American Life, Madonna’s ninth studio album, was released on the 21st of April 2003 and is arguably Madonna’s most divisive album from her legendary career. In the years before its' release, Madonna’s music career had been riding high. But this imperial phase was to come to an abrupt end with with the release of American Life. Over the years it has become a firm fan favourite but at the time many considered it to be a flop.
The world had altered dramatically in the two and half years since her last album, Music’s release. 'American Life' was produced and released against the backdrop of a tense atmosphere in the US, a country still trying to recover from the September 11th attacks and a government planning a war with Iraq.
So why exactly, wasn’t the album a commercial success? What does the producer Mirwais think of the title track today? Which other female singers did Madonna invite to perform with her at the 03 VMAs? Why did Madonna decide to withdraw the 'American Life' video? And is the album really a masterpiece or was the whole era a mistake? This mini-documentary explores these questions and more.
