I never thought Madonna would deliver a seductive rnb vocal again, and yet this is an unequivocal studio stoned peak on Confessions II's thrilling, downbeat and disparate 2nd half. Seductive, atmospheric bliss - Madonna's hushed Erotica/Bedtime Stories mode is hypnotic and full of judicious and sensual world-weary command as if this had been her permanent habitat ever since confessing her baby had a secret. And it's only 3 and a half minutes long - this could easily have been 5 or 6 such is the rich-textured luxury. What a strike rate this album has.
