 Take A Bow With Madonna November 25, 2004

The song "Take A Bow" is one of Madonna's most gorgeous ballads to date. The song brought her back to the top (atleast in the U.S.) and showed the world she has talent.
1. In Da Soul Mix: This is my favorite Remix. It has a very R&B/Soul feel to it. Some much R&B/Sould, this remix sound very sensual.
2. In Da Soul Instrumental: The instrumental to the previous. The music to this remix is gorgeous, so an instrumental is A+.
3. Album Version: The orginal version We all know and Love. Simply perfection.
4. Album Instrumental: The beautiful music that only Madonna and Babyface could create, is housed hear, alone.
5. Silky Soul Mix: A very tame remix. It has a soft beat and says Soul unlike any other.
This cd is a must-have for your Madonna Collection!

The remixes on this single are not dance, but rather R&B grooves. The song lends itself very well to the mixes.

If you buy this for any reason, do it for track 2--InDaSoul Instrumental. I got this in college and never played anything else. My friends called it the sex-version. The smooth urban sound will get your libido going and works better than Viagra!The original may sound like a nice ballad about lost love but the R&B grooves will make you writhe in passion for that lost love for just one more night. There's also a version with vocals but it's the instrumental that leaves it all to your imagination. Light some candles and dim the lights. InDaSoul is in da house!

This maxi single has five tracks, all of them being different versions of "Take A Bow." First is the InDaSoul mix, next is the InDaSoul Instrumental, third is the album version, fourth is the album instrumental, and last is the Silky Soul Mix. The InDaSoul mix is a rather bouncy, summery mid-tempo version. It doesn't fit the mood of the song, but excusing that it's a pretty nice remix. The Silky Soul mix is truer to the original in terms of feel, but is pretty average. Both mixes are straight up R&B and jettison the original's dramatic ending. Probably only worth a purchase to hard core Madonna fans and collectors. Anyone who simply likes the song is better off buying Madonna's ballads compilation, Something To Remember, or Bedtime Stories, the album this song song originated from.

Not Madonna's best maxi-single, but a gem none the less. If you're looking for an upbeat, dance filled maxi single along the lines of many Madonna singles, this probably isn't the best purchase for you. However, if you're looking for a c.d. filled with silky smooth vocals, and nice light r&b groove, the only question is, why don't you own this maxi single yet? It starts out with the "InDaSoul Mix" which is a nice light r&b updated version of Take A Bow. Following is the instrumental mix. Then we have the classic album version, which was enough to push the song to #1 for seven weeks, that is followed by the instrumental mix. Then the crowning acheivement of the single, the "Silky Soul Mix". It's along the same lines as the first mix on the album, but it ups the ante with a heavier bass line and a few spots in which Madonna's vocals stray from the original.If you're not a fan of instrumentals, or Madonna's r&b influenced music, this single probably isn't for you (the same is said for those who love her club mixes). If you're a Madonna collector or a fan of smooth vocals with an r&b twist, purchase this c.d. for sure. It doesn't get more soul filled than this.
