Music (album)

Music is the title of the eighth studio album recorded and released by American recording artist Madonna in September 2000. The album reached no.1 in both the UK and in the US album charts as well as in many other countries around the globe.

The album was preceded by the release of the title track as a single in August 2000, which also reached no.1 in the US and the UK and in other countries. Two further tracks were also released as singles, consolidating Madonna's commercial success in the new century.

Following on from her Ray of Light album, Music features influences from electronic dance music but also features elements of rock, country and folk music all combined in a palatable pop format. Madonna's representation as a 'cowgirl' emphasis he 'country and western' element, as do the promo videos made for the singles. The 'roots-check' had been further emphasised by the recording and release of a cover version of the classic US song American Pie, issued as a single in February 2000 and included as a bonus on some CD issues of Music.
