It is for the prokie (a less publicized but still more populous stratum than yuppie or preppie) that True Blue is written. Singing better than ever, Madonna stakes her claim as the pop poet of lower-middle-class America. On “Where’s the Party,” she presents a concise manifesto for the straphanging classes: “Couldn’t wait to get older/Thought I’d have so much fun/Guess I’m one of the grown-ups/Now I have to get the job done.” […] Produced by Madonna with Pat Leonard and Stephen Bray, the sound of True Blue is yet another canny move. Armed with the success of “Into the Groove” (an unretouched eight-track demo by Bray and Madonna that epitomizes dance-pop perfection), M. resisted any temptation to reach for the kind of tour de force production Nile Rodgers achieved on Like a Virgin. Instead, we have a clean, accessible record assembled by a singer and songwriters to showcase material and performances. And (excepting the “Both Sides Now” rewrite “Live to Tell”) it’s true blue to Madonna’s disco roots.
