After giving birth to her daughter Lourdes, Madonna collaborated with Patrick Leonard and William Orbit in developing the album. After failed sessions with other producers, Madonna pursued a new musical direction with Orbit and incorporated his extensive usage of trance and electronic music in her songs. The recording took place over four months, but experienced problems with the Pro Tools arrangement by Orbit as well as the absence of live bands. However, upon release, the album was lauded by contemporary critics as a music masterpiece of the decade. Reviewers complimented the album for its mature, restrained nature as well as commending Madonna's musical direction, calling it her "most adventurous" record. Commercially, the album was a success on the world charts, peaking at number one in numerous countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and mainland Europe. On the US Billboard 200, the album debuted and peaked at number two. In 1999, Ray of Light won four Grammy Award from a total of six nominations. Rolling Stone magazine listed the album as one of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. With the global sales of 20 million copies, Ray of Light became one of the most commercially successful albums of the 1990s. Five singles were released from the album. The first single "Frozen" was an international success, as was the second one, "Ray of Light", which won a number of awards for its music video. Madonna has performed songs from the album on all of her world tours since its release. 美国歌手Madonna(麦当娜)于1998年推出的一张音乐专辑,这张专辑的制作人是William Orbit(威廉姆·奥比特)。他将电子音乐与流行舞曲进行了非常成功的结合,并融合了当时流行的音乐元素,如Trip-Hop、Bass等,营造一种科技与未来的迷幻空间。其中歌曲《Little Star(星光)》是Madonna写给女儿萝迪丝的。 专辑在美国取得400万销量,欧洲销量超过700万。成为Madonna继《Like A Prayer(宛若祈祷者)》之后最畅销的专辑,不仅改变了Madonna的公众形象,拓宽了她的音乐空间,也为她赢得3项GRAMMY(葛莱美)奖。单曲方面,主打歌《Ray Of Light(光芒万丈)》轻快流行,被Microsoft选为Windows XP的商业宣传歌曲。 本专辑在《Rolling Stone(滚石)》杂志评出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第363位。

B 一张展示了麦当娜身上“人性”和“神性”斗争的专辑, 如果关心一下歌曲内容,会发现是3/3/3/3/1结构的“严谨布局”, 3首宗教,3首人性,3首宗教,3首人性, 最后用人鱼女孩作为神性和人性的统一收尾, --开场Drowned World/Substitute of Love的标题同样暗示了这样的概念...

如此压抑的madonna你见过么?事实上madonna没有特色的声音常这样的歌曲正合适。除了同名单曲之外,每首都很不错。混合了摇滚、民乐、颇像独立音乐的一种很难说清怎样的电子乐。歌词方面值得考究,但不是最佳。最重要的是作品本身的销量和奖项及对于madonna自身的影响让这张专辑永远处于一种奇妙位置。而换一个方向,这样的效果和效应又有谁知道在将来是不是一种双刃剑?
