The other day, we reported that Madonna was not pleased with the unauthorized leak of several unfinished tracks off, going as far as to call it an “act of terrorism” and “artistic rape.” Now, it seems the singer has taken matters into her own hands by announcing her forthcoming album, Rebel Heart, and releasing several of the tracks early.
According to a statement on her website, Madonna explained, “I was hoping to release my new single ‘Living For Love’ on Valentine’s Day with the rest of the album coming in the Spring. I would prefer my fans to hear completed versions of some of the songs instead of the incomplete tracks that are circulating. Please consider these six songs as an early Christmas gift.”
The songs now available are titled “Living For Love,” “Devil Pray,” “Ghosttown,” “Unapologetic Bitch,” “Illuminati” and “Bitch I’m Madonna,” which features Nicki Minaj. Kanye West and Diplo helped on the production end. Download them here.
More tracks will be made available on February 9th and the full album will be released in March.
