There was no reason Ray of Light should’ve been such a hit. After the collapse of grunge in the mid-90s, the music industry had begun to lean into the perky pubescence of Backstreet Boys and NSYNC. 1998 was the year that TRL launched on MTV, and soon after, Britney Spears would release her teasing teen debut,. Baby One More Time, catalyzing a string of young women-like fellow teens Christina Aguilera and Mandy Moore-to overrun the charts with coy love songs.

Ray of Light is the seventh album by Madonna, released on March 1998. The album is full of oriental themes, as a result of her conversion to Kabbalah, her study of Hinduism and Buddhism ad her practice of Yoga. It spawned five singles: "Frozen", "Ray of Light", "Drowned World/Substitute for Love", "The Power of Good-Bye" and "Nothing Really Matters". Ray of Light sold 20 million copies worldwide.

When Ray of Light dropped on Feb. 22, 1998, the world was already used to the idea of Madonna reinventing herself with each album. But even so, the Madonna Ciccone revealed on Ray of Light was a breathtaking departure from everything that had come before. Instead of pushing boundaries and pressing society's buttons with the smirk of a precocious child, the then-39-year-old singer was looking inward - and for the first time, she was admitting she didn't necessarily like what she saw. For a pop star and songwriter defined by her ferocious confidence, Ray of Light showed us that after.

Find info and lyrics for Ray Of Light, Madonna's 7th studio album produced by William Orbit. Four years after her last studio album Bedtime Stories, Madonna surprised the world with Ray Of Light. This album, being her 13th album and 7th studio album, was released worldwide on February 27, 1998, except in the States where it was released on March 3rd. Most critics agreed on one thing: this was a new Madonna. The controversy surrounding the Sex book and the Erotica album had faded away. The once called Material Girl had gone all spiritual. Major reason for this change was the birth of daughter Lourdes on October 14th 1996, which brought Madonna's life into a whole new dimension.

Ray of Light is the seventh studio album by American recording artist Madonna, released on February 22, 1998 by Maverick Records. After giving birth to her first child, Madonna started working on the album with producers Babyface and Patrick Leonard. Following failed sessions with them, Madonna pursued a new musical direction with English producer William Orbit.
