Madonna arrives at the opening of Toronto's Hard Candy Fitness on Feb. 11, 2014.

The Queen of Pop has responded to the premature release of early mixes of some of her new songs -- "work in progress demos," as a release put it -- this week.

Madonna is releasing six songs off 13th album Rebel Heart, set for release March 10,for purchase via preorder at iTunes and other music outlets with purchase of the album and a la carte as well. The music will also be available on all streaming services. Additional music will be released on Feb. 9th. The full album of Rebel Heart on Interscope Records is scheduled to be released the first week in March 2015.

The diva tweeted out the announcement early Saturday morning, along with album cover art:

"I was hoping to release my new single Living for Love on Valentine's Day with the rest of the album coming in the spring," Madonna said in a statement. "I would prefer my fans to hear completed versions of some of the songs instead of the incomplete tracks that are circulating. Please consider these six songs as an early Christmas gift."

Producers on the new songs include Kanye West, Diplo, Blood Diamonds, DJ Dahi, Billboard, and Madonna. Nicki Minaj is also featured on track B**** I'm Madonna.

The album has 19 tracks listed on iTunes, most of which are still untitled, save for one called Joan of Arc that is not yet available. More music will be released Feb. 9 before the full album arrives March 10.

The tracklist so far:

1. Living for Love

2. Devil Pray

3. Ghosttown

4. Unapologetic B****

5. Illuminati

6. B**** I'm Madonna (feat. Nicki Minaj)
