You Can Dance

To quote Blender on You Can Dance’s questionable usefulness: “since when was it difficult to dance to Madonna records?” Yet here is 1987’s remix album/compilation, a stopgap and money-machine if ever there was one. Ever the control freak, Madonna hated it when others remixed her material, so she decided to do it herself. The results are inessential to her legend, but the songs are still uniformly strong even if their remixing makes them dated and flabby where some of the originals have barely gained a pound. It’s all a bit superfluous, but you won’t find underrated gem “Spotlight” anywhere else.
