MADONNATHON: FROZEN

Madonna's Ray of Light album from 1998 introduced a new musical direction for Madge and sparked a trend of electronic influenced music that spread like wildfire throughout the industry. The first single from ROL was Frozen. Full of string and Middle-Eastern influences, Frozen marked a sharp departure for Madonna. Fresh off the vocal work she had done for Evita, you can hear that Madonna's voice is stronger and her range increased on this beautiful electronic ballad. The song was a great success, reaching #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, hitting the top spot in many countries, and debuting at #1 in the UK (her first single to do so). The video, directed by Chris Cunningham, was shot in the Mojave Desert and contains some amazing special effects. Frozen is one of Madonna's most successful singles and certainly one of her most gorgeous videos. Take a look and enjoy Frozen or you are stupid.
