Rebel Heart (Deluxe)

A fine piece of art since her 2005 Confessions on a Dance Floor, The album has 14 brand new songs. Rebel Heart comes as a much awaited record after a lukewarm performance of her previous two records. Many of the songs are clear standouts- from the triumphant "Living for Love" with a cape-studded performance at the Grammys 2015 and the BRIT awards, it takes you back to the old Madonna signatures of a choir performance, only more 2015; to the massive post-apocalyptic "Ghosttown". 'Devil Pray' give a country inspired beat and 'Unapologetic Bitch' takes you through a dub revalation. 'Illuminati', co-produced by Kanye West is frenetically bouncy. 'Ghosttown' was recently released as a single and in my opinion, it is her best material since the Ray of Light video. The record as a whole is very satisfying and has a lot of energentic electro-dance tracks, lush ballads, and some sing-alongs reminiscent of "gimme all your luvin'". She is much less concerned about reaching out to any audience here and hence sounds very confident and relaxed. The album is a bold reaffirmation of her Madjesty's supremacy in a genre she created and literally sculpted to fine perfection. Check out "Body Shop" with it's host of sexual innuendo and the trap 'Iconic'. Holy Water should be taken with a pill of caution. It even has a sampler from her previous "Vogue" My personal favorites on the album are 'Hold Tight' which soars to optimistic ( and somewhat corny ) lyrics about love. It is definitely the midtempo songs that steal all the album's glitter. For a woman who exudes strength and endurance, it is surprising to hear her being incredibly vulnerable and revealing in her weaknesses. Joan of Arc is reminiscent of "Crazy for You". It is the most sentimental track and has a potential for a single. "Wash all over me" was initially supposed to have a superb beat infused by Avicii but the album version is good too. Surprisingly, the album misses out on the title track "Rebel Heart" , which is included in the deluxe and super deluxed editions and I really don't know what to do of this. The Deluxe/Super Deluxe Versions have additional tracks and you would want to check out "Beautiful Scars', 'Borrowed Time' and 'Veni Vidi Vici' amongst other beauties. The album is already welcome by curious casual listeners, and regardless of how it is going to perform, I love it. It would be biased from my side because I have been a Madonna fan since I was a kiddo. Complementing the album is a fab cover which reminds me of Marilyn Monroe. Check out the Deluxe Version too. It has even more surprises. The genius of Madonna is that she never ceases to surprise and amaze. She has always had and impeccable charisma to be experimental in her work, unpredictable (Coachella, anyone?) ,challenging, fearless, and still be on top. She is a legend in her own way and a leader of contemporary and recent pop artists. And when she wears her heart out on her sleeve, as she has done in this one, the result is unmatched to anything yet. And don't be hesitant to spend those greens on this piece of art.

Most of the songs of this album are excellent

great songs! Madonna at her best since Confessions....each and every song is different and a masterpiece in itself.

Very different, fantastic, but the product details is not correct.Only 14 songs(standard version), title track not included-IG

These sellers' CDs often come with very small scratches on the inner portion which doesn't effects it's effectiveness and function. So take note. But the quality is amazing 🤩 But otherwise this album is a must have for madonna fans. The standard version too.

One of the best album of her career and the best album of 2015

Rebel Heart is good but not the best of Madonna.

total waste not like the classic madonna album except one song.
