Madonna is the debut studio album by American singer Madonna, released on July 27, 1983, by Sire Records.
In the late 1970s, Madonna had established herself as a singer in downtown New York City; alongside her Michigan boyfriend Stephen Bray, she put together a demo tape with four dance tracks and began pitching it around local nightclubs.
She managed to get Mark Kamins, the resident DJ at Danceteria, to play "Everybody" —one of the songs from the tape.
The song drew positive reception from the crowd, and Kamins took Madonna to Sire Records, where label president Seymour Stein signed her on for three twelve-inch singles.
Following its release on October 6, 1982, "Everybody" found success on the dance scene, and the label approved the recording of an album.
The original cover was shot by photographer Edo Bertoglio, while the sleeve was designed by Madonna's friend Martin Burgoyne. According to Seymour Stein, however, Madonna dismissed this cover as it "just wasn't iconic enough".
The official cover was shot by photographer Gary Heery and directed by Carin Goldberg. The image shows Madonna with short-cropped platinum hair, wearing a number of black rubber bangles on her hands and a dog chain around her throat.
