Description. Produced with William Orbit, 1998's "Ray Of Light" was a watershed album for Madonna. The March release debuted at No. 2 in the U.S. (stuck behind the "Titanic" soundtrack) and at No. 1 around the world. It garnered six Grammy nominations (including album and record of the year) and nine MTV Video Music Award nods.

- Although the project’s synth-centric final results earned her the passing nickname Veronica Electronica, Madonna didn’t initially plan to work with songwriter Rick Nowels or producer William Orbit.
- Ray of Light is largely about spiritual transformation, but one song deals with the perils of hard drugs. “Candy Perfume Girl” came out of a two-week writing and recording stint between Orbit and Susannah Melvoin, daughter of top L.A.
- The album’s defining techno-rock title track was based on an obscure folk oldie. Just as Orbit offered Madonna his Melvoin material, he similarly sent her a tape featuring unreleased work with Christine Leach, an English singer who’d co-written and sang with Strange Cargo.
- Despite the borrowing, Madonna’s Ray of Light collaborators consider the icon to be a top-level musical mind. Having co-written and co-produced significant chunks of many Madonna albums, including Ray of Light, as well as serving as her keyboardist and musical director on two major tours, Patrick Leonard has worked with Madonna longer and more extensively than any other musician.
