Madonna announces new album

After months of hinting that new music was on the way, singer Madonna has finally revealed the name of an upcoming project. She has given her fans a sense of what her new tunes may sound like via some tantalising social media posts, reports a website. The singer uploaded a video to both Instagram and Twitter on April 14, in which she shared that she has decided to name her new album Madame X, though she doesn’t state when it may arrive. The name seems to refer to a character, or perhaps an alter ego that Madonna has created, who she describes as “a secret agent / travelling around the world / changing identities / fighting for freedom / bringing light to dark places”. Madonna then shares a list of descriptions that seem to fit this Madame X character, including calling her “a cha cha instructor, a professor, a head of state, a housekeeper, an equestrian, a prisoner, a student, a teacher, a nun, a cabaret singer, a saint and a prostitute”.
