Album information

American Life is considered by many to be one of Madonna's riskiest and misunderstood works both commercially and artistically. The music on the album is a soundscape created with the heavy use of guitar, and of techno-esque beats and programming. The lyrics about the singer coming to terms with her celebrity status and her own life, criticizing the illusion that fame brings and affirming that love is what really brings fulfilment. Some may call it a concept album. Mirwais Ahmadzaï produced American Life alongside Madonna. For the comic book character previously known as Techno, see Fixer (comics). ... In popular music, a concept album is an album which is unified by a theme, which can be instrumental, compositional, narrative, or lyrical (Shuker 2002, p. ...

The release of the album started a commercial slump for Madonna in the United States, despite the fact that the debut single "Die Another Day" from that album - although not seen by Madonna herself as the debut - was a top ten hit. The album suffered commercially, in part due to controversy over the first proper single "American Life". The anti-war content of its music video was interpreted as being unpatriotic, making Madonna withdraw its release for American music channels. She issued a statement saying she did so because she believed it was not appropriate to air it at that time, and that she did not want to risk offending anyone who could misinterpret its meaning. The video was, however, released in Europe and Latin America, and did not avoid being leaked to the internet. Following the video controversy, the song charted at number thirty-seven on the Billboard Hot 100, a relative flop for Madonna. It was very successful in countries which had opposed to the war, such as Canada (where it peaked at number-one). Its success in Europe and Latin America made the single peak at number-one on the United World Chart.

The album received mixed reviews upon its release, and it earned the lowest sales of any Madonna album to date, both in the United States and in the rest of the world. American Life debuted at number-one on the Billboard 200 with 241,000 copies sold in its first week; it was her second consecutive number-one debut, and her fifth number-one overall in the United States. It also peaked at number-one in the United Kingdom, were it sold 300,000 copies, and at the United World Chart, with 4 million copies shifted.^[1]^[2] The Billboard 200 is a ranking of the 200 highest-selling music albums and EPs in the United States, published weekly by Billboard magazine. ...

The second single, "Hollywood", failed to chart in the Hot 100, becoming Madonna's first single in twenty years not to do so. Some claim this happened because many American radio stations refused to play Madonna because of the controversy around the original video for the previous single. The song was a top-five hit in Argentina, Canada, Italy, United Kingdom and on the United World Chart. The next single, "Nothing Fails", also failed to chart in the United States. It peaked in the top-ten in Argentina, Canada, Ireland, Italy and Spain. "Love Profusion", the album's final single, peaked in the top-ten only in Canada, Greece and Italy. It missed the top-ten of the UK Singles Chart by just one place. Beside the flop of all the other singles in the United States, the promotional releases "Nobody Knows Me" and "Mother and Father" became very successful in American night clubs, peaking high on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.

Recording process

Madonna started recording American Life in late 2001 after filming Swept Away with her husband Guy Ritchie in Europe. While recording the album in London, England, Madonna was also working on other projects such as her West-End appearance in the play Up For Grabs'. During the play's run, May-Jul 2002, Madonna worked on the album by day and performed in the evening, and played CDs of her budding album in her dressing room while getting ready. Madonna also did some more film work, filming her cameo-appearance in 2002 for the James Bond film Die Another Day. Swept Away is a 2002 romantic comedy film directed by Guy Ritchie and starring Madonna (Guy Ritchies wife), Adriano Giannini, and Bruce Greenwood. ...

Collaboration

American Life saw Madonna collaborate again with Music producer Mirwais Ahmadzaï, with whom she co-wrote and produced most of the songs on the album. Ahmadzaï is also credited for doing most of the programming and guitar-play on the album.

Madonna also collaborates again with Guy Sigsworth, with whom she had worked on Music. Madonna co-wrote the track "Nothing Fails" with him and British singer-songwriter Jem Griffiths. Sigsworth previously worked with Madonna on "What It Feels Like For A Girl."

Title, cover and direction

One of the first rumoured titles of the album was Ein Sof, which Madonna had mentioned in an interview with Larry King in October 2002 during the promotion for Swept Away. "Ein Sof" is Hebrew and means "no end". In early 2003 it was revealed that the working title for the album was Hollywood (a song on the album) until the final title American Life was confirmed on February 10, 2003. Ein Sof (Hebrew: without end denoting boundlessness), also known as Divine Being, is the name for God, within the Kabbalah of Judaism, as he is unknown, or the mysterious and ultimate source of all existence. ...

In mid-January 2003 in Los Angeles the photo shoot for the album was done by photographer Craig McDean. McDean had already worked with Madonna for the portfolio for Vanity Fair magazine in October 2002. According to unconfirmed reports the photo shoot cost $415,000. It had a military theme, with Madonna posing in dark greens and blacks, combat boots and with guns. Her hair was dyed dark brown and on the cover of the album Madonna is wearing a beret and is almost a copy of the famous image of revolutionary Che Guevara. Because of the paramilitary theme, the dyed hair and the artistic composition, some see a parallel between the album cover and the infamous news photo of kidnapped newspaper heiress Patty Hearst. Craig McDean (Born 1964, England) is a British fashion and portrait photographer based in New York City. ...

The French design-team M/M Paris were responsible for the artwork of American Life. M/M Paris is a partnership between Michael Amzalag and Mathias Augustyniak. The duo are perhaps best known for their collaborations with Icelandic pop singer Björk. This article is about the musician. ...

Downloads and website hack

To counter illegal Internet downloads of the album's songs both before and after the album's release, Madonna's associates created a number of false song-files of similar length and size. Some of these files delivered a brief message from Madonna saying "What the fuck do you think you're doing?" followed by minutes of silence. Other dummy files included Madonna quasi-rapping, "Thought you'd sneak past me, didn't you? Thought you'd get by me, now didn't you?" and an endless loop of the line "I'm drinking a soy latte, I get a double shoté, it goes right through my body and you know I'm satisfied" from the track "American Life".

However, this only served to throw down the gauntlet to some; Madonna's website was hacked, with a message appearing on the front saying "This is what the fuck I think I'm doing...", followed by download links for each of the album's songs.^[3]
