peter Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 Personally, although overall I like much of what Klein and Madonna have created together in terms of imagery, going strictly off of the album covers we got through him, I wouldn’t be all that excited. To be fair, COADF imagery was great — Bianco was the weak link in that formula. And, again, he can be excused partially for the dysfunction of HC, but ... compared to other album covers, that one wouldn’t make me request his return. Mert & Marcus on the other hand have delivered beautiful cover images — even if the themes for the rest of the shoots have been less cohesive or inspired. Still, based on the deluxe image for MDNA (the close-up shot which was most prevalent) and the deluxe edition of RH (the wires on the face), I would say M+M delivered. On the other hand, not sure I’d advise M to go back to that well, either. Seems like Mondino is underrepresented in the history. Recently, she seems to like to work with Luigi and Iango. I wouldn’t mind that. She also worked with Ellen von Unwerth again recently. She’s never had a female photographer for an album cover! (Maybe she’d have Sophie Muller direct a music video, too!)

Apples388 Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 Boring Looks like an RH booklet photo outtake
Starman Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 They are great for fashion magazines but their pics rarely tell a story, and they are minimal in the sets/backdrops
YannBouch Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 Base on the past list. I will always vote for Klein but Mondino could be a good choice. Terry Ridcharson also who gave us one of M best face of the decade.
Guest dcbyebyebaby Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 She wouldnt dare work with Terry anymore after the Me Too movement. It would literally be social suicide for her. He also has the most bland photoshoots imo. Always with a boring white background.

I so hope interesting and original things are being readied in terms of promotion, I have no doubts about the quality of the music whatsoever Also on madonna.com they asked a few weeks ago if fans were up for a "behind the scenes" documentary for the forthcoming album as they did for ROL (it was aired on MTV)...

Hell yes. I hope this happens. An album, tour, tour album and documentary would be AMAZING.
Douglaslisboa Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 Madonna posted again Hedy Lamarr quote on ig. Can we start to dream about the album cover inspired by this look?
the-queen Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 That would be awesome. Substitute her face with Madonna’s and it’d look MAGICAL.

It's pretty safe to say that this album/tour will have the same trajectory that Rebel heart was suppose to have minus the leaks. First single - March Album release - April tour - September through March I mean it’s only November, Rebel Heart didn’t leak until December, I hope it doesn’t though.

I certainly preferred it to the cover art for You Can Dance, Like a Prayer, TIC, Erotica, Bedtime Stories, Music, GHV2, Hard Candy, Hard Candy [Deluxe], Rebel Heart [Standard] and Rebel Heart [Super Deluxe]. Brainwash was reinventive, iconic and just plain cool. With that said, the single covers and the Celebration DVD covers are awful and cheap looking.

Confessit Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 September is waayyy to late for the album to drop its in the mastering stage which means it will be ready for Christmas. It will be released 1st quarter of next year. My money is on lead single Feburary, 2nd single & Album drop in April.
alen Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 Art direction/artwork for the past 20 years did by Kevin Reagan (ROL, Music), Michael Amzalag from M/M Paris (AL), Giovanni Bianco (COADF, HC, MDNA, RH ). I will love that she works with this photographs Stephane Sedenaoui, Tim Walker or Louis Sanchis Art direction by Big Active, Mat Maitland, ... yes and this guy Ryan Pfluger is a very popular photographer at the moment

I was more referring to the fact that all the demos leaked at least 2 months before December, she re-worked some of them because of the reaction of the fans, and then she was rushed to release 6 songs in December. The whole marketing plan was completely destroyed because of those leaks. This time around things will go as planned ( fingers crossed) but I'm sure the lesson was learned.
BrendanT1993 Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 It's been 4 years since the first snippet of Rebel Heart leaked. Hopefully we get no leaks this time. I want to be suprised
