 MADONNA

RAIN
UK 1993 LIMITED ISSUE, 31 YEARS OLD, RARE VINTAGE


1. Rain (Radio Remix)

From album Erotica ('92), it is a pop ballad with trip-hop & new-age music influence. Lyrically the song likens rain to the empowering effect of love & as with water's ability to cleanse & wash away pain. Acclaimed by critics, it hit #14 on the USA Billboard Hot 100 & was a Top-10 hit in Australia, Canada, Ireland, Italy, Japan & the UK.

  

2. Up Down Suite (Dub)

Previously an unreleased track, it is a dub version of Goodbye to Innocence (an omitted song recorded by Madonna during the Erotica album sessions).


3. Open Your Heart

From album True Blue ('86), it was originally a rock & roll song titled Follow Your Heart written for singer Cyndi Lauper. Looking for new songs, Madonna accepted & transformed it into a dance-pop track. It is an innuendo-laden love song, where she expresses her sexual desire. Critically acclaimed, it hit the Top-10 Charts in Belgium, Canada, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, the UK & the top of the Billboard Hot 100, making it her 5th #1 single in the USA.
