Madonna’s ‘Rebel Heart’ leaked, she blames hackers!

Material Girl demo version tracks hacked and leaked!

Last Friday, Material Girl, ย Madonna unexpectedly released of six songs on iTunes from her upcoming album โ€œRebel Heartโ€ because somebody released the demo versions of some of the tracks. ย The original plans for release of โ€œRebel Heartโ€ were for Spring 2015 but the apparent hack has thrown a spanner into Madonnaโ€™s plans.

The Material Girl took to photo sharing site, Instagram to vent her anger against the thieves/hackers.

Madonna's 'Rebel Heart' leaked, she blames hackers!

Madonna’s message on Instagram shows the kind of anger she has for the demo version leakers,

This is artistic rape!! These are early leaked demoโ€™s half of which wont even make it on my album the other half have changed and evolved. This is a form of terrorism. Wtf!!!! Why do people want to destroy the artistic process??? Why steal? Why not give me the opportunity to finish and give you my very best?

How did Madonnaโ€™s unreleased demo recordings leak out?

In most of the cases like this, the leaks are a inside job but after the massive hack attack on Sony, Madonna suspects a hack attack. ย Madonna gave an interview to ย Guardian on Sunday just two days after the preponed release of the tracks. In the interview Madonna says, “she was โ€œliving in a state of terrorโ€ following the leak, adding that there was โ€œa big possibilityโ€ they were the result of her personal computer being hacked.”

She added,ย โ€œObviously there is a person, or a group of people behind this that were essentially terrorising me. I donโ€™t want to sound alarming, but certainly thatโ€™s how I felt. Itโ€™s one thing if someone comes into your house and steals a painting off your wall: thatโ€™s also a violation, but, your work, as an artist, thatโ€™s devastating.”

Madonna ย has reasons to believe it was work of hackers because in addition to the demo versions, certain photographs taken for the promo of the album were also leaked. Madonna said that the some of the tracks were records many months ago.

โ€œIt wasnโ€™t just music. Images were coming out that Iโ€™d never seen before. It was then I started to think ok, whatโ€™s happening? What is the source of the leak? Itโ€™s not just one person, or someone sitting next to me in an office, or someone in a recording studio. Iโ€™ve had leaks before, a couple of weeks before an album was released, a lot of other artists have too, we all have to deal with that. But to have songs in the earliest demo form, from last March, thatโ€™s extremely disturbing to me.โ€

โ€œObviously there is a person, or a group of people behind this that were essentially terrorising me. I donโ€™t want to sound alarming, but certainly thatโ€™s how I felt. Itโ€™s one thing if someone comes into your house and steals a painting off your wall: thatโ€™s also a violation, but, your work, as an artist, thatโ€™s devastating.โ€

โ€œIโ€™m an artistic person, Iโ€™m very expressive. Iโ€™m sorry if words alarm people, but thatโ€™s what it felt like. It was not a consensual agreement. I did not say โ€˜hey, hereโ€™s my music, and itโ€™s finished.โ€™ It was theft.โ€

In the meantime her manager, Guy Oseary sought to take help of her fans via Twitter to find the culprits.

Hope Madonna and her manager find the culprits real soon as the leaks and further preponement of albums may cause huge financial loss to her. The ‘Rebel Heart’ however seems to be doing pretty well.
