Madonna says 'MDNA' is "unapologetically happy"

Madonna hopes to get her fans up on their feet with 'MDNA'.

"I wanted to make an album that was unapo­lo­get­ic­ally happy," explained the 'Bye Bye Baby' chanteuse in an interview with intorontomag.com.

"I think we all need to dance a bit more these days. The world needs a breather."

She went on to credit 'MDNA' col­lab­or­at­ors Martin Solveig and William Orbit for bringing the LOL to her new album. "Martin knows how to put a smile on people's faces," she says.

'MDNA', which Madonna describes as "a good hybrid of the intro­spect­ive and fun", is set for release on March 26.
