Description
Ray of Light is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Madoona, released on March 3rd, 1998 on Maverick Records. After giving birth to her daughter Lourdes, Madonna started working on her new album with producers Babyface, Patrick Leonard and English producer William Orbit. Musically, the album is a pop and dance record, yet it incorporates strong elements of electronic music within its composition, making it a departure from her previous work. Additionally, it incorporates several genres and subgenres, including techno, trip hop, drum and bass, ambient, rock and classical music. Vocally, the album saw Madonna sing using greater breadth and a fuller tone. Upom release, the album received universal acclaim, with reviewers commending the singer's new musical direction. They called it her "most adventurous" record, as well as its mature, restrained nature; the singer's vocals were also praised. Ray of Light won four Grammy Awards from a total of six nominations. Commercially, the album was also a success, peaking at #1 in fourteen countries. On the US Billboard 200, the album debuted and peaked at #2. Five singles were released from the album, including global top-five hits "Frozen" and "Ray of Light". Critics and scholars have noted the albums influence on popular music, especially how it helped bring electronic music into mainstream pop culture. They also noted the way in which Madonna was able to re-invent herself and remain fresh and contemporary amidst the more teen-pop based music of the period.
