Not so secret.September 29, 2006 Grant Wilmot 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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.
One of Madonna's best singles from the '90sDecember 19, 2005 hou_music(Houston, TX) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
"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.
no secret that this is one of the bestNovember 4, 2005 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Secret is one of the most beautiful ballads of Madonna's career with it's beautiful guitar and deep lyrical melodies. The remixes put me in a great party mood too
Absolutely fantastic!September 12, 2005 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
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!
My Baby's Got A Secret Great Remixes of This Classic Song!!!April 1, 2005 Reka Kovacs(CT) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a great R and B song from 1994's Bedtime Stories. This is the first single from the album. She says her baby's got a secret but we never really know what it is. Strong lyrics are "happiness lies in your own hands" which is true only you can make youself happy. "And it took her long to understand" but now she does maybe before she was not happy at all. The original Secret you can hear the guitar do wonders to the song in the beginning and a little throughout. Remixes are very catchy and uptempo and great to dance to. Remix 3 starts out with a beautiful piano beginning then gets really fast with some drums involved. Allstar Mix has some good rap in it with Madonna singing in the back. I highly recommend this maxi single it has the best remixes from BS and you will surely dance your but off. A+++
