The title of Madonna's forthcoming album will be Hard Candy, EW.com has learned exclusively. The record, her last studio effort for Warner Bros., includes a track called "Candy Store." Madonna chose to stick with the sweet theme because "she loves candy," says her longtime rep Liz Rosenberg. "It's about the juxtaposition of tough and sweetness, or as Madonna so eloquently expressed 'I'm gonna kick your ass, but it's going to make you feel good.'" The album, which features Justin Timberlake on multiple tracks and production by Pharrell Williams, Timbaland, and Nate "Danja" Hills, will see a U.S. release on April 29. The first single, "Four Minutes," will be out at the end of March.
The tracklisting is as follows:
1) Candy Store (produced by Pharrell)
2) 4 Minutes (produced by Timbaland & Danja)
3) Give It 2 Me (produced by Timbaland & Danja)
4) Heartbeat
5) Miles Away (produced by Timbaland & Danja)
6) She's Not Me
7) Incredible
8) Beat Goes On (produced by Pharrell)
9) Dance Tonight (produced by Timbaland)
10) Spanish Lesson
11) Devil (produced by Timbaland)
12) Voices
The other Timbaland/Timberlake track "Across The Sky" apparently did not make the album.
Justin Timberlake will also be inducting Madonna into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. The ceremony, to be held on March 10, will take place at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York. Other inducturs include Tom Hanks (for '60s group the Dave Clark Five) Lou Reed (for folk legend Leonard Cohen), Billy Joel (for John Mellencamp), Ben Harper (for blues harmonica player Little Walter), Jerry Butler (for legendary soul producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff) and John Fogerty (for instrumental group the Ventures).

"she loves candy". That's deep.
ReplyDeletelol you been living in a cave the last 6 years kdpedro ?
ReplyDeleteyea if so you should check out this new michael jackson song as well. It's called 'thriller' hehe nah j/k :)
ReplyDeleteend of March!!???
ReplyDeleteoh, at least I'll have something to listen to during spring break
Most singles and albums leak about 2 weeks before the official release date. Which means that '4 Minutes' will leak in about 2 weeks I guess. 4 weeks after that the rest of the album will probably leak. But hey, I'm just guessing.
ReplyDeleteThe end of March...excuse me,but F$ck That!Why did tim preview the track so early then,I just don't think I can't wait any more,someone please go and STEAL the song NOW!
ReplyDeleteonly 12 tracks...
ReplyDeletemhee
GAAAAAH
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for it !!!
From the review I just saw this is how the credits are so far:
ReplyDelete1) Candy Store (produced by The Neptunes)
2) 4 Minutes To Save The World (produced by Timbaland)
3) Give It 2 Me (produced by The Neptunes)
4) Heartbeat (produced by The Neptunes)
5) Miles Away (produced by Timbaland & Danja)
6) She's Not Me
7) Incredible
8) Beat Goes On (produced by The Neptunes)
9) Dance Tonight (produced by Timbaland)
10) Spanish Lesson (produced by The Neptunes)
11) Devil (produced by Timbaland)
12) Voices (produced by Timbaland)
They didnt distinct the Timbaland tracks as either with Hannon or Danja.
I saw that as well Bigmac but remember Danja talking about 'Give It To Me' in the Rolling Stone interview:
ReplyDelete"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."
Just a mistake you made:
ReplyDeleteSecond song is titled 'Four Minutes' and not '4 Minutes To Save The World'. Song has been produced by Danja and Timbaland.

A Vibe Magazine article just quoted this:(Madonna's forthcoming Hard Candy - a "monster" in in his words - is a 12-track split: six Neptunes-produced songs, six Timbaland-produced). Its an article about the NERD album and thats what Pharrell said.
