HARD CANDY' DELICIOUS NEW MADONNA ALBUM SCHEDULED TO BE RELEASED ON WARNER BROS. RECORDS APRIL 29th

28 February 2008, Burbank, California

Madonna's 11th studio album for Warner Bros. Records "Hard Candy" is scheduled to have a global release on April 28th and a US release on April 29th, it was confirmed by her label.

"Hard Candy" - the follow up to Madonna's "Confessions On A Dance Floor" which debuted at No. 1 in 30 countries and sold over 8 million copies - has been described as a brilliant up-tempo collection of 12 songs in which Madonna remains ensconced in club mode but this time adds an urban hip hop beat in collaboration with musical partners Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams of The Neptunes and Nate "Danja" Hills.

The debut single, the pulsating "4 Minutes" will be released at the end of March.

"The title is a juxtaposition of tough and sweetness... kind of like I'm gonna kick your ass but it's going to make you feel good. And of course, I love candy" laughed the material girl.

Madonna, a multi-Grammy-award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, cultural icon, world renowned stage performer, video visionary, children's book author, director and documentary film maker has sold 200 million albums in the course of her unprecedented two decade plus career and is slated to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 10th.

WarnerBros. declairs that "the track aired on the FG DJ radio is a sort of remix, isn't the final version, but with it you can have an idea of the final version"

The single will be distributed to the radios only at 25/3

Madonna's "Hard Candy" CD is already listed on Amazon. It was ranking at #171 in pre-sales, but now it's down to #210 in Music. Why don't they have the tracklisting on there already, since that was also part of the press release? But anyway, I hope Madonna's new album sounds nothing like "4 Minutes". Remix or not, that new leaked track sounds 2 me like a hot mess LOL!

I think she has finally abandoned that 'I-can-only-tour-in-the-summertime-when-my-kids-are-out-of school' mentality.It looks like this tour will begin in the late winter of 2008,and continue into 2009.

"4 Minutes"
written by Madonna,Justin Timberlake,T.Mosley and Nate "Danja" Hills

(Timbaland)
I'm outta time and all I got is 4 minutes
(repeat several times)
Break down

(Madonna)
Come on boy
I've been waiting for somebody
to pick up my stroll

(Justin)
Well don't waste time
give me a sign
tell me how you wanna roll

(Madonna)
I want somebody to speed it up for me
then take it down slow
there's enough room for both

(Justin)
Well,I can handle that
you just gotta show me where it's at
are you ready to go
(are you ready to go)

(Madonna and Justin)
If you want it
You already got it
If you thought it
it better be what you want
If you feel it
it must be real just
say the word and imma give you what you want

(chorus-Madonna and Justin)
Time is waiting
We only got four minutes to save the world
No hesitating
Grab a boy,grab a girl
Time is waiting
We only got four minutes to save the world
No hesitating
We only got four minutes,four minutes

(Madonna and Justin)
Keep it up
Madonna
You gotta get in line,hop
Tick tock,tick tock,tick tock
That's right,keep it up
keep it up,don't...
Madonna,uh
You gotta get in line,hop
tick tock,tick tock,tick tock

(Madonna)
Sometimes I think what I need is a human intervention,yeah

(Justin)
And you know I can tell that you like it
and that it's good,by the way that you move,yeah

(Madonna)
The road to hell is paved with good intentions,yeah

(Justin)
But if I die tonight
At least I can say I did what I wanted to do
tell me,how bout you?

(Madonna and Justin)
If you want it
you already got it
if you thought it
it better be what you want
If you feel it
it must be real just
say the word and imma give you what you want

(chorus-Madonna and Justin)
Time is waiting
we only got four minutes to save the world
No hesitating
grab a boy,grab a girl
Time is waiting
we only got four minutes to save the world
no hesitating
we only got four minutes,four minutes

(Madonna and Justin)
Keep it up
Madonna
you gotta get in line,hop
tick tock,tick tock,tick tock
That's right,keep it up
keep it up,don't...
Madonna,uh
You gotta get in line,hop
tick tock,tick tock,tick tock

(Timbaland)
Breakdown

Finally,it's confirmed

Looks like the tour is definitely gonna happen.Australian fans should be thrilled:

So I wonder when she'll be down under? I have a vacation there planned from mid May to mid June!

CandaceS said:

I don't think the tour will begin until much later in the year...probably in the late fall.They're saying it will be 2008/2009,so I assume that means late in the year,and more shows in the new year.

Warners are releasing a Greatest Hits (or box set) in the fall,so maybe the tour will mainly focus on that.

well i'll be here in Oz til next year...so she betta come!!!

SoulAlive said:[quote]"Candy Store" reminds me of Erotica-era Madonna.It sounds like something she would have done in 1992.The lyrics are fun and playful,and slightly erotic It's a typical Pharrell groove,but like you say,it's identifiably her.No matter who she works with,she always puts her own "stamp" on the song.[quote]


Are you jokin'?
How can this song remind you of the Erotica era, and say that the lyrics are fun and playful like back in 92?
Erotica's Madonna's most dark and deep album...

Yes,Erotica was dark and deep,but there were alot of fun lyrics on the record too ("Where Life Begins",for example).

did you get to see her the last time she was there (1993 Girlie Show)?

SoulAlive said:

Even with Justin to help her out Madonna's lyrics still reek (and this is not even her worst). Face it, the woman is a joke. And Justin ripping off Prince's "If I die tonight" idea from 1999 in such a clumsy way. And Madonna singing "Imma give you what you want" You ain't from the hood, bitch. Leave the wanna-be-black ghetto slang to Fergie.

Having read this lyrical atrocity, I can conclude these two are perfectly suited since they are both equally hopeless. Madonna must be wishing she were a few years younger so she could consumate this unholy union.

well,you can always wait for the Cyndi Lauper dance album

4 miniutes is 4 minutes I'll never get back. It's boring. I actually prefer Candy Shop and that ain't so hot either.
[Edited 3/3/08 7:02am]

I love the song. It's very danceable and catchy.
However, I don't like the lyrics. They make no sense and are just cliches.
I know Madonna isn't known for her great lyrics, but she usually hs something to say that's better than that.

Iggy & The Stooges to Perform for Madonna at Rock Hall Ceremony

3/3/08, 2:46 pm EST

According to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Iggy & The Stooges will perform for Madonna at this year’s induction ceremony. The choice of the Stooges may raise some eyebrows, but isn’t as strange as it seems: both the band and Madonna are Detroit natives, and Iggy Pop opened for Madonna at the Dublin date for her Reinvention Tour in 2004.

Other performers scheduled at the induction ceremony, which takes place next Monday, March 10th, at New York’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel: Damien Rice (for Leonard Cohen); James Cotton (for Little Walter); Patti LaBelle (for Gamble & Huff); plus John Mellencamp and the Ventures, both of whom are being inducted.

WOW, Madonna's been busy lately. She's made 2 films: "I Am Because We Are" and "Filth & Wisdom". She's got a new CD coming out called "Hard Candy". She's done 2 interviews & 2 press conferences. And she shot a video with JT & Timbaland for "4 Minutes" in January.
