Babyface co-wrote and co-produced "Take a Bow" with Madonna

Post-obit the release of Madonna's first book publication, Sex activity, the erotic thriller, Torso of Prove, her fifth studio album, Erotica, as well as her infamous TV interview with David Letterman in the early-to-mid 1990s, the media and public's backlash against Madonna's overtly sexual paradigm was at a peak.[1] [2] Madonna wanted to tone down her explicit prototype. Her offset attempt was to release the tender ballad "I'll Call up" from the soundtrack of the film With Honors.[one] Musically, she wanted to move in a new musical direction and started exploring new-jack R&B styles with a by and large mainstream, radio-friendly sound. This would somewhen become her sixth studio anthology, Bedtime Stories, released in October 1994.[3] In author Fred Bronson'due south The Billboard Book of Number 1 Hits, Madonna explained:

The idea going in was to juxtapose my singing style with a hardcore hip-hop sensibility and have the finished product still sound like a Madonna record. I began the procedure past coming together with the hip-hop producers whose work I most admired. It was important, if I were to employ a variety of collaborators, that the cease product sound cohesive and thematically whole. I wasn't interested in the variety pack approach.[4]

After searching for prospective collaborators, Madonna chose to work with Babyface, whose previous piece of work with artists like Whitney Houston, Boyz II Men, and Toni Braxton had resulted in successful shine R&B songs.[5] She was besides fond of Babyface'due south song, "When Tin I Come across You lot" from his third studio album For the Absurd in You lot (1994).[6] The vocaliser'due south management called Babyface to ready a meeting and encounter if they wanted to piece of work together. Once met, both were surprised by their camaraderie and wanted to write songs. Madonna came over to Babyface'due south house and after a couple of days they came up with two songs. I of them was based on a slice of music equanimous by Babyface, only he was non sure nearly its musical direction. He made Madonna mind to the composition, and she constitute a way to accept the song forward.[4] Babyface clarified that "[i]t was but a beat and the chords. From there we collaborated and built information technology up... I was living in Beverly Hills and I created a little studio in my house, so she came over at that place to write."[6] Together they agreed that the beginning line of the vocal should be its championship, and "Have a Bow" was written. The words were never repeated in the runway again.[4]

"Take a Bow" was released every bit the 2d single from Bedtime Stories on December vi, 1994, following "Surreptitious".[iv] [7] The maxi single release of the song included two remixes. According to Jose F. Promis of AllMusic, the first remix, known as the "In Da Soul" mix, gives the carol a funkier, more than urban feel while the 2d remix, known as the "Silky Soul Mix", is a piddling more than "tranquillity tempest" and "melancholy" than the first.[8]

On December 17, 2021, Madonna released the "Have a Bow" EP to all digital and streaming outlets.[nine] [ten]

Recording and limerick [edit]

"Accept a Bow" was recorded at The Hit Mill studios, New York, and was mastered and mixed at Sterling Sound Studios, New York.[11] Babyface recalled that he was nervous about recording with Madonna, since he feared that Madonna was a "perfectionist" in the studio, and that would ultimately be fourth dimension-consuming for the whole process. Nonetheless, it was one of the fastest recording and mixing. The song was backed by total orchestral strings and was besides the first time that Babyface had worked with live strings. He recalled that using strings in the song was "[Madonna's] suggestion, and it was Nellee Hooper who actually [arranged the strings]. She had worked with them earlier but for me it was a new experience".[four] Forth with Hooper, Jessie Leavey, Craig Armstrong and Susie Katiyama also worked on the strings and conducting.[11]

"Take a Bow" was written and produced by Madonna and Babyface, and is a midtempo pop R&B soul ballad with Japanese musical influences, like that of Kyu Sakamoto'south 1961 vocal, "Sukiyaki".[12] Information technology begins with sounds of oriental pentatonic strings, giving the impression of Chinese or Japanese opera. The verses consist of a descending chord sequence, containing twists at the finish. Madonna's vocals are in a "sleepy languid mood" that is characteristic of the songs from Bedtime Stories. The lyrics during the chorus talk well-nigh Madonna saying goodbye to a lover, who had taken her for granted. The title plays upon the verse in the vocal "all the globe is a stage and anybody has their part", a reference to a line by William Shakespeare in his play Equally Y'all Like It, "All the globe's a stage, and all the men and women mere players".[13]

In his volume Madonna: An Intimate Biography, author J. Randy Taraborrelli describes the vocal as a "somber, sarcastic, all-the-globe's-a-stage song about unrequited dearest... [about a subject area] whose phoniness might have fooled everyone else, but non her." He goes on to say that in the song Madonna tells the subject of her unrequited love to take a bow for "rendering a great, transparent performance in life and dear."[fourteen] Aslope the betrayal of her lover, the lyrics also talk well-nigh Madonna trying to sympathize the reasons behind adultery. Every bit the song progresses, the listener realizes that through the lyrics the singer was talking about herself—"One lonely star and y'all don't know who you lot are".[12] Co-ordinate to Musicnotes.com, the song has a moderate calypso feel and is set in the time signature of common time and progresses in 80 beats per minute. The composition is prepare in the cardinal of A ♭ major with Madonna'south vocal ranging from E ♭ 3 to C5. "Take a Bow" contains a basic sequence of A ♭ –B ♭ thousandseven/E ♭ –A ♭ –F ♭ maj7 during the opening strings, and A ♭ –A ♭ /G ♭ –Fm7 during the verses as its chord progression.[15]

Critical reception [edit]

A gorgeous melancholy carol of unrequitted honey, with the object of the singer's amore beingness someone who hides backside a office playing mask which only she can see... [Babyface] makes [the song] well-nigh a duet with Madonna, echoing her words with his high tenor wafting dreamily backside her, and the vocal'south minimalist arrangement is impeccably elegant.

—Writer Steve Sullivan's review of "Take a Bow" in Encyclopedia of Swell Pop Song Recordings, Book 2 [5]

He wrote; "Madonna'southward most successful single to date is a melancholic evisceration of a lover'southward artifice, and its hopeless plainly-spokenness makes it one of the finest examples of 90s balladry".[18] J. D. Considine of The Baltimore Sun stated that the vocal, about "innocent romance" has a "gently cascading melody".[19] In his review of Bedtime Stories, Billboard 'due south Paul Verna chosen it a "holiday banquet for Superlative 40, rhythm crossover, and Air-conditioning".[twenty] Reviewing the single, Billboard gave the unmarried a particularly positive review; "The follow-upwards to the tiptop five smash 'Hole-and-corner' [...] is as perfect as acme twoscore fare gets. This single has a delightful, immediately memorable melody and chorus, engaging romance-novel lyrics and a lead vocal that is both sweet and quietly soulful. A lovely style for [Madonna] to kick out '95".[21]

Y'all may not walk on water subsequently hearing it, merely you may want to go your focus dorsum past walking on cleaved drinking glass".[32]

Enio Chiola of PopMatters, included the vocal on his list of "Top 15 Madonna Singles of All Time". He opined that "['Take a Bow'] features a more than demure Madonna, confident in her termination of a doomed human relationship, and the music is accented by characteristically Asian orchestration and lovely poetic lyrics", final that "[Madonna] quickly learned that the style dorsum into the public'southward collective hearts was to focus more attending on the music than on the frankness of her sexual image".[33] Encyclopedia Madonnica writer Matthew Rettenmund called it a "sentimental ballad with showbiz theme" while finding similarities in the song to that of "Superstar" by The Carpenters.[34] Rikky Rooksby, writer of The Complete Guide to the Music of Madonna, was less impressed with the rails. Although he felt that it sounded "shockingly normal" afterward the "ambient 'Bedtime Story'", he found the vocal's length every bit over-long and deduced it to be "communica[ting] no sense whatsoever of the pain of a real cheerio."[13] Slant Magazine 's Sal Cinquemani, called it "syrupy and bittersweet".[35] In his book, Madonna: An Intimate Biography, J.

Music video [edit]

Background and release [edit]

The music video for "Take a Bow" was directed by Michael Haussman and is a lavish flow-style slice, filmed November 3–viii, 1994, in Ronda and in the bullring of Antequera, Spain.[58] In the video, Madonna wore a fitted, classic accommodate past British manner designer John Galliano.[59] The costumes worn past Madonna in the video were created by stylist Lori Goldstein, who received the VH1 Fashion and Media honour for best styling. Other designers who provided clothing included Donatella Versace and a then-unknown Christian Louboutin. Madonna had a 1940s style on her, with tight corset, silk dresses and a black-veiled lid. The plot of the video was set up in the 1940s, depicting Madonna equally a neglected lover of a bullfighter, played by existent-life Spanish actor and bullfighter Emilio Muñoz.[60] Madonna'southward character yearns for the bullfighter'southward presence, with erotic heartbreak.[60] [61] In an interview with MTV's Kurt Loder on the set of the music video, Madonna said that when she was initially writing "Take a Bow" the inspiration for the song was an role player, simply she wanted the male character in the video to exist a matador instead because she wanted the video to be near an "obsessive, tragic love story that doesn't piece of work out in the end" and a matador would be more visually effective in expressing the emotion of the song.[62]

Madonna arrived in Ronda in November 1994 with a team of 60 people and wanted to shoot at the bullrings in the urban center. However, her asking was rejected by the Existent Maestranza de Caballería of Ronda (Royal Cavalry Brotherhood of Ronda), who considered it as a desecration of the arenas if Madonna would have filmed in that location, since her name at that time was associated with provocative imagery. Likewise, Madonna had to give up shooting around the city'due south square due to high economic demands of its owner, erstwhile bullfighter Antonio Ordóñez who demanded ₧17 1000000 (US$122,302 in 1994). Later it was clarified that Madonna was refused due to unknown moral reasons from the Brotherhood, who accused the media of making free publicity on the singer'south behalf. The refusal generated controversy in Ronda, whose political groups believed that allowing the video to exist shot within its precipices would be great promotion for the city. Madonna later obtained permit to shoot within the palace of the Marquis of Salvatierra. Bullfighting scenes were shot at the Plaza de Toros de Ronda (The Toros Plaza of Ronda), where Muñoz acted alongside three fighting bulls. The role player was paid ₧7 million (Usa$fifty,360 in 1994) for participating in the video.[58]

The music video was released on November 22, 1994, on MTV. It was also office of VH1's relaunching promotional campaigns, where the channel used the video in its trio of 30 second commercials titled "The New VH1". The commercial showed a couple in a vintage porsche pulling in front of an ATM greenbacks machine. The man makes a transaction while the woman looks at VH1 playing at a store, showing "Accept a Bow". When the man turns back to the automobile, the woman is gone and can be seen inside the video alongside Madonna, while the singer appears in the car, and utters the tagline: "The new VH1... It'll suck you in". According to Abbey Konowitch, who worked on Madonna'south Maverick Records, the vocaliser had a long history with MTV and VH1, and hence was eager to participate in the campaign when asked by VH1 president John Sykes. For filming the commercial, the dress worn in the video had to be flown in from the dissimilar designers. Madonna was also impressed by the technology used in the commercial for transposing the woman and herself together.[63]

Synopsis and reception [edit]

Madonna afterwards she has been left physically abused past the torero in the video. The scenes were described by author Georges-Claude Guilbert every bit "demoralizing".

The music video begins showing Madonna, the torero (Muñoz), and the townspeople preparing for, then attending, a bullfight. A secondary staging in the video presents Madonna continuing or sitting virtually a television set in a room (lit by a single lite source from above), while a third staging depicts Madonna writhing around on a bed in her underwear as she watches Muñoz on the telly.[threescore] In the bullring, the torero kills the bull and and then comes home and physically and emotionally abuses Madonna. The video can be viewed as a argument on classism, supposing the bullfighter feels threatened and angered by the blueblood's station, resulting in his physically abusing so coldly abandoning her.[64]

The style of the music video has been compared to Castilian manager Pedro Almodóvar's 1986 film Matador, starring Antonio Banderas.[65] Madonna requested that Haussman give the video a Castilian theme considering, at the fourth dimension, she was lobbying for the role of Eva Perón in the picture show version of Evita. She subsequently sent a copy of the video to director Alan Parker as a fashion of "auditioning" for the role. Madonna eventually won the role of Perón.[66] The music video for Madonna'due south 1995 unmarried "You'll Meet" is considered a follow up to the "Have a Bow" music video, equally Madonna and Emilio Muñoz reprise their roles. In that video Madonna's graphic symbol walks out on Munoz'due south (bullfighter) character, leaving him behind in despair. Madonna'southward grapheme is and then seen on the railroad train and after on a plane, while Munoz'due south character tries to grab upwardly with her in vain.[67]

The video generated controversy with animal rights activists who accused the singer of glorifying bullfighting.[68] In Australia, music video program Video Hits ran a ticker along the lesser of the screen when the video was playing, stating that the producers of the plan did not endorse the glorification of the sport portrayed in the video, while ABC TV video programme Rage simply refused to play the video at all during their G-rated Top 50 programme. Madonna won Best Female Video honors at the 1995 MTV Video Music Awards for the "Take a Bow" music video. It was also nominated for All-time Art Direction in a Video, simply lost to Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson'south "Scream". The video besides came in at number 27 on VH1's fifty Sexiest Video Moments.[69] In 2012, the television program Actress included "Take a Bow" on their list of "The 10 Sexiest Madonna Music Videos."[70] It can also be constitute on the Madonna compilations, The Video Collection 93:99 (1999) and Celebration: The Video Drove (2009).[71] [72]

Analysis and bear on [edit]

Similar some of Madonna'southward previous music videos, such as "La Isla Bonita" and "Like a Prayer", religious imagery plays a large role in the music video. In the book Madonna'south Drowned Worlds the use of Catholic imagery in the video is discussed. Writer Santiago Fouz-Hernández points out that unlike Madonna's previous music videos, much of the religious imagery is associated with the torero, not Madonna, due to the fact that religious images are a strong office of the bullfighting ritual. It has also been argued that in the video Madonna "subverts the gender structure and masculine subjectivity implicit in traditional bullfighting." This is achieved through the "feminization of the matador and the emphasis on Madonna'south character" and also through Madonna's "dominant gaze" as she watches the matador perform."[73]

The music video for "Take a Bow" inspired Justin Timberlake's video for "SexyBack" (2006) and was later on tributed past Britney Spears' video for "Radar" (2009)

Roger Beebe, i of the authors of Medium Cool: Music Videos from Soundies to Cellphones, noted that the video was an example of "how music, image, and lyrics of a song possesses their own temporality". He explained that the "graceful" nature of the song was contrast to the repetitive scenes in the video, which he felt indicated that the protagonist has long been engaging in the activities, including the "demoralizing sexual practice scenes".[74] In Madonna as Postmodern Myth, author Georges-Claude Guilbert felt the video "defied feminists of the Marilyn Frye and Adrienne Rich variety, who see in the video a disgusting example of passé female submissiveness." Madonna responded to this criticism by stating "I don't believe that any organization should dictate to me what I tin and cannot do artistically."[68] Guilbert also noted the usage of religious iconography in the video, specially dubious representation of the Virgin. He explained that most of the times Madonna and the torero make love through the idiot box screen, implying that "i of their purity had to be maintained always".[75]

When discussing "Have a Bow", NPR Multimedia senior producer Keith Jenkins said the music video, with its "rich, sensually framed sepia tones", doesn't leave much to the imagination only rather, it becomes your imagination, with Madonna'southward vision "drill[ed] into your brain, unlocking your waking eye."[32] Carol Vernallis, author of Experiencing Music Video: Aesthetics and Cultural Context, noted that the video exemplified the lyrics of the vocal. She clarified that the scenes featuring Madonna and Muñoz dressing up and putting on their gloves pointed to storyline and lyrics that appeared after, the lyrics being "all the globe loves a clown". During that line Muñoz as the torero is seen with a fatuous expression, which Vernallis deduced every bit "the commencement of the story of possession and fame" in the video. When Madonna sings "I've always been in love with you", she appeared in the video as sometimes boyish and sometimes middle-aged. For Vernallis information technology was non clear if the imagery was literal or figurative of the lyrics, "embodying a lasting affection, every bit separate parts of Madonna's psyche, or as the exaggerated claims of a groupie." The writer also noted that the scene where Madonna pricks her paw with a needle makes her relationship with the torero every bit more ambiguous.[76] The costumes and melody in the video reminded Vernallis of the 1904 opera Madame Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini although with an inverted plotline. The scenes showing Madonna in an enclosed room with a single calorie-free bulb also drew comparisons to Glenn Close'south grapheme in the 1987 psychological thriller film, Fatal Attraction.[64] Some other observation by Vernallis was about the power struggle it showed in the video, with Madonna gradually losing and relegated to one corner of the room.[77]

The "Accept a Bow" video was a source of inspiration for Justin Timberlake'due south music video for his 2006 single, "SexyBack". According to Timberlake, he decided to work with director Michael Haussman on his "SexyBack" video because "Take a Bow" is one of his favorite Madonna videos. He went on to say "Even today, I still remember the visuals, the images, how he captured her. A lot of times, Madonna seems like she's the person in command, and in that video, she seemed vulnerable. It was a absurd thing to come across."[78] Co-ordinate to director Dave Meyers, the music video for Britney Spears' 2009 unmarried "Radar" is a "tribute" to Madonna's "Take a Bow" video. When speaking of Spears and the "Radar" video, Meyers explained, "[we were] looking for a fashion to take her into a gimmicky, classy environment. I felt empowered by referencing Madonna's ['Take a Bow'] video. Britney hasn't washed anything like that."[79]
