- Ray_of_Light abstract "Ray of Light is the seventh studio album by American singer Madonna, released on March 3, 1998 by Maverick Records. After giving birth to her first child, Lourdes, Madonna started working on the album with producers Babyface and Patrick Leonard. Following failed sessions with them, Madonna pursued a new musical direction with English producer William Orbit. The recording took place over four months, and experienced problems with the hardware Pro Tools arrangement by Orbit, which would break down, and recording would have to be delayed until they could be repaired, as well as the absence of live bands.Ray of Light is a pop and electronica record that incorporates strong elements of dance music within its composition, making it a departure from her previous work. Additionally, it incorporates several genres and subgenres, including techno, trip hop, drum and bass, ambient, rock, and classical music. Vocally, the album saw Madonna sing using greater breadth and a fuller tone. Oriental themes are also present on the album, as a result from her conversion to Kabbalah, her study of Hinduism and Buddhism, as well as her daily practice of Yoga; songs like "Sky Fits Heaven" and "Shanti/Ashtangi" are examples from these activities.The album received universal acclaim, with reviewers commending the singer's new musical direction. They called it her "most adventurous" record, as well as noting its mature, restrained nature; the singer's vocals were also praised. Ray of Light won four Grammy Awards from a total of six nominations. The album was also a worldwide commercial success, peaking at number one in at least 17 countries. On the US Billboard 200, the album debuted and peaked at number two. Ray of Light has accumulated global sales of over 16 million copies.Five singles were released from the album, including the international chart-topper "Frozen" and the top-five hit "Ray of Light". The album's promotion was later supported by the Drowned World Tour in 2001. Critics and scholars have noted the album's influence on popular music, especially how it widely introduced electronic music into mainstream pop audience. They also noted the way in which Madonna was able to re-invent herself and remain fresh and contemporary amidst the more teen pop-based music of the period. The album has been included in many critic lists and polls, including Rolling Stone magazine's "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time".".
