2016 reissue in a gatefold jacket - After coming hot off the trail of her Iconic and most Personal Like A Prayer, controversial Blonde Ambition Tour, Madonna decided to push the envelope more further with Justify My Love and the controversial Erotica album. This album picks up where Like A Prayer left off such as Heartache, Romance, Loss, and of course sex. Lead single Erotica generated a lot of controversies due to the sexual lyrics and the accompany video, which were banned from MTV, but aired after midnight. Despite this, its a pretty decent album with the melancholy songs Bad Girl, Rain, Words and In This Life, which the song was about two of her close friends passed away from AIDS. Overall songs like Bye Bye Baby, Waiting, and Words were written to actor Warren Beatty, whom she dated in 1990 and married actress Annette Benning, whom Madonna bashed in the song Thief Of Hearts with the lines "Here She Comes Acts Like She's Your Best Friend When You Turn Your Back and She's Up With Your Guy" Overall this a great album but can be considered the sequel to 1989's Like A Prayer.
