Madonna – True Blue (LP Vinyl)

True Blue arrived at the peak of Madonna's commercial dominance, but what gets overlooked is how much creative control she had seized by this point, co-writing every track and co-producing the album with Patrick Leonard and Stephen Bray. The title track's doo-wop nostalgia and the political undertow of "Papa Don't Preach" showed an artist pushing well past the dance-floor persona the world had tried to lock her into.
