True Blue


True Blue is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Madonna and released on June 30, 1986 by Sire Records. Madonna worked with Stephen Bray and Patrick Leonard on this album while co-writing all the songs. Deemed as Madonna's most girlish album, True Blue deals with her visions of love, work, dreams as well as disappointments and was inspired by her then husband Sean Penn, to whom Madonna dedicated the album. Musically, the songs on this album took a different direction from her previous endeavours and incorporated classical music in her songs, in order to engage an older audience who have been sceptical to her music previously. The album has songs talking about love, freedom and in some cases about social issues like teenage pregnancy, in "Papa Don't Preach" while featuring instrumentation from rhythmic and acoustic guitars, drums, synthesizers and Cuban musical instruments.
