"Material Girl" Madonna is facing another devastating blow when 14 tracks of her upcoming album "Rebel Heart" were released online by hackers. This comes in wake of the 13 tracks, which were released a week ago.
In response to the earlier leak, Madonna was furious and had to do damage control by releasing six finished tracks just prior to Christmas. It ought to be mentioned here that the expected launch date of the album was supposed to be March 2015.
However, the recent leak attack forced the songstress to release the finished versions way ahead of schedule as a sort of 'Christmas Present' for her fans. But the latest attack came as a total surprise to the singer. Madonna is unhappy at the leak and appealed to her fans to respect her creativity as a performer and not listen to the unfinished tracks that the hackers have released online. She also said that this form of attack on any creative performer was akin to 'artistic rape'.
The tracks, which have been released include a collaboration with Pharrell titled "Back That Up (Do It)" among numerous others like "Best Night", "Tragic Girl", "Hold Tight" and "Freedom".
On the album "Rebel Heart," Madonna had collaborated with Nicki Minaj, Kanye West and Pharrell and she was super-excited about her new offering, which was supposed to hit the shelves on Mar 10, 2015. However all plans have gone down the drain with the hacking attack. She has appealed to her fans and the public to not to listen to the unfinished tracks and wait for the complete album version instead.
