Madonna‘s Erotica was a bold new direction for the singer. It still includes a reference to one of her biggest hits: “Vogue.” The producer behind Erotica explained why he and Madonna included that reference.
The connection between Madonna’s ‘Vogue’ and ‘Erotica’
Shep Pettibone is a dance artist who produced Madonna’s “Vogue.” After that, he collaborated with the Material Girl on Erotica, her most daring album. One hit song from that album, “Deeper and Deeper,” almost sounds like a downbeat take on “Vogue.” It even reuses the lyrics “Let your body move to the music.”
During a 2015 interview with Billboard, Pettibone was asked if he and the Queen of Pop intentionally included the “Vogue” shoutout in “Deeper and Deeper.” “Oh yeah, definitely,” he said. “We got to that point and we’re like, ‘What the hell. Let’s have fun with it.’ We had a lot of fun doing that album.
