Bedtime Stories w/ Michael Snydel (Madonna, Episode 8)

Discussion about Bedtime Stories, released in 1994 and two years after Erotica, is defined by the conscious “softening” of Madonna’s image. And as Tristan and former film critic and podcaster Michael Snydel address, that shift, especially in her embrace of contemporary R&B sounds, isn’t always successful, even as the record has a bit more edge than its been given credit for.
