Madonna’s 1998 album Ray of Ligh, her collaboration with producer William Orbit, is one of her most iconic reinventions. The album arrived as the follow-up to 1994’s Bedtime Stories and 1992’s controversial Erotic, both of which marked a commercial downturn for the star.

Madonna’s long lost, Veronica Electronica, has finally emerged from the vaults. The special project was originally teased in the late ‘90s as an experimental companion to Ray of Light.

A companion to her 1998 downtempo LP Ray of Light, this collection is a series of fresh, future-forward edits, remixes, and demo tracks meant to expand the vision of the original album.

It is a very specific kind of flex to have to shelve an album because of the success of its prior partner record. This could happen only to very few artists, of which it did to Madonna. The undisputed queen of pop released her seventh album, 1998’s Ray of Light, to arguably the most favourable reception of her career, with many critics crowning it her magnum opus, winning four Grammy Awards and rounding off an impeccable run of releases.

Much anticipated set of remixes and lost songs give a glimpse of a great pop mind trying out new tricks.
