20	''Madonna'' is the [[SelfTitledAlbum self-titled]] debut studio album recorded by the American {{pop}} musician [[Music/{{Madonna}} of the same name]]. It was released through Creator/SireRecords on July 27, 1983.
21
22	It contains her first three hits "Lucky Star", "Borderline" and "Holiday". At the time the album sold well, but got mixed reviews. After the success of her next album ''Music/LikeAVirgin'' (1985) it was re-released in Europe with a different album cover and title: ''Madonna The First Album''. Madonna herself has somewhat of CreatorBacklash over the album in the sense that she still likes the songs themselves, but felt that she didn't receive enough creative input in the production.

90	* SillyLoveSongs: Most of the material on this album are love songs in this vain.
91	* SpokenWordInMusic: "Everybody" starts with a heavily synthesized and spoken introduction with Madonna taking a loud intake of breath.
92	* UnrequitedLove:
93	** "Borderline"
94	--> ''You cause me so much pain, I think I'm going insane''
95	--> ''What does it take to make you see?''
96	--> ''You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline''
97	** "Burning Up"
98	--> ''You're always closing your door''
99	--> ''Well that only makes me want you more''
100	--> ''And day and night I cry for your love''
101	--> ''You're not convinced that that is enough to justify my wanting you''
