Retrieved August 29, 2012.By 1992, Madonna was an icon—untouchable, literally and figuratively—and Erotica was the first time the artist's music took on a decidedly combative, even threatening tone, and most people didn't want to hear it. Erotica 's irrefutable unsexiness probably says more about the sex=death mentality of the early '90s than any other musical document of its time. This is not Madonna at her creative zenith. This is Madonna at her most important, at her most relevant. No one else in the mainstream at that time dared to talk about sex, love, and death with such frankness and fearlessness." a b "The Gringos Are Coming!". Billboard. Vol.106, no.48.

Fever" was released as the fourth single of the album in March 1993 in Europe and Australia. It became a top-ten hit in several European countries including Finland, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, [35] [36] [41] while topping the Dance Club Songs chart without a North American release. [42]I remember when Madonna and I first started working together on Erotica. We were listening in my home studio to one of the first songs and I turned to her and said 'It's great, but it's no ' Vogue'. She told me that not every song could be 'Vogue' – not every cut could emerge as the top-selling record of all time. She was right, but I pressed my case anyway: "I guess I'm always trying to out-top myself, the next thing should be bigger than the last." Madonna just turned and looked me straight in the eye. She said, "Shep, no matter how fierce something is, you can't ever do the same thing twice." I know for a fact that I bought my own copy on [Wednesday] Oct. 14th 1992 (I've kept the receipt in a 1992 diary for all these years). When Madonna was interviewed on French TV on October 10th 1992, the journalist showed the CD and said "Don't run to the stores right now, it will only be available on [Friday] Oct. 16th" ( https://youtu.be/3ZvnL9LolQ8?t=200).
