Which Confessions II track contains elements from Lil Louis's 'French Kiss'?

“Which Confessions II track contains elements from Lil Louis’s ‘French Kiss’?” — “I Feel So Free.” The song uses material from Lil Louis’s 1989 acid-house track, linking Madonna’s new dance record to an important early Chicago house classic.

“I Feel So Free” is the opening track and was released as a promotional single before the album. Its deep-house and post-disco production features Madonna in a restrained, half-sung, half-whispered vocal style. The song’s subject is the freedom of disappearing into a crowded dance floor, where anonymity allows her to create “a new persona.”

The credit is sometimes described loosely as a sample, but the album’s sample notes say it contains elements from “French Kiss.” That distinction matters: “French Kiss” is famous for its extended, erotic vocal effects and slowly shifting tempo, while Madonna’s track incorporates its influence into a modern club arrangement rather than simply reproducing the whole recording.

The track also recalls Madonna’s long relationship with dance music. “Confessions on a Dance Floor” was built around disco and club references, and “Confessions II” continues that approach with a continuous DJ-mix structure and several samples or interpolations.
