The Velvet Rope — 1997

An intimate, adventurous record of identity and desire, her most personal. Sleek and acclaimed. A creative high. Later output that justifies the journey through the back catalogue.

On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
