Inspired by @POP! 's thread on 'Bad Girl'.
I know that the answer will most likely be Erotica but, in recent months I've really warmed to Rebel Heart and I think it is one of her most underrated albums.
Now hear me out before you cry out 'justice for Erotica'.
I think Erotica has always had underground hipster appeal, and it is increasingly reassessed as an important installation in the canon. The so-called 'career-ending' album that actually ended up proving that whilst she is not infallible, she most certainly is resilient.
Rebel Heart on the other hand, came and went without so much as a splash because for one the whole thing leaked, and when she wasn't making social media gaffes about 'artistic rape' she was being pulled by a cape down the stairs live on stage.
It is an overwrought, overlong album that sounds more like a Spotify playlist than a proper album but it's got some of her best songwriting in years. Should and could have done better.
