For Women’s History Month, I’m selecting some of my favorite songs from some of the most talented and influential women in music. From frontwomen to singer-songwriters to iconic performers, I’m picking one song a day on Mental Jukebox until the end of March.
An unusual album from Madonna spawned quite an unusual song. This was Madonna’s foray into the electronic world. In a strange twist of events, it barely charted as a single, despite being considered one of the best dance tracks of her career. In many ways, it was the Un-Madonna track. One of a couple of songs about her daughter Lourdes from Ray of Light, “Nothing Really Matters” was deeply personal and a shining example of Madonna’s evolution as a singer.
“Love is all we need. Everything I give you, all comes back to me.”
