Rebel Heart is the thirteenth studio album by Madonna. It was released on March 6, 2015, by Interscope Records. Following the completion of the MDNA era, Madonna worked on the album throughout 2014, co-writing and co-producing it with various musicians, including Diplo, Avicii, and Kanye West. She teased by uploading pictures of her recording sessions on her Instagram account. Working with a number of collaborators posed problem for Madonna in keeping a cohesive sound and direction for Rebel Heart, unlike her previous efforts where only a few people were involved.
Madonna's 13th studio album Rebel Heart was released on March 6, 2015.
On December 20, 2014 the first 6 tracks were made available on iTunes with
a pre-order of the full album. The pre-order came days after 13 demo
tracks were leaked on the Internet. In an official statement,
Madonna commented:
"I was hoping to release my new single Living For Love on Valentine's Day with the
rest of the album coming in the Spring. I would prefer my fans to hear completed
versions of some of the songs instead of the incomplete tracks that are circulating.
Please consider these six songs as an early Christmas gift," commented Madonna on
the December release.
