Madonna - Hard Candy

I've been wanting to blog about this album for quite some time now but never got around it, I mean how can I not review a new Madonna record? So many people give me crap for liking her but I don't give a damn about it and all I can say to them is grow up and have some confidence in yourselves. Anyways, I've had it for nearly a month now, and I bought the physical release around 3 weeks ago and I'm still loving it. Yes it's not really ground breaking work, and it's not a typical Madonna sound and some might say that she jumped on the RnB/Hip/hop bandwagon but that's who Madonna actually is, going for what is hip and current and adding her personal twists to it and that's exactly what happened on this release and I'm enjoying the ride so far. 4 minutes is doing really well for her and there's major hype on the second single too so it's all good so far. I'm especially loving the timbaland produced tracks because those seem to have much more depth lyrically especially "Devil Wouldn't Recognize you' and 'Voices' as well as 'Miles Away' but the lighter and more fun tracks like 'Heartbeat' and 'Give it to me' are also really great and major fun to listen to really loud on your speakerphone or even in the car. All in all, I think it's a solid album and It should keep me happy for quite some time. Rumor has it that she's also coming to dubai next year for her world tour so if that happens then I should make an effort to try and catch the show and see her live for 'the very first time'.

My Rating: 9/10
