One of Madonna's best singles from the '90s

""Secret" was the first single of Madonna's "Bedtime Stories" CD. This single was a massive hit, going top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts and #1 on the Dance/Club chart in 1994. This is one of Madonna's finest singles.



Tracks 1 through 4 are absolute winners on here:



Track 1 - Album Edit



"Secret" originates as an R&B slow jam, co-produced by Dallas Austin. This track is so unique compared to the rest of Madonna's work.



Track 2 - Junior's Luscious Single Mix



The radio edit of Track #3 below.



Track 3 - Junior's Luscious Club Mix



This the one of the two remixes Junior Vasquez did for "Secret", and, being the most dance-floor friendly, this is the one that was most often played in dance clubs back in the day. It is classic mid '90s house music at its finest: it opens with a piano intro then leads into classic house beats and Madonna's vocal.



Track 4 - Junior's Sound Factory Mix



This mix is a bit more hard driving and synthesized than the "Luscious" mix, and a lot more compelling, emanating straight out of the NYC clubs. However, its equally as dance-floor friendly. The best part is when Junior loops Madonna's vocals "something coming over..." repeatedly in the track, a cool effect. This track also got its fair share of play in clubs back in '94.



The "Some Bizarre Mix" is also pretty good, but not as good as Junior's mixes. The only disappointment on this CD is Track #6.



This is a worthwhile investment for anyone who's a fan of '90s club music, Madonna, or Junior Vasquez. Junior's mixes for "Secret" are easily among the best he ever put out in his long career.

Not so secret.

"Great song, but the cd single contains a remix of the song that is even better than the album version.

The remix is called "Juniors Luscious single mix".

Whenever I listen to this song, this is the version I listen to.

Great buy for any Madonna fan.

Other remixes are o.k also."

Absolutely fantastic!

"This is a review for the "Secret" - US Maxi Single. There are 6 fabulous remixes. They are:-



1 - Secret - Edit - Just a shorter version of the album version.



2 - Secret - Junior's Luscious Single Mix - Excellent remix. I like it more than the album version!



3 - Secret - Junior's Luscious Club Mix - Another fantastic remix produced by Junior Vasquez, my fave remixer!



4 - Secret - Junior's Sound Factory Mix - The best remix on here. One of the best remixes #~EVER~#.



5 - Secret - Some Bizzare Mix - I didn't think I'd like this but it completely blew me away.



6 - Secret - Allstar Mix - Loved this one. The rap was cool.



"Secret" is one of Mo's best songs, and definately her best Maxi Single, along with "Bedtime Story", w/fantastic remixes by Junior and Orbit. Buy them both!"
