"""We at Madonnarama can confirm that what the Sun article says is true.The song "Unapologetic Bitch" really exists.....

We can also add that the reggae-influenced track has a strong statement about Madonna taking responsibility for being considered a bitch because sometimes you have to call it like it is.

Last week we stated how Madonna suffered from the breakup of her three year relationship with Brahim Zaibat, and the lyrics to "Unapologetic Bitch" reinforce this: It almost killed me but Im better off alone.

Even though Madonna had a tough time, she starts the song off saying shes waking up.... happy to know hes gone and that shes "ready to move on with her life".

Madonna also give the impression that Zaibat expressed some regrets about leaving as the chorus goes You know you never really knew how much you loved me til you lost me, did you?

All we can say about this song is that it should definitely be considered as the first single off Madonnas forthcoming album."

Details on another new song called "Joan Of Ark"

After revealing Wash All Over Me, we at DrownedMadonna.com are very excited to disclose the title and details of another song that Madonna recorded for her upcoming album. It’s called "Joan of Arc". Take your handkerchief and get ready to cry. This one is for us… her fans!

Joan of Arc is really heartwarming. It is a gorgeous ballad on the guitair in whichMadonna shows her fragility.

Actually, it is the most vulnerable Madonna has ever been. She asks fans for strength.

In Joan of Arc, Madonna‘s vocals are as fabulous as they are in You Must Love Me from Evita.

The track talks about how the world expects her to be a hero. Madonna talks about the press, how bad words put her down… and this breaks her heart.

Madonna needs to be conformed, because she’s “not Joan of Arc.” She calls her fans her soldiers “on which I can depend on.”

more details on the new song "Inside Out"

We know that you are hungry for new Madonna ballads. That’s why we at DrownedMadonna.com are glad to disclose another track recorded by Madonna for her upcoming album. It’s called Love You From Inside Out, or just Inside Out.

Inside Out is an amazing electronic ballad with acoustic breaks. It is a slow dub step, to be more accurate. And the chorus is in a guitar.

In Inside Out, Madonna is like trying to soften a tough guy and asking him to love her. Madonna is actually asking a man to let her love him from inside out.

And you…. would you show your dark corners to Madonna? Would you let her love you from inside out?

Show me your scars and the dark corners of your MINDarrow-10x10.png. Show me yours, and I’ll show you mine.

There is not a final setlist yet, but Inside Out deserves to be included on Madonna upcoming album!

Now you can understand why on April 21 Mert Alas – of the collaborative team Mert and Marcus – posted (and then removed) on Instagram a pic of Madonna with the caption: “Let me love you from inside out Madonna.” Also Madonna posted something related to this track a few months ago: “Today I decided to sing in my underwear! No one seemed to MINDarrow-10x10.png! #loveyoufromtheinsideout.

Madonna calls Gaga a messed-up copycat in leaked song lyrics

IANS


Pop star Madonna has reportedly called Lady Gaga a “copycat” in the lyrics of her leaked track Two Steps Behind Me.

The 56-year-old wrote the song about the Pokerface hitmaker in which she describes her as a “copycat” and compares her to a “messed-up sister,” reports mirror.co.uk.

Madonna sings: “You’re a copycat, Where is my royalty? You’re a pretty girl, I’ll give you that. But stealing my recipe, it’s an ugly look. Did you study me hard enough? You’re never gonna be, you’re just a wannabe me. Like a sister all messed-up, who’s gonna help you out? In your fantasy, you can try it all. But you can’t be me. You can walk the walk, even talk the talk. But you’ll always be two steps behind me.”

A source working closely with the Gaga on her upcoming 13th album thinks the 28-year-old, who counts Madonna amongst her idols, will be “mortified” when she catches wind of the damning lyrics, although it is yet to be confirmed whether the song has made the cut.

“They’re very harsh lyrics but Madonna really wants to express herself again. Gaga’s going to be mortified,” said the source, adding: “I’m hearing Madonna may well drop the first of the tracks as soon as November, much earlier than expected. I can’t wait.”

Madonna also attacks her ex-husband Guy Ritchie in the lyrics to another track, Heartbreak City, in which she describes the memory of their relationship as “haunting” and accuses him of using her for fame.

“You tore me into pieces, you didn’t have no damn reason. I let you in my kingdom, you helped yourself with everything. I curse the day we met. This memory is haunting me. I wish I could forget,” the lyrics reads.

Madonna's controversial new single "Unapologetic Bitch"

Madonna has verbally attacked her ex-boyfriend Brahim Zaibat after leaked lyrics from her new track 'Aplogetic B***h' appear to mock the dancer's sexual prowess.

The Holiday hitmaker has already slammed her pop rival Lady Gaga and her ex-husband Guy Ritchie after song lyrics from her upcoming album were leaked last week. Former beau appears to be the latest person to be on the receiving end of some harsh words in her song, Unapologetic B***h.

According to The Sun newspaper, Madonna's new track slams the dancer's sexual prowess as well as mocking his lack of wealth, following their break up in 2013 after three years of dating.

The song contains the lyrics: "I know you'd like it if I stayed home and cried. But that ain't gonna happen, here's the reason why: When we did it, I'll admit it, I wasn't satisfied."

Another line boasted: "I'm popping bottles that you can't even afford. I'm throwing parties and you won't get in the door."

The track has a reggae-themed chorus, which Madonna ends with an expletive-filled rant against her former lover, with the line: "You know you never really know how much your bulls**t cost me, but f**k you."

It is thought that Madonna's as-yet-untitled 13th studio album will be released later this year, after a source close to the singer told the publication: "I'm hearing Madonna may well drop the first of the tracks as soon as November, much earlier than expected. I can't wait." (source: The Sun)

From the sounds of it, Madonna is really coming across as vulnerable on this new album. I think that is a good thing for her.

I like the "unapologetic bitch" theme/idea.It's the kind of album that I wanted her to make after divorcing Guy....an angry,unapologetic,"fuck you" type album lol MDNA could have been that album,but she mixed the angry songs ("Gang Bang","Love Spent") with songs like "I Fucked Up" and "Best Friend" (songs where she's expressing pain and sorry).Somehow,I don't think this new album is gonna be bitter and angry (despite the rumors).

posted on a fansite: a description of another new song "Bitch,I'm Madonna"

I am about to die..... My friend who works at Live Nation just called me to tell me he heard Bitch I'm Madonna!! I almost dropped the phone. I am still in shock. He said it is an absolute hit and different from anything on radio.

He described the sound as aggressive dancehall

He said there's no intro, just starts out music and lyrics bam. He remembers these lyrics from the chrous (which the song starts out with)

Bitch I'm Madonna
Don't call me after
Savor the moment - hot

Mmm hmmm

Bitch I'm madonna
You're falling under
Trust me to be a lot


He said the Mmm hmm was a sample from the song Motownphilly by Boyz to Men and it can be heard several time throughout the song. Every time it's spoken the music drops out.

The chorus sounds kind of Rihanna-ish according to him. But he said the best part is in the middle of the song she screams out the "bitch I'm madonna don't call me after" lines, and that in one other part she calls out "Siri tell 'em what I'm about" and Siri responds "I'm really sorry about this" in the Siri voice!

I am now DYING to hear this song. I hope he isn't fucking with me bc if this is true I am gonna lose my shit. My excitement for this just amped up to level 12!!!

Not sure if they are the same but reports are conflicting. And on the previous record she had "I Fucked Up" & "I Don't Give A" which were a bit similar too. biggrin

I just hope that the "Unapologetic Bitch" theme does not mean "Human Nature" will be on tour again, that one has been done to death and she should do something else from Bedtime Stories, even if it is just Secret again!

"Inside Out" does not seem to be promising though, not only Britney has a track with that title that could be described the same way, she was already criticized for using dubstep 2.5 years ago...

Damn it, i want her to sample 100% Pure Love by Crystal Waters! That would be hot to death.

This sounds kind of cool though.

Do you agree this album isn't anywhere near finished though? That's my gut instinct.

I'll leave it alone babe...just be me

Seems it is 2007 all over again, looks like the album is more likely to come out next Spring:

http://www.boyculture.com...-year.html

I have an industry source who is skeptical (to say the least) of the speculation that Madonna's about to drop her new album. He tells me:

“It’s not coming out this year - if there was to be a 2014 release, sales sheet and other trade information would have already started circulating, unless it was to come out just before Xmas, which is unacceptable in European markets, where she is still a strong seller. She is not finished yet, so the plan is a spring 2015 release, much likely matched with tour ticket sales opening / announcement. She has written and demoed several songs with different teams and is still recording the final dozen or so. Then there is mixing, which as usual she monitors in person. No Madonna album has ever been released without having it mastered and handed to the label 2 months prior to street date, which is the time she usually takes to focus on videos, advance promo, long lead press, photo shoots. Hence, we would by now have clear evidence of a fall release, if there was to be one. At the same time her strategy is to lead the game and she leaks info herself directly through Instagram, teasing with song titles, small clips, photos and quotes, so she can (try to) control it, but the recent info leak on song titles and detailed contents was absolutely not planned.”

Thoughts?


This blog would not post just any rumor or fake news related to Madonna, back in 2012 they were the first to post the COMPLETE setlist of the tour.

The fan site Madonnarama has a lengthy exclusive on the new album. Whether this is true or not, I can't really say.

I just feel with all these rumors and info coming out now, the album has to be coming out this year and not 6 months from now.

I just feel with all these rumors and info coming out now, the album has to be coming out this year and not 6 months from now.



40 songs is kind of scary, I start to wonder, maybe she wants to release two albums like Justin so her contract will be fulfilled? confused She has two more tours of course but maybe after 2015 she wants to step back from the grind and focus on films and other stuff?



As for the release date, I see your point but back in 2007 we had two songs leaked (and one of them was the final version of Candy Shop) and fansites posted info about songs like Miles Away or Across The Sky yet the album was only released at the end of April... It was more than a full year after the reveal of her collaborating with The Neptunes, now if it happens the same way it will be exactly a year after her instagrams with Avicii...



Also, MadonnaTribe also posted that article about the supposed Spring release date and they do have insider info but they have been hinting that she's not finished with yet (like the recent instagram pic with 'back to work')... It's not hard to see the Spring release would be similar to MDNA and then she could start the tour right away, it's the most important thing in her Live Nation deal anyway, I can see why they want to maximize impact like that...

Madonnarama can confirm that Madonna has already recorded over 40 different songs in various styles for her upcoming album and we’re going to give you an exclusive look into the recording process.

Thanks to a rather unusual Skype CHATarrow-10x10.png with a mysterious anonymous contact, we’ve been able to have a first listen to multiple tracks from various recording sessions for Madonna’s forthcoming album.

Madonna has worked with many producers and collaborators, including Avicii, Diplo, Natalia Kills, Martin Kierszenbaum, S1, Toby Gad, MoZella, MNEK and even Pharrell!


Some of the songs are incredibly good, some are forgettable, but only Madonna will have the final say on which tracks will make the cut.

The original demos with Avicii (Rebel Heart, Messiah…) have a great concept and it’s everything you can expect from a Madonna album. It’s smart, mature and rich, but it lacks the real radio hits.

Madonna’s work with Diplo (Bitch I’m Madonna, Living for love, Unapologetic Bitch…) is more trap/electro pop. Some of these tracks are a better fit for radio play, although they can sound a little immature at times.

The Toby/Mozella/S1 (Iconic, Body Shop, Joan of Ark…) collaboration has some truly great songs, in constrast to the sessions with Natalia Kills and Martin Kierszenbaum aren’t particularly interesting.

Needless to say that with nearly 50 songs, Madonna has enough material to release a double album.

A lot of the track titles have already been revealed on Instagram, but they’re hidden in what seems like random Madonna banter. Madonnarama can confirm that the following tracks (mentioned by Madonna) have been recorded during the sessions for the new album…

Autotune Baby
Bitch, I’m Madonna
Body Shop
Holy Water
Iconic
Inside Out
Joan of Ark
Living for Love/Carry On
Messiah
Rebel Heart
Unapologetic Bitch
Veni Vedi Vici
Wash all over me

Please keep in MINDarrow-10x10.png that no final tracklist has been selected for the album yet!

Here are some descriptions, which will be updated with time…

Living for Love/Carry on

“Living for love, I’m gonna carry on, love’s gonna lift me up”, goes this snappy track about the sanctity of survival, using a luminescent collection of escalating 90s influenced tempos.
Madonna recorded a few “I survived a hard breakup and am stronger for it” anthems, but “Living for Love/Carry on” is probably the most accessible and club friendly one.

She ASSURESarrow-10x10.png her audience that her past flame is in the past, and that she’s ready to move on, with a little help from God.

Madonna talks about how allowing herself to love made her strong and feel reborn, but by letting down her guard, she forgot who she was and didn’t hear the ALARMarrow-10x10.png.
Now that the love is over, she says she’s willing to forgive but will never forget.

With the help of a choir, Madonna addresses a kinda odd sounding prayer to God to help her heal fast and allow her to LOVE AGAINarrow-10x10.png.

With an undeniable, instantly catchy hook, in typical Madonna fashion, she’s telling off her ex-boyfriend, but there’s a festive flair that makes the whole break-up seem rather uplifting than dour.

Although the unfinished version of the song lacks a little originality in its production, Living for Love translates the soulful optimism of Madonna. It’s all about empowering yourself after a breakup, getting back on your feet and giving a chance to new love.

Unapologetic Bitch

Madonna’s new track slams the dancer’s sexual prowess as well as mocking his lack of wealth, following their break up in 2013 after three years of DATINGarrow-10x10.png.

The song CONTAINSarrow-10x10.png the lyrics: “I know you’d like it if I stayed home and cried. But that ain’t gonna happen, here’s the reason why: When we did it, I’ll admit it, wasn’t satisfied.”

Another line boasted: “I’m popping bottles that you can’t even afford. I’m throwing parties and you won’t get in the door.”

The track has a reggae-themed chorus, which Madonna ends with an expletive-filled rant against her former lover, with the line: “You know you never really know how much your bullshit cost me, but fuck you.

The reggae-influenced track has a strong statement about Madonna taking responsibility for being considered a bitch because sometimes you have to call it like it is.

Madonna suffered from the breakup of the three year RELATIONSHIParrow-10x10.png with Brahim Zaibat, and the lyrics “Unapologetic Bitch” reinforce this: “It almost killed me but I’m better off alone.”

Even though Madonna had a tough time, she starts the song off saying she’s waking up happy to know he’s gone and that she’s ready to move on with her life.

Madonna also give the IMPRESSIONarrow-10x10.png that Zaibat expressed some regrets about leaving as the chorus goes “You know you never really knew how much you loved me til you lost me, did you?

Heartbreak City

This track has absolutely nothing to do with Guy Ritchie but deals with Madonna’s recent break-up with Brahim Zaibat. We’ve been informed that more than one track on the album is about the ending of their three year RELATIONSHIParrow-10x10.png which left Madonna more vulnerable than most people might think.

Some lyrics:
“Cut me down the middle, fucked me up a little. You said I was your queen. I tried to give you everything. And now you want your freedom.”

“You got just what you came for, a bit of fame and fortune, and I’m no longer needed.”

“You tore me into pieces, you didn’t have no damn reason. I let you in my kingdom, you helped yourself with everything.”

“I curse the day we met. This memory is haunting me. I wish I could forget.”

Two Steps Behind

The song isn’t directed towards Lady Gaga, but to all younger artists trying to steal Madonna’s recipe. Even though Madonna had fun writing and recording this track, there’s a big possibility that it won’t be included on the album.

Some lyrics:
“You’re a copycat [...] Where is my royalty? [...] You’re a pretty girl, I’ll give you that.”

“Did you study me hard enough? [...] You’re never gonna be, you’re just a wannabe me. [...] Like a sister all messed-up, who’s gonna help you out? [...] In your fantasy, you can try it all. But you can’t be me.”

“You can walk the walk, even talk the talk. But you’ll always be two steps behind me.”

Stay tuned for more details on Madonna’s upcoming album!
