Madonna ... I'M BREATHLESS (1990)

(5 out of 5 stars)

"In 1990, Madonna had released her sixth album entitled, I'M BREATHLESS. This album, not a soundtrack to the film, "Dick Tracy", but contains music from and inspired the film, is simply great. It most certainly does not disappoint.



HE'S A MAN

A great way to start off this "Dick Tracy" inspired album. If you listen closely to the very start of the song, you'll a clip from the film, "Dick Tracy"



SOONER OR LATER

This song was performed by Madonna twice in the film. She performs an unplugged version (not this version) in the beginning before "Big Boy Caprice" (played by Al Pacino in his most annoying role yet) captures Lips Manlus. The second time she performs this song (this version) is when "Big Boy Caprice" has his grand opening at Lips Manlus' club, after taking over the club. Great jazzy song. Even my father likes this one.



HANKY PANKY

The album's second & final single. Without a music video to support it, this song hit the #10 spot (Billboard Hot 100). I had the pleasure of seeing Madonna perform this classic on RE-INVENTION TOUR in 2004, and she did an awesome job of it.



I'M GOING BANANAS

Love this tune.



CRY BABY

Not bad.



SOMETHING TO REMEMBER

A beautifully performed ballad. Expect to see this tune to pop as the title track to Madonna's 1995 greatest ballads album entitled, SOMETHING TO REMEMBER.



BACK IN BUSINESS

Not bad.



MORE

An acoustic/rehearsal version of this song was performed in the film by Madonna as "Breathless Mahoney". After "Big Boy Caprice" takes over Lips Manlus' club, as well as taking Breathless (who was Lips' flame) as his girl, he has Breathless and her back-up dancers / singers rehearse this for opening night. BIG BOY CAPRICE (To Breathless about 88 Keys): "The next time I crush fingers and turn them into pretzels, I just might do the same thing to your face".



WHAT CAN YOU LOSE (Performed by Madonna & Mandy Patinkin)

This duet between Madonna and Mandy Patinkin was also featured in the film, "Dick Tracy". Mandy Patinkin, himself, even had a supporting role in the film, as the pianist, "88 Keys". This song is rather good, but I wish Mandy would stick with what he's good at: Acting.



NOW I'M FOLLOWING YOU (Pt. 1) (Performed by Madonna & Warren Beatty)

Only over a minute long, but this song is really catchy.



NOW I'M FOLLOWING YOU (Pt. 2) (Performed by Madonna & Warren Beatty)

A great remix of "Now I'm Following You" (Part 1).



VOGUE

The album's first single. My favorite song off of this album. This song definitely defines Madonna of the 1990s and definitely defines Pop Music of the '90s. Great dance song here.



This is another one of Madonna's greatest albums. Mainly, every Madonna fan had bought this album only for "Vogue". I know I did, but after hearing the whole album, it became one of my favorites. Great album here."
