Speaking of her new album, Madonna said: “I named this record ‘Finally Enough Love’ because at the end of the day, love is what makes the world go round.”
She told Harper’s Bazaar: “It also is representative of one of my biggest loves in life, which is dance. I love to dance, and I love to inspire people to dance, so with 50 number one dance hits, that is a lot of love to share.”
While talking about Madonna, the pop star recently also hit the headlines after answering some personal and professional questions candidly. She didn’t hold back when she revealed that her current obsession is s*x and that she regrets getting married “both times.”
