Best Choreography and Best Art Direction at the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards. It ranked 13 on Rolling Stone’s The 100 Top Music Videos, 72 on VH1’s 100 Greatest Videos, and 88 on MTV’s 100 Greatest Videos Ever Made.
