Still, the album's greatest surprise is probably "One More Chance." One of two totally new tunes on the album, this David Foster song is quite demanding vocally, requiring a wider range and more power than anything else on the album. There's no doubt of the protagonist's desire you can almost hear the ache in her voice as it arches up on the word "want." But because the lyric insists on wanting "the right way," Madonna never lets that "want" turn into "have," and the resulting tension makes the performance sexier than anything on the "Erotica" album. Her remake of Marvin Gaye's itchily erotic "I Want You" is perhaps the album's strongest piece of character work. "Oh Father" makes its point almost entirely through vocal color, contrasting high-voiced girlish doubt against deep, womanly determination "Live to Tell," on the other hand, does it all through phrasing, pushing ahead of the accompaniment at some points and dragging behind the beat at others to reflect the character's emotional turmoil. That sense of the dramatic can be heard elsewhere on the album, too, but Madonna rarely relies on the same trick twice.
