Love her or hate her (or both) she's here to stay...and if she continues to make music like this then I'm glad to have her. Forget Like A Virgin, Vogue and even the phenomenal Justify My Love ....this album is an amazing leap for the Material Girl. Finally a Madonna album that's more about the music than the media. A solid piece of work, an ingenious collaboration with Willam Orbit, by far her best songwriting, Ray Of Light is a defining moment for an artist who has had several. It's as good as popular music gets.
