  1. I'd be surprised if she doesn't tour right after the album release tbh, and all of you have got a point. Please let's keep the final tracklist as a secret at least til the Grammys performance!!

    She's spent close to a year on the album, she's not just going to throw it out there like last time. People now expect her to tour after every release, so the anticipation just isn't there. Look at the past two tours and the sales...
  2. The second single needs to be a club hit and I believe wash all over me will be chosen and as third may be devil pray or ghost town. I read guy o said that will be 19 songs totally.I can't imagine that she will not be touring this year.

    Why not? She's been touring after each album release since American Life. Guy is on the road with U2 this year, and a lot of her behind the scenes touring team are working on Kylie's tour. Let her focus on the music.
  3. Well. It will be nice if she does a few more performances after Grammys but I'm not holding my breath... I actually don't expect anything, I'll just be pleasantly surprised if anything does happen lol.

    There will be a lot. Already talks of something being streamed online. She has no plans to tour this year, so steady promotion. Second single will be stronger than LFL.
  4. Can Madonna turns song hack to her advantage?http://www.postbulletin.com/entertainment/can-madonna-turns-song-hack-to-her-advantage/article_20d42a0f-7fcd-541f-a741-19d0a778f30c.htmlThe year-end surprise album release is becoming a holiday tradition. First, Beyonce, then D'Angelo: Each of them released recordings that came out of nowhere to capture the pop imagination just in time for the New Year.But what happens when an album release is a surprise even to the artist?That's the bind Madonna is in right now. Last week, 13 of her demos in various stages of completion were stolen and leaked to file-sharing services. The singer told the Guardian that there was a "big possibility" that her home computer had been hacked, and the singer (perhaps overheatedly) called the leak "artistic rape" and "a form of terrorism."Her tactical response, though, was unexpected. She put an EP's worth of tracks from the album, called "Rebel Heart," up for sale immediately on iTunes. It was just enough new music to count as a last-minute winter release (she quickly topped iTunes charts in more than 40 countries). But it wasn't quite enough new music to land with the force and urgency of "Beyonce" or "Black Messiah." More pieces from the album are expected to land on Feb. 9 to preview the March 10 release on Interscope.So what is this six-song partial record intended to be? An album teaser? A middle finger to the hackers? A sign the LP might not be quite finished? Or just something, anything, Madge can do to take back the narrative around "Rebel Heart"?It's hard to tell if this panic-button release timeline is part of a coherent strategy. Madonna said that she had planned a traditional Valentine's Day single release for "Living for Love," but it's now on the EP, which she called an "early Christmas gift." Perhaps ironically, the sped-up timeline might keep fans coming back.Serially releasing pieces of a completed artwork can be a successful strategy (see the runaway podcast hit "Serial"). But it's a new twist on the new models we have for putting out LPs. Taylor Swift can take a months-long drip-drop of singles, videos and fun stunts to tease "1989"; Beyonce can just throw it all up on iTunes in the dead of night; D'Angelo can rush it to the presses to respond in real time to salient political issues.However, there's not quite the same ravenous demand for a new Madonna album in 2014 (her last one, 2012's "MDNA" was given middling reviews for its late-to-the-game rave sounds and images, and her Super Bowl halftime show was overshadowed by M.I.A.'s possibly obscene hand gestures). But by breaking "Rebel Heart" into smaller pieces, she's actually hewing closer to the release strategies of her beloved EDM acts. Skrillex became an arena-sized superstar by releasing just a spate of EPs (before this year's full album, "Recess"). Underground dance labels usually pack around two to four tracks per 12-inch release.And these six tracks really are a fresh new look for Madonna. Yes, she's a couple of years behind the trap/noise party sounds she's mining on songs like "Illuminati" and "Bitch I'm Madonna." But even this album snippet features production from Kanye West and Diplo and a guest turn from Nicki Minaj. This is shaping up to be a brash, angry and self-affirming LP — one that might be less dismissable because of its stutter-step release.A full Madonna LP could have come and gone in a few weeks, to no more notice than the usual flicker of the Internet's content-churn. But the scramble to get something legitimate up from "Rebel Heart" has had a strangely punkish, humanizing effect on Madonna — and right when such an approach is on-brand with her record.If necessity is the mother of invention, then maybe Madge just invented a new way to keep fans on edge.

    Great read!!
  5. Maybe you are right...maybe not ???I think there are much more than we can imagine. she did tons of Songs and Soundsthis time.She defintly have a Plan B this time..i swear

    She typically records 20+ for each session, most times the leftovers carry over into new projects.The earlier, stripped down demos were reworked with other producers. 45 known track titles, plus I'm sure a few that have been kept tightly under wraps.
  6. yeah some Songs have 5 and more Demos on it....some don't!?And i believe there are still Songs and Final Master the Collectors do not have :kissy:When you look at the Producers List i think there must be over 100 Demos :hearteyes:Iconic alone have more than 5 Demos i read, so i'm real excited how that Songhave changed :tongue:

    There are only two for Iconic that I'm aware of. Messiah, Addicted, Living For Love, Hold Tight, Borrowed Time, Rebel Heart all have 5+ demos. Songs such as Freedom, Revolution, Two Steps Behind, only have one demo.
  7. Didn't these sites also reveal info for a number of other songs? like Autotune Baby? that one didn't leak,Afaik these songs were very widespread before they leaked. Looks like someone who had them sent them to the wrong "friend" and it only takes one moron....

    Correct! Whoever leaked these either has more, or were only given certain ones. Those 13 demos that leaked range from the very first recordings (Revolution, Unapologetic Bitch), to other songs like Borrowed Time, which is actually the 5th demo of that track. So either someone was careless or greedy, or they have more.
  8. I keep having a little faith that will be a double album, or something like that. They have so many demos, so many songs... its impossible to believe for me, after all announced producers and collaborators the album will contain just 14 or 18 songs.

    I think they have the mentality of Music - every track to be golden, possible singles. As far as I knew her vocals were done being recorded last month. I'm wondering if Mike Dean is acting as executive producer and just wrapping things up.
