The last thing I would like to talk about is the mention of The Drowned World Tour being part of her most mature era. Since that tour promoted the Ray Of Lies album, I will tell you why the Ray Of Light album was a cheap rip-off and poor attempt by Madonna to look mature.These two albums explored and experimented with new sounds and styles. It is also notbaly to state that these albums incorporate influences of electronic music before
Ray Of Lies was released.

Wikipedia: "Mark Roland
drew comparisons with the music of St Etienne and Björk's Homogenic album, highlighting Ray of Light's lack of cynicism as its most positive aspect; "It's not an album turned on the lathe of cynical pop manipulation, rather it's been squished out of a lump of clay on a foot-powered wheel. Lovingly teased into life, "Ray Of Light" is like the ugly mug that doesn't match but is all the more special because of it."
"Homogenic was highly acclaimed on its initial release and continues to be praised by critics, with Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine stating that "if not the
greatest electronic album of all time, it's certainly
the greatest of its decade".

Wikipedia: "Billboard's Larry Flick described the album as "stunning", concluding that "it's a golden commercial opportunity for a major [record company] with vision and energy [to release it in the United States]. A sharp ear will detect a
kinship between Impossible Princess and Madonna's hugely successful album, Ray of Light."
- "Together they embarked on a series of trips across the United States and southern China on
a mission of self-discovery. The trips and her relationship with Sednaoui made Minogue feel free to
express her own creativity and talent."
Madonna: "I feel that talking about it trivializes it. I've been studying the Cabala, which is the mystical interpretation of the Torah. I've studied Buddhism and Hinduism and I've been practicing yoga and obviously I know a lot about Catholicism. There are indisputable truths that connect all of them, and I find that very comforting and kind.
My spiritual journey is to be open to everything. Pay attention to what makes sense, be absorbed. For me, yoga is the closest thing to our real nature."
- Both albums are reflections of Kylie's and Madonna's past and how they feel as they have matured and changed from who they used to be.
LIES! If Madonna claimed that she would be more spiritual and she would be a new person, why would she continue to steal (especially for this album- in which many of the lyrics were written by others)? Why did she go back to flashing her nipples on stage? If anything, this just shows
how fake Madonna and her "re-inventions" are. You can't claim to be "spiritual and changed" in one album and then go back to being a sl-t on stage in the next.
Let's not forget that the reason the
album is praised is due to William Orbit's electronic production, which many praised for its "fresh, experimental and futuristic sound."
