Four star

THE second collection further proves why Madonna has clung to her crown as the Queen of Pop for two decades.

This selection from the 90s reveals a confident and relaxed Madonna as she muses on her favourite topics - love and sex.

The diva-actress-icon gives free reign to her sensuality in the originally controversial Erotica. And she's keen to explain What It Feels Like For A Girl.

Her musical journey through the closing years of the last century explores Human Nature as she lets out her Secret and tells us an ethereal Bedtime Story with a little help from Bjork.

The track Frozen is cool indeed. The cover blurb informs it was originally commissioned for a Haagen Dazs advert but was rejected because of its unearthly qualities.

Things turn bittersweet with The Power of Good-Bye but are more upbeat with Don't Tell Me.

The catchiest track is Beautiful Stranger from the soundtrack of Austin Powers The Spy Who Shagged Me and, of course, there's Don't Cry For Me Argentina.

Just the album to curl up with a loved one on a winter's evening and be tender together.
