MADONNA: PART 3 (with Annie Zaleski)
Author and journalist Annie Zaleski returns to Pop Pantheon for part three of our Madonna series. DJ Louie and Annie tackle the “Earth Mother” period of Madonna’s career, from Ray of Light to Music, American Life and Confessions on a Dance Floor.
Author and journalist Annie Zaleski returns to Pop Pantheon for part three of our Madonna series, covering the period in which Madonna fully solidified her status as one of the most important cultural figures of the modern era. DJ Louie and Annie discuss Madonna’s critically-adored, career-reimagining smash Ray of Light (1998), which saw her celebrate the epiphany of motherhood, her return to capital-f "Fun" on 2000's Music, and 2003's stilted American Life. Finally, they tackle her euphoric return to the club and last moment of true pop transcendence, 2005’s euphoric Confessions on a Dance Floor.
