London, October 16 (ANI): Madonna has revealed that she initially had a different title and cover image in mind for her album ‘Hard Candy,’ but she thought it was a little too provocative.
The Queen of Pop had actually thought of calling the project ‘Black Madonna.’
In fact, she had posed in blackface make-up with white eyes for photographer Steven Klein’s cover art.
“I painted my face black, except for red lips and white eyes. It was a play on words. Have you ever heard of the Black Madonna?” the Daily express quoted her as telling Rolling Stone magazine.
“It has layers of meaning, and, for a minute, I thought it would be a fun title… Then I thought, ‘25 per cent of the world might get this, probably less, it’s not worth it,’” she added. (ANI)
