Episode Nine - Madonna - American Life

Grab your soy lattés with double shotés and gear up for our first episode after our (impromptu) summer hiatus. Madonna’s ninth studio album, American Life, was one of her least commercially viable albums but has become a fan favourite in recent years. In this episode, we dive deep into the album’s controversial quasi-political context, confrontational sonic nature, overall peculiarity, and recent reappraisal. Spoiler alert: this is probably the first episode where we outright disagree with the contemporaneous critical consensus of a Madonna album.
