Madonna wanted to title her album as Black Madonna

London (ANI): Singer 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.
