But Madonna, the fast-rising disco-pop star, had yet to demonstrate the musical range for which she would shortly become renowned. In fact, following the “Shaky” formula wasn’t such a bad idea considering the long-limbed Welshman would close the decade with 30 UK hit singles. When a British music magazine reported in early 1986 that Madonna was back in the studio recording something that sounded similar to Shakin’ Stevens, the news seemed like a flight of fancy from a journalist starved of anything substantial to report on. However, Madonna had few such concerns – as this song proved, the “Queen Of Pop” couldn’t put a musical foot wrong during the mid-80s. Released in mid-September 1986, True Blue was the sort of leftfield single that might have been career suicide for most artists who can only shift their sound ever so slightly if they want to keep things fresh.
