I think that from now on she will know everything. She is aware of it probably but these are rough demos. The album is going to sound better plus she has over 40 songs to pick from.
-
I can assure you that the new leaked tracks are indeed demos VERY ROUGH EARLY demos. I'm pretty sure the final work is safe and sound (and not finished yet anyway). Keep in mind that the first bunch of demos that leaked were just a sample of the set of demos that were stolen and came from the same place so there's nothing her team or anyone can do to prevent them from leaking the rest over the next days & weeks except not sharing them and not saying where to find them. It's pretty efficient since the "new" leaked ones are far more harder to find than the the ones from last week.

I think it will be an arena tour next time and it's perfect like that. She gave us two stadium tour with incredible numbers but I don't think a third one will bring such big numbers. But an arena tour is always successful and sold out. Knowing her, the price will be also higher than the previous tour so the gross will be very high too. I prefer to see sold out arenas than 50-70% filled stadiums.
She'll never do arenas in South America or Asia though.

This:
1. Living for Love - released in December, performed at Grammys on February 8 and remixes released on February 9 along with other tracks.
2. Rebel Heart - video and track released along with the album on March 10, remixes released three weeks later when the tour, starting late 2015, is announced.
3. Unapologetic Bitch - comes out early June just in time to become the hit of the summer, performed at the VMAs 2015.
4. Ghosttown - video premieres right before the VMAs and remixes are released in September shortly after the slightly controversial performance of UB at the VMAs.
5. Wash All Over Me (or another uptempo song) - video and song released as the tour opens late November in Australia/South America/Asia.

So after listening to these 6 new tracks and the other demos I can't help but want to ALMOST have a tour with all the new songs. I mean, how can she not perform these:
1. Rebel Heart
2. Living for Love
3. Unapologetic Bitch
4. Ghosttown
5. Illuminati (Interlude)
6. Bitch I'm Madonna
7. Devil Prays
8. Heartbreak City
And we haven't even heard two thirds of the finished album! She HAS to perform the songs above, period. I wouldn't mind also having Joan of Arc, Wash All Over Me and Inside Out performed.
I know she would never not perform her old hits but I really want a DWT kind of tracklist this time. I need it.

Since we've been getting rebel for the last decade or so... I'm ready to embrace #teamheart

Well, I mean when the song is offered on iTunes separately from the album, with its own cover art and everything. Like it was the case with the MDNA singles. That doesn't seem to be the case yet, no?
Correct.

FDRMX ‘Living For Love’ Single Review
The song starts with an EDM sound, which is actually good albeit confusing. After a few seconds, it already sounds as if it is a cut off Christina Aguilera’s Bionic or Lady Gaga’s Artpop. Not to mention that the released single cover is a throwback to the album cover photos of prominent EDM records back in 2010. Then Madonna’s voice arrives, and it eases all the confusion away. Madonna’s voice is as distinct as ever. It is still invigorating and uplifting. It movingly demands all attention; thus, the commanding presence of Madonna’s vocal performance is still the main advantage of her new track.
Lyrically, the song is inspiring. It is a good move from Madonna’s team to release “Living For Love” as the lead single. It is a well-written anthem for moving forward after a failed relationship. This empowering anthem becomes more powerful as the song reaches the chorus, where Madonna preaches how she is living for love and is not giving up. For artists who want to create a genuinely empowering anthem, perhaps they should learn from Madonna’s potentially canonical lines: “I could get caught up in bitterness / But I’m not dwelling on this crazy mess / I found freedom in the ugly truth / I deserve the best and it’s not you / I picked up my crown, put it back in my head / I can forgive, but I will never forget.”
The only major setback of “Living For Love” is its lack of originality. The sound of the song has already been popular four years ago, and it does not help that this is the sound of Madonna’s new song. While it is commendable for its lyrical accomplishment, it still hurts to hear such a powerful anthem in an already dated tune. The song has the commanding vocals of Madonna along with such formidable lyrics, why settle for a less than phenomenal sound?

But has LFL been fully released as a single already? It seems to me it was just sent to radios for now, no? I mean, we don't have any cover, anything.
It depends what you mean by fully. No remixes have been released yet or cover art for that matter. But it has been released in the US and can/should chart. You can't download it in the UK though.

Someone please explain to me how this is possible
iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/living-for-love/id953579555
- Expected Release: 20 February 2015
- ℗ 2014 Boy Toy, Inc.,
Like when the single radio premiere will be? 20 Feb.?
Official album release is March 10, 2015.
Album pre-release was December 20, 2014.
More songs will be "pre-released" on February 9, 2015. (A day after the Grammys... wink wink)
In the UK, the LFL single will be released on February 20, 2015. You can pre-order it now. The UK charts only count sales and not airplay so all the "pre-sale" units will be added in the first week numbers.
In the US, LFL was released on December 20, 2014, and is eligible to chart already but without a video, streaming and mostly airplay, it won't chart high if at all at first. A Top 10 will depend on radio and/or massive sales.

My local radio station in South Germany just had a short phone interview with her!!!
Any new info??
-
You should try this!
-
i love the songs but face it she's commercialy over!
-
So, you haven't listened to any of the leaks then?
What does that have to do with you accusing her of being behind the leaks?
What logic would prompt that question to be asked from my remarks?

Pharrel, P Diddy, Ariana Grande, RuPaul... is that it?
Everyone else I don't know is not a celebrity.

I love DP, no pun intended.
Thanks for clarifying!

My guess is that UB and BIM were part of the Rebel "chunk" and would be released with the second half of the album since LFL is clearly a Heart "chunk" song along with Ghosttown and Devil Prays. We'll never know now, will we?
-
UB is about Brahim
LFL is about Guy
JLuz was only mentioned "on the steps" in IDGA...

I expect her to open the show with Alicia on backing vocals and a huge choir. She's taking us to church and she'll be literally lifted up away from the stage at the end.. Poof! Disappear!
She'll ascend to heaven!

LOL :-)
mnino you're funny!

I'm not talking about quality, I'm talking about critical acclaim (at the time of its release) and a general consensus that she'd hit a peak of some kind. I prefer Erotica to ROL and Music to COADF as well. Either way, it was just for fun. Every third album seems to hit the right combo of creativity and acclaim.
The stars seem to align every third album...
Will "Unapologetic Bitch" still become a single?

That is a waste of money is she doesn't have a message to spread. If she only shoots videos because of single/album sales then sure, you're right. But MAYBE she has a point of view that she wants to put across in video format, it's a long shot but she may be thirsty to make a point. She worked really heard on this album and probably wants EVERYONE in the world to hear it. Releasing more singles would increase its chance of exposure.
