MADONNA - MADONNA DEFIES GRAVITY FOR NEXT ALBUM

Superstar MADONNA has already named her forthcoming new album - the disc will be called DEFYING GRAVITY.

The MATERIAL GIRL's last album AMERICAN LIFE - released in 2003 - was critically panned due to the songs' strong anti-Republican content, and only three singles were released from the CD.

But Madonna, 46, has written eight tracks so far, including a single of the album's name, and hopes she will be more successful this time.

An industry insiders tell Britain's THE SUN newspaper, "Madonna has played her new material to WARNER label bosses and they love it.

"There is a rockier edge and the usual electronic influence. The label are really excited and believe it is full of hit singles."
