Speaking on the video Madonna says: "I decided to call my record Madame X... a secret agent travelling around the world, changing identity, fighting for freedom, and bringing light to dark places.
"Madame X is a dancer, a professor, a head of state, a housekeeper, an equestrian, a prisoner, a student, a mother a child, a teacher, a nun, a sinner, a saint a whore and a spy."

The news of Madonna's new album comes hot on the heels of the announcement that the superstar will be making her performance debut at the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday, May 18 in Tel,Aviv, Israel.
It has been confirmed that the 'Like a Prayer' songstress will be singing two songs - a new track and an old hit - and is being paid $1 million to perform at the contest.
Madonna is supposedly bringing an entourage of 160 people to Eurovision and has already "butted heads" with organisers due to her new song containing "political messages".
