What do you think the bonus track will be? "Across The Sky"? If this song is as good as they say,I can't see why she removed it from the album. It's not surprising that Pharrell's songs make up most of the album.He's capable of venturing beyond hip-hop,which is probably what Madonna wanted (variety).Alot of his songs are actually more pop/dance than hip-hop,which are suitable for Madonna.The stuff he records with N.E.R.D is very experimental too.I'm thinking that Timbaland gave Madonna the hip-hop/R&B stuff,while Pharrell supplied the pop-ish,more experimental stuff. | |

I don't think it's gonna be "Across The Sky" because that one was done with Justin & Timbaland. I'd like to believe that it's going to be reused on Timbaland's next album or on Madonna's next compilation. I agree with your reasoning on Pharrell - Madonna loves that kind of minimalist, but experimental music. And I loved COADF, but I'm very glad that this album will have more variety. | |

Quality wise it's standard '00s Madonna. “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

I soooo wanted to hear "Across The Sky",based on the description  But yeah,I did hear that Timbaland was saving one of the songs for his own next album.He actually wanted Madonna to appear on his recent album 'Shock Value',but she was too busy at the time. | |

badujunkie said: MikeMatronik said: Madonna's new album (12 tracks) is going to be released April 29th, but it seems it can be on March. No official info on this. There wasn't annouced any title.
The first single will "4 Minutes to Save the World", produced by Timbaland. It's a duet with Justin Timberlake. The video was shoot in London on the last days of January. Directed by Jonas and Francois. There's new stylist working with madonna. Confirmed producers: Pharrell Danja Timbaland Justin Timberlake Keyword: Revamping the first album with a modern urban twist! Confirmed tracks (only official sources): 4 Minutes to Save the World Candy Store (demo leaked) The Beat goes on (demo leaked...new version with Kanye West rap) Miles away Give It to Me Heartbeat Even the Devil Wouldn't Recognize You Ring my bell (not a cover) La, la The first update of many: Erica Futterman - Rolling Stone Online Assistant Editor - brought to the attention of Drowned Madonna a very important news. Rolling Stone got an exclusive preview of Madonna’s new album today, along with some inside scoop from Nate “Danja” Hills on the production of the record. Madonna has managed to keep most details about her still-untitled follow-up to 2005’s Confessions on a Dance Floor (due April 29th) under wraps, but Rolling Stone got an early listen to five tracks today and some behind-the-scenes info from producer Nate “Danja” Hills. Fans who worried that Madonna might be losing inspiration as she approaches fifty need not be concerned. The new album takes a few steps away from the hyper-polished future disco of Confessions toward a more urban-oriented, thumpy funk, featuring production by Timbaland and Pharrell, as well as collaborations with Justin Timberlake. Danja says he worked on the album in London, and that Madonna indicated “she just wanted uptempo, dance, club [sounds] and everything to have a hip-hop underlining.” He adds that Madonna was easy-going and frequently in the studio putting in long hours alongside himself, Timbaland and Timberlake: “She would come in and sit in her chair in the corner and just vibe with us.” The record’s first single is “4 Minutes to Save the World,” the track Timbaland partially debuted during a Philadelphia Christmas concert in December. “4 Minutes” has a bit of a marching band aesthetic as blasting brass play a scale-like riff, a hard, clanging beat enters and Madonna sings that the “road to heaven is paved with good intentions.” Timberlake and Madonna trade verses, and he appears on the chorus, doing his best Michael Jackson impression while quickly crooning, “We’ve only got four minutes to save the world.” The track ends after a brief breakdown where everything drops out but one of Tim’s signature Bhangra beats, some stabs of brass and Madonna’s urgent tick-tock’s. It’s a loud, busy, energetic track that is apparently getting an equally adventurous video: As previously reported, the clip (which is still being completed) is directed by hot French duo Jonas & François (Justice’s “D.A.N.C.E.”). Timbaland makes an appearance, and Madonna and Timberlake play superheroes tackling physical obstacles. The clip features choreography by Jamie King, who worked on Madonna’s Confessions, Re-Invention and Drowned World tours as well as her video for Confessions‘ “Sorry.” The Pharrell-produced “Candy Store” opens with a big beat and Madonna’s invitation to “Come on in to my store, I got candy galore.” The track is pretty bare on the verses, but there’s a flash of brassy soul on the chorus when harmonies join Madonna singing, “I’ll be your one stop (one stop) candy shop.” The track is punctuated with throbbing breaks filled with hypnotic synths, and Pharrell jumps on the mike for a brief rhyme. The most lyrical of the five songs is “Miles Away,” a wistful tune about a long-distance relationship with a melody that resembles Timberlake’s FutureSex/LoveSounds, an album Danja says Madonna admired. “We would come up with a track and him and Madonna would come and do lyrics and melody together,” Danja explains. The song opens with a quickly strummed acoustic guitar, then a stuttering beat drops in and the track slowly swells until it’s filled with atmospheric synths. “You always seem to have the biggest heart when we’re 6,000 miles apart,” Madonna sings grandly, lamenting, “I guess we’re at our best when we’re miles away.” The song has a more airy aesthetic compared to the heavy beats on other tracks, which reflects its more emotional lyrics. The track that sounds most like a more urban, edgy continuation of Confessions is the excellent “Give It to Me,” which bumps along to a thick synth tone Danja employed on Britney Spears’ Blackout. It’s an aggressive, clubby track with a raw, house-y beat that’s ripe for remixing, and Madonna sings, “When the lights go down and there’s no one left I can go on and on.” It ends after a fast, killer breakdown where she chants “Get stupid” over a xylophone chime as the beat builds into a frenzy and she proclaims, “Give it to me / No one’s gonna stop me now.” The dance floor theme returns again on “Heartbeat,” which boasts a thumping hip-hop beat with a sandpaper shuffle and twinkling Eighties-reminiscent synths. Madonna opens up her voice more, singing, “Can’t you see when I dance I feel free / Which makes me feel like the only one the light shines on.” The song features a brief rap breakdown that recalls Nelly Furtado’s chanty “Promiscuous” (”See my booty get down,” Madonna speak-sings), but returns to its clubby roots in the end.

Danja revealed that actually Timbaland is the main producer and Madonna worked with some newcomer Hannon (from Rhapsody):
Are you still working on Madonna's album? Actually Madonna is finished. Me and Tim did four or five [songs] together. He also did three more with a new producer, Hannon, out of Virginia. Then Pharrell did the rest. So it’s like a Virginia-produced album. I’m actually kind of proud of that. Even though me and Tim and Pharrell didn’t work together, just for us to completely conquer an artist such as Madonna ... I’m good. Either way, whether we got a single or [Pharrell] got a single, Virginia got a [Madonna] single. What was the vibe like? She was cool. She had a dark sense of humor that I can’t explain. She might just say something crazy that you might feel is out of line. But it’s not. It’s just her sense of humor. She was in the studio chilling with us, being open and the whole nine. With any session when you don’t know somebody, the first session is the hardest. You gotta break the ice, but after that initial session, it was all good. Another person that I worked with, Mariah, was really cool and so down to earth. [I did] her new single that’s coming out with T-Pain, “Migrate.” | |

I'm so freaking hyped about the release of '4 minutes....'. The various clips ive heard sound amazing, waaaay better than Candy Store or The Beat Goes On.
The one thing im not loving is her plastic surgery. Im not saying its hideous, but it just seems pointless. She looked fine before, and now she looks freakish with those cheeks. Can she even blink after that eye lift? Im sure it'll drop and she'll look great all the same, but im worried about what this may be the start of. Loving Danja's quote about her sense of humour being dark. That he then parrallels that to Mariah as being "down to earth".....as down to earth as someone who permanently wears 6 inch heals and has a 'Hello Kitty' bedroom can be. You think he's trying to say shes a bit simple? | |

They're sitting before a pc for hours to make primitive beats and soulless bass lines and they call it "a session"??? | |
