Limited double 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Ray of Light
is the seventh studio album by Madonna, originally released on February
22, 1998. A departure from her previous work, Ray of Light is an
electronica, dance and techno-pop album which incorporates several
genres, including ambient, trip hop and house music. Vocally, the album
saw Madonna sing with greater breadth and a fuller tone. Mystical themes
are also strongly present in both lyrics and music as a result of
Madonna embracing Kabbalah, her study of Hinduism and Buddhism, as well
as her daily practice of Hatha Yoga. Ray of Light won four Grammy Awards
from a total of six nominations. Commercially, the album peaked at #1
in many countries, such as Australia, Canada, Germany, and the United
Kingdom. On the US Billboard 200, the album debuted and peaked at #2,
with the biggest first week sales by a female artist at the time. Ray of
Light has sold more than 16 million copies worldwide.
