Is Madonna's New Album Called "Rebel Heart"?

Madonna in 1998

Believe it or not, Madonna, who recently celebrated the 25th birthday of one of her best albums, "Like A Prayer", isn't all about Instagram, "Hard Candy" fitness centres and #secretprojects these days. She has been working on a new album and has been hashtagging the words "Rebel Heart" a lot. She also shared this photograph on her official Facebook page, with a caption that sounds like a song:

"Day turns into night. I wont give up the fight. Don't want to get to the end of my days..........saying I Wasn't amazed! #revolutionoflove" - Madonna

Last month it was announced that she had been working with Swedish DJ Avicii (you can't fault Madonna for not trying to assault them charts) and that the new material sounded like dance music mixed with folk music. Dance folk music.

Definitely Avicii, then.

According to some reliable sources, the lead single off the new album will be released in August or September, followed by a promotional tour in October. No album release date set as of yet.

Madonna's album "MDNA", which was released in 2012, failed to set the charts alight, but the MDNA Tour was a huge success.

Last week she revealed that she is to direct her third feature film: "Adé: A Love Story", an adaptation of a Rebecca Walker novel. Madonna has never received critical acclaim for her forays into the World of film, apart from when she appeared in 1996's "Evita", which won her a Golden Globe for "Best Actress In A Comedy Or Musical".

Britney's Cover of Madonna's "Burning Up" Leaks

Remember when Madonna and Britney Spears kissed? Christina Aguilera was there too but MTV was too busy showing Justin Timberlake's reaction, so the World didn't really notice.

The kiss

Well, Britney and Madonna have collaborated a few times.

In 2003, Britney's "Me Against The Music", the lead single off her third album, "In The Zone", featured Madge herself. In 2008, Britney joined Madonna on stage during one of the dates of the "Sticky & Sweet" Tour.

Looks like Britney's obsession with Madonna continued as she recorded a cover of the 80s classic "Burning Up", and performed it during her "Femme Fatale" Tour. Previous fanmade versions surfaced but the real thing has only just hit the Internet.
