I'm Breathless: Music from and Inspired by the film Dick Tracy is the second soundtrack album by American singer-songwriter Madonna, released on May 22, 1990, by Sire Records. It was recorded to promote and accompany the film Dick Tracy, released in the summer of 1990.
With songs from or inspired by the film Dick Tracy, the album is an eclectic mix of soundtrack numbers and other songs. The album, musically, consists predominantly of Broadway showtune-flavoured jazz, swing and big band tracks inspired by the music of the 1940s; despite this, however, there are traces of contemporary pop music within the album, including the final song, "Vogue", which is a dance-pop track with a house beat and disco influences. The album contains "Sooner or Later", a jazz song from the film composed by Stephen Sondheim which went on to win the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 1991 awards.
Overall, the album received a mixed reception from music critics; reviewers applauded Stephen Sondheim numbers, as well as the final track "Vogue", and Madonna's vocals were praised; however, some deemed the non-film songs to be of little value. The album was commercially successful; it reached the top ten in the US as well as in several other countries. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified it Gold, Platinum and 2x Platinum on July 30, 1990, denoting two million shipments in the United States and has sold more than 7 million copies worldwide.
