Madonna confesses nerves over new album

Madonna has confessed that she still feels nervous when releasing new material.

The ‘Hung Up’ star, who releases her 12th studio album, 'MDNA,' on Monday, told The Sun that despite her hugely successful 30-year career, she still worries about the public’s reaction to her music.

"I don't think presenting any of my work is less nerve-racking than it ever was because I put my heart and soul into something.

"Whether it's on a film or my record, it's something to work on in privacy and create in a kind of bubble and then put it out in the world. You never know how people are going to receive it, whether it's going to move them or inspire them. The world is so full of entertainment now, isn't it? So there are a lot of nerves."

The 53-year-old, who this week unveiled the video for new single, ‘Girls Gone Wild,’ also revealed how happy she was to be back on the pop scene:  

"It's amazing to be back in music. I like the intimacy of a recording studio and song-writing. I'm using a different part of my brain when I work on music versus when I'm directing a film.

"There are a billion more people on a film and I don't have that visceral outlet of being able to sing, scream... jump around. It's very different. I love doing both but it was nice to have the simplicity of song-writing after three years of writing a script and directing and editing and talking about my film, to sit down and play my guitar and sing a song. I almost cried."
