Hard Candy - Madonna

Hard Candy is the eleventh studio album from the chameleon of pop colloquially known as Madonna and the follow up to her 2005's hugely successful Confessions On A Dancefloor album. Throughout her career, which spans three decades she has consistently proved to have her finger on the musical pulse and her ability to re-invent herself to capitalise on the trend of the moment is one of the most important factors that has contributed towards her phenomenal ...
...people of the moment. Hard Candy always promised to take a RnB direction and news that she was working with today's hottest people like Timbaland, Pharrel Williams, Justin Timberlake and Kanye West confirmed this to be the case. Always a fan of Madonna I was rather dismayed to hear that this album would have an urban/hip hop pop feel to it. "4 minutes" gave us a taster of what we could expect and also gave Madonna her 13th UK number one single. ...

Review of Hard Candy - Madonna

Here is a woman who knows exactly what she's doing, and how to do it! It took me a while to settle into the album... 4 minutes and give it to me were completly saturating the radio stations over the months. This put me off the album. I was not a huge fan of her previous album as it was a little too clubby, dance and I prefer her calm melodies! (not all the time). It was when I heard 'miles away' that I became hooked. I decided to go to my local music ...
...first 3 tracks, but I fell in love with all the others! Her music is easy to listen to, calm, melodious and well worth the trip down to the music store! The first 3 tracks are dance and reflect her last album. The other 8 tracks are excellent in my opinion. My favourite album still remains 'The immaculate collection'! I would always suggest that you test the album in a shop or at a friends place before buying! ...

...unique vocal ability, which graces the tracks, but with the help of timbaland justin timberlake and various other producers such as p. williams, t. mosley and nate "danja" hills it has proved to be a slightly urban but nevertheless another great album which has already proven its greatness in the UK charts as having the Number 1 single '4 Minutes' and the number 1 album 'Hard Candy' already passing mariah's highly anticipated new album 'E=MC2' to ...

Review of Hard Candy - Madonna

It has always amazed me how this woman keeps going and in such a good style, taking into account her not - so - exceptional voice. Good producers, excellent business mind, getting top new artists involved is the answer, I guess... I was a bit uncertain about the album at first, not knowing what to make of it. "Give it to me" was well of a mock and the whole thing didn't seem to have any harmony at all. Only after few listenings did I come to appreciate ...
...varied with gave the initial impression of chaos. Yet each track is clearly defined and perfectly constructed "wholeness", a Master Piece. Obviously (?) excellent entertainer and fabulous dance tunes. The front cover is a disappointment - one would think the lady can age in style, too. The image does not diminish the quality of music but it is in bad taste. ...
