Like a Virgin

Like a Virgin is the second studio album by American singer and songwriter Madonna, released on November 12, 1984, by Sire Records. Following the success of her self-titled debut album, Madonna wanted to become the record producer of her next album. However, her label was not ready to give her the artistic freedom and she chose Nile Rodgers instead to produce the album due to his work with David Bowie. Madonna wrote six songs on the record, five of which feature Steve Bray as a co-writer. The album was recorded at Power Station Studio in New York at a quick pace. Rodgers enlisted the help of his former Chic bandmates Bernard Edwards, who was the bassist, and Tony Thompson, who played drums. Jason Corsaro, the record's audio engineer, persuaded Rodgers to use digital recording, a new technique introduced at that time. - WIKIPEDIA

    I can't be too harsh about the LP. It has it's flaws and it seems a little schizophrenic, but not in an obvious way. It also has harmless pop melodies that are fun enough whilst listening to them.

    Here, she's really trying hard to cement her serious image ... as if her work was worth getting serious over

    the problem with Like A Virgin is that almost half of the songs (mostly on side two) just suck ass.
