Louise paid tribute to Madonna in a gushing post on National Album Day.

The Eternal star took to social media to celebrate women in music on Saturday, as classic records from female artists were reissued in support of the campaign. 

“I’ve loved so many albums by female artists over the years across so many different genre’s,” she penned, “from Diana Ross’s The Boss (I still have the original cassette!), Janet Jackson’s Control (I could watch the music videos over and over), Kylie’s Rhythm Of Love (Kylie was the first concert I ever went to) and of course anything by Whitney! 

“Right through to some of my more recent favourite albums such as Nao’s ‘Saturn’, Kehlani’s ‘You Should Be Here’ and currently Laura Mvula’s ‘Pink Noise’.”

The Stretch singer went on to reveal the album that “played a big part in me wanting to be a pop star” was Madonna’s sophomore effort ‘True Blue’, as she shared her own recreation of the cover art.

“There is not one song on ‘True Blue’ that couldn’t have been a single and the 5 Madonna did release are to this day pop classics,” continued the hitmaker. 

“‘Live To Tell’, ‘Papa Don’t Preach’, ‘True Blue’, ‘Open Your Heart’ and ‘La Isla Bonita’ – these 5 songs themselves show what a masterpiece of pop this album really was! 

“There is not one person who couldn’t sing along to these songs!”

National Album Day is celebrating women in music with reissues of albums from stars including Kylie Minogue, Gabrielle, Belinda Carlisle, Dido, Stevie Nicks and more.
