Like a Prayer

This album was truly her first artistic masterpiece. I mean, true blue and all her album before that are amazing, but like a prayer is so unique and beautiful, haunting and cohesive all in one. It’s like a catharsis. She’s always made amazing albums, but for the time I’m sure this was a bigger statement tha her albums to follow (ahem erotica, yes I’m skipping I’m breathless for this narrative). An inspiring masterpiece and just jaw dropping experience. Love to see it and I love all the funky elements yet 80s sounds that are in this. It stands out truly amongst the albums of the 80s!
