Madonna's 'Erotica' era gets love from social media 34 years after its release
"The house-inflected diss track from Madonna's divisive Erotica album is making the rounds via user dances and posts on TikTok and Instagram - and the star herself acknowledged the tune's virality. Wearing sunglasses and a leopard-print jacket, The Queen of Pop lip-synched a few bars of "Thief" on Instagram recently and captioned the post, "Hearts are meant to be broken.""
"As seductive and danceable as the song is, it was never released as a single from Erotica, an album that, according to Madonna, never got its due from critics or the public, since it arrived alongside the artist's controversial coffee table book, Sex. So, the song's embrace by social media - it trended on TikTok and recently posted its biggest streaming day ever on Spotify - is satisfying for Madonna fans and the Queen herself, as evident in her Instagram post."
Madonna's 1992 track "Thief of Hearts" from the Erotica album has surged in popularity on TikTok and Instagram through user dances and posts. Madonna lip-synched several bars on Instagram while wearing sunglasses and a leopard-print jacket, captioning the clip "Hearts are meant to be broken." The song was not released as a single and appeared on an album that faced backlash when it coincided with the controversial book Sex. "Thief of Hearts" features crashing glass and angry interludes and targets a woman alleged to have stolen Madonna's partner. The track recorded its biggest streaming day ever on Spotify amid the trend.
