Finally Enough Love

It’s hard to think of an artist who has done more to bring club culture to mainstream pop than Madonna. The sound, yes, but also the sense of expressivity, freedom, refuge, celebration, and unity that the club inspires—qualities her music has embodied for 40-plus years. *Finally Enough Love* runs down a collection of edited remixes dating back to 1982’s “Everybody” (her first single) and through 2019’s “I Don’t Search I Find.” The ’80s tracks with John Benitez and Shep Pettibone are basically flawless (“Like a Prayer,” “Express Yourself,” “Vogue,” and “Into the Groove”), but a lot of the latter-day stuff holds up, too, in particular the ’90s house takes on “Secret” and “Deeper and Deeper,” and Avicii’s version of “Girl Gone Wild.”

The dance-pop icon selects her favorites remixes from a back catalog stuffed with club reworks, but her picks offer a curiously distorted look back at her history on the dancefloor.
