Unlike recent collections Music and Ray of Light, the lyrical content of
American Life relies less on spiritual introspection and more on
woman-in-the-mirror confrontation. Here, Madonna takes a look at where she's
been, where she's at, and where she hopes to go. Perhaps age, yoga, and the
teachings of the Kabbalah have truly enlightened Madonna about human
nature铘nd the reality that nobody's perfect. Musically, American Life
continues where Music left off, with stuttering beats and acoustic guitar
providing the bulk of the foundation. Highlights include the gorgeous
lullaby "X-Static Process," which is equal parts Joni Mitchell and Cat
Stevens; the tear-inducing "Nothing Fails," replete with gospel choir; the
electro-skewed "Mother and Father"; and the punky "Hollywood," which is this
album's "Ray of Light." Consider American Life Madonna's own version of Don
Miguel Ruiz's book The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal
Freedom.
