I’m Breathless Soundtrack
Madonna
Review:
“A collection of songs featured or inspired by the comic-book-turned-movie Dick Tracy, I’m Breathless is essentially Madonna’s take on popular music from the ‘40s, particularly big-band pop. Although her singing shows a surprising amount of range, the material tends to be nothing more than cutesy novelty numbers, like the double entendre-laden hit Hanky Panky” (Erlewine).

I’m Breathless approaches greatness only on Vogue, a hit single tacked on to the end of the record. Featuring an endlessly deep house groove and an instantly memorable melody, ‘Vogue’ is a detatched, affectionate celebration of transcendent pop and gay culture and stands as Madonna’s finest single moment” (Erlewine).
