think the 6 she has released with the pre order are a mixed bag, but im guessing she has released those for now as most of them (minus Ghost Town) were in the leaks. It sounds like the album was supposed to be 13 tracks, the 6 released now are taking it up to 19 (the rest of the album wont be heard until March)
Living For Love i think is a really great 90s house throwback, it sounds fresh and fun and she seems to be having fun, the vocal is very good (though i preferred the vocal on the demo as he voice was more stripped back), looks like this is the first single
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbeTpLVlyZQ&list=PLmFHLbSR-Qi4vjJb4KA_1TzgGG4oCKWMO&index=1 Devil Pray has changed a bit since the demo but i still think its brilliant, i can see the American Life comparison i guess (and i aint the biggest fan of that album) but to me this is a stand out. Love the vibe of this song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0MkjJGyF7g&list=PLmFHLbSR-Qi4vjJb4KA_1TzgGG4oCKWMO&index=2 Ghosttown -i really like this, gorgeous song, not as strong as say Heartbreak City or Joan of Arc (still hoping they have made it on to the album) but it has something pretty stunning about it,. Fans seem to be loving this one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCnkUV37NP4&index=3&list=PLmFHLbSR-Qi4vjJb4KA_1TzgGG4oCKWMO Unapologetic Bitch is pretty close to the demo , very reggae/dancehall sounding, did not like this on the demo but i have to say its growing on me. I have to disagree about her not sounding convincing with this type of music (as someone mentioned in another thread), i was kinda shocked she sounded as comfortable as she did, it blends nicely. It's also really catchy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTkTIeStmmI&list=PLmFHLbSR-Qi4vjJb4KA_1TzgGG4oCKWMO&index=4 Bitch I'm Madonna - hated the demo, still hate it, feels like she is trying way too hard on this one to be young and hip, a shame as so many of the demo's were better than this but i had a feeling it would end up on the album, oh well, always a couple on each of her albums i aint a fan of, a lot of the younger fans on forums are picking this a stand out though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ7fpjfTkh4&list=PLmFHLbSR-Qi4vjJb4KA_1TzgGG4oCKWMO&index=6 Illuminati - Some are saying they preferred the demo, it was much more of a dance song, i kinda found it generic. I prefer this version to be honest, feels a bit darker, i wrote on the other thread it wasn't a stand out, more im listening though, i think it is. Something about it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_plHXthYPU&list=PLmFHLbSR-Qi4vjJb4KA_1TzgGG4oCKWMO&index=5 I think she has made a smart choice by releasing final versions of the leaked songs now, but i just wanna hear the rest of the damn album. I am hoping its more Devil Pray, Living for Love and Ghost Town than Bitch im Madonna, im sure it will be, if it is, im excited, very excited. Fans seem to be respoding pretty well and saying its an improvement over MDNA (An album i still really like minus a couple of tracks)
Couple of other things
Oh and she is touring next year, Living for Love is not available as a download like the others here in the UK, they are releasing it separate tomorrow as a single. With MDNA when she gave GMAYL away when you pre ordered the album the song was not allowed to chart so missed the top 40.
The only other confirmed song on the album is Joan or Arc, they aint released the titles of the other songs
You can see the album artwork here and its pretty stunnig
