"Vogue" was released on
March 27, 1990 as the lead single of the soundtrack album I'm
Breathless (1990). Madonna was inspired by vogue dancers and
choreographers Jose Gutierez Xtravaganza and Luis Xtravaganza
from the Harlem House Ball community, the origin of the dance
form, and they introduced Vogueing to her at the Sound Factory
club in New York City. "Vogue" is an upbeat house song which
set trends in dance music in the 1990s with strong influences
of 1970s disco within its composition. It also contains a
spoken section, in which Madonna name-checks various
golden-era Hollywood celebrities. Lyrically, the song is about
enjoying oneself on the dance floor no matter who one is, and
it contains a theme of escapism. "Vogue" reached the no.1 spot
in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia,
Italy, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Norway, and New Zealand. At
the end of the year 1990 the song landed at the runner-up slot
of the Global Countdown Chart with a total of 8.575.000
points. |
