American Life

Madonna’s American Life is one of her most self-examining records, pairing electronic pop with acoustic textures and a sharp sense of social commentary.

Released in 2003, it catches Madonna turning a clear eye toward fame, materialism and the American Dream, without losing her feel for bold, memorable songwriting.

Highlights include Hollywood, Love Profusion and the cinematic Bond theme Die Another Day, each helping shape an album that feels provocative, personal and distinctly its own.
