billboard gave it a fab review!
When listening to Madonna sing a line like "Took me to heaven, let me fall down/Now that it's over, I'm gonna carry on" on new single "Living For Love," it's hard not to think of the disappointment the pop queen felt earlier this week, when her thirteenth album leaked online in demo form before it was even officially announced. Fortunately for fans, that initial shock is over, and Madge is carrying on with an album release -- "Living For Love" previews Rebel Heart, now due out in March, and hints at the defiant pose that the follow-up to 2012's MDNA may strike after a few overstuffed dance projects.
Unlike Madonna's previous two lead singles, the pre-EDM banger "4 Minutes" and the cheerleader pep talk "Give Me All Your Luvin'," "Living For Love" leaves its focus on its lyrics, with the singer beginning over a regal piano line that's eventually joined by pulsing percussion. The confidence Madonna displays on the track recalls singular classics like "Express Yourself" and "Like A Prayer," and when the song weaves its way toward a throbbing drop, Madonna continues crooning, refusing to be relegated to the background. "Living For Love" sounds like a giddy combination of Madonna's past and present, and represents an encouraging sign for a 2015 project that was unexpectedly thrown into jeopardy at the end of 2014.

I love the line '....a giddy combination of Madonna's past and present', which pretty much sums it op. the demo leaks would have destroyed a lesser mortal. Madonna triumphs because she's delivering the material (girl)!

This and Illuminati would sound killer on a great club sound system.

The funny thing is, google 'images of illuminati' and you get pictures of Jay Z, Beyonce, Rihanna and Obama, etc. conspiracies!

I gave up Facebook and Twitter over a year ago (I am still in JOMO mode: the Joy of Missing Out) because of the general trend for nastiness by trolls and people thinking they can criticize without a filter. It's always refreshing to see celebs support other celebs.

My work colleague just downloaded the iTunes tracks and we're listening to them
Devil Pray slays my whole existence.
This final mix of Devil Pray is perfect from start to finish. She can use this instead of LIB and OYH on tour!

I'm loving the positivity on this forum!

Has anyone else literally shed tears? Not speaking in hyperbole here. Christ on the cross, Merry Christmas to all!
Baby Jesus on the stairs, indeed!

OMGGGG ILLUMINATI IS A TRAP SONG NOW OMGGGGGG
THE EDITOR OF SPIN CONFIRMED THAT KANYE'S G.O.O.D. MUSIC PRODUCERS DID IT
Yeah, the new Illuminati is totally fierce! I can see why Madonna was upset that the demos leaked. As good as they sounded (and they did sound good), the polished tracks from the iTunes download are amazing. I forgive Madonna for teasing us all year!

LFL sound 1000000x better. Great choice for first single.
Devil Pray - loved the demo. Love it even more now.
Ghosttown - a total gem. Should be a single.
Unapologetic Bitch - Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah sooooo gooooood. Should be second single.
Illuminati - edgier than demo. Amazing.
Bitch I'm Madonna - hated the demo. Final version has been transformed into all-over-the-place brilliance. Love the addition of Nicki.
MERRY CHRISTMAS MADONNA!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
You pretty much got it in a nutshell!
-
I hope the whole booklet is in black and white, too.

Madonna is certainly delivering on killer ballads. I've missed her natural and unadorned voice. A very welcome return. I've found a Russian tumblr account that is streaming all the pre-order tracks. Aussie iTunes you suck!
-
And it's the early evening here. GET YO SHIT TOGETHER AUS ITUNES.
You would think we would be one of the first...
-
Thanks' a bit more grunt in the final mix.
-
Only in the US. Fuck fuck fuck
Yeah, NOT on Australian iTunes goddamn! Don't they know us Aussies are the world's worst when it comes to downloading illegally.
-
I actually love that idea.
Thanks!

I think the title needs to be one that is inclusive (in that it relates to others besides Madonna). The simple solution is to title the album 'Rebel Hearts' (in the plural). Much like 'Bedtime Stories' was for the track 'Bedtime Story'. Whatcha think?
REBEL HEART album pre-order on iTunes NOW! You get 6 songs now!

Thanks for that link. True, this album is not 'full of rage', but 'full of hope'. Just maybe, Rebel Heart is the new Erotica.
