Madonna's Art for Freedom / Secretprojectrevolution / Revolution of Love deserves a thread for discussion as her new album is connected with the project. 
 
http://www.vogue.it/en/uomo-vogue/cover-story/2014/05/madonna
Her next album will be connected with Art For Freedom.
And we can expect to see her increasingly involved and committed.
“I have no choice. At this point, there’s no turning back. This is my role in the world, my work as an artist. I have a voice and I have to use itâ€.
 
- Madonna; who is not only still the greatest pop icon of our time, but also the one most committed to the fight for human rights, as demonstrated by her frequent public statements, her humanitarian work in Malawi and her recent project Secretprojectrevolution and Art For Freedom.
 
- Secretprojectrevolution is a short film co-directed with Steven Klein. It calls for a "Love revolution […] a revolution of independent thought, of having your own opinion and not giving a damn about what people say".
 
- Art For Freedom is the next stage on from the movie. It is a digital platform in association with Vice Media that hosts videos, photos, illustrations and documentation of performances addressing intolerance and persecution.
 
- Art For Freedom fights stereotypes, bigotry and discrimination, and promotes civil rights and the acceptance of diversity.

First Music Video: Borderline - I fell in love with her cos' she looks so beautiful, sexy and cool and looks like a major star.
 
First First Live Concert: Blond Ambition Tour [July 20th-22nd, 1990] - Saw her 3 nights at Wembley Stadium. Absolutely mind blowing.
 
First Intimate Promo Gig: American Life Promo at Tower Records, NYC [April 23rd, 2003] Amazing. She sounded so awesome live. The clips on YT does not do justice to her live vocal.

Me too. I so loved her performance of MUSIC! This was my first tour, so it means a lot to me.

Awww, here it is. So smart and wise beyond her years...

Madonna Album by Album [Hardcover]Caroline Sullivan (Author)
Publication Date: 11 Sep 2014
Madonna Louise Ciccone is known universally as the 'Queen of Pop', and with career record sales topping 300 million worldwide, she is acknowledged as the biggest selling female recording artist of all time. Indeed, in Billboard's 2008 100 All-time Top Artists, she was ranked second only to the Beatles. During a 30-year career she has released 12 studio albums (plus numerous more compilations, live albums, soundtracks, remixes, EPs, and box sets). With each album she has consistently reinvented her music and image, pushing the boundaries both lyrically and in the form of elaborate and often sex-charged stage shows. But she is far more than just a 'pop star'. With a career that has encompassed not just music but books, movies, fashion and humanitarian work, she has transcended the world of pop to become a global cultural icon and a role model to millions of women. Indeed, almost every successful female recording artist of the last 30 years - from Jennifer Lopez to Rihanna and, of course, Lady Gaga - cites her as a major influence.
