A compilation of songs recorded before Madonna made it big. These songs all have a certain techno-pop feel to them, causing them to sound quite different from her original pop hits.

I'm Breathless (1990)

Although not as popular as her other albums, this soundtrack from the movie "Dick Tracy" has a definite old-fashioned style to it with songs such as Hanky Panky, He's A Man, Something To Remember, and the dance smash, Vogue.

Ray Of Light (1998)

This album, which was co-produced by William Orbit and is her seventh studio album, contains tracks with an ambient, eerie feeling to them. You'll be mesmerized by songs such as the first release, Frozen, and the title track, Ray Of Light, plus the pseudo-ballad, The Power Of Good-Bye, and the catchy single, Sky Fits Heaven.

In addition, the lyrics for three unreleased demo songs, Gone, Gone, Gone, Like A Flower, and Revenge are available.

Confessions On A Dance Floor (2005)

On this guilty pleasure album - her tenth studio album - Madonna returns unapologetically to her dance music roots. The music is both nostalgic and forward-reaching, blending musical styles with one foot in early disco and the other pointed toward the future.

Hard Candy (2008)

As Madonna's eleventh (and final) studio recording for Warner Bros., this album is a brilliant up-tempo collection that adds a hip-hop beat to her vast array of styles, thanks to collaborations with Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams, and Nate "Danja" Hills.

This album has been met with mixed reviews, but contains some strong pieces, including the beautiful ballad Masterpiece, and the dance tracks Give Me All Your Luvin' and Girl Gone Wild.
