LISTEN: The long-forgotten Madonna R&B bop that even she probably doesn’t remember recording
Madonna‘s ninth studio album American Life. Though critics and fans were divided over it at the time, today it is remembered as one of the most daring, boundary-pushing, and forward-thinking albums of her career.At the time, Madonna promoted American Life with a small promo tour, four singles (and three music videos), and that iconic performance with Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Missy Elliot at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.Then in the fall of 2003, she released the Remixed & Revisited EP as a final promotional push for the album, which had proven to be a commercial dud, as well as to close out her contract with Maverick Records.While largely thought of a throwaway project today, the seven-track EP contained four remixed songs from American Life, plus a remix of Madonna’s 1985 single “Into the Groove”, the live performance from the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, and the song “Your Honesty.”Madonna originally wrote “Your Honesty” in 1994 with producer Dallas Austin during the Bedtime Stories recording sessions.
