I'm not sure what to think of Hard Candy. There's so much to love about it, and yet so much stuff that's so hard to swallow. It's an anomaly in Madonna's career; rather than go her own ways and explore little-known genres or at least make them her own - like she's always done - she explores the semi-hiphop dance flora. Rather than be the risk-taking pioneer, she's joined the club. This is precisely why Hard Candy may be her weakest effort in terms of character.

Don't get me wrong; Hard Candy is full of wonderful songs, excellently crafted and atmospheric. It's just that its principal problem is that Madonna takes a somewhat 'backseat' to it. She hired Justin Timberlake, Timbaland ... Read More

Once more Madonna brings another album that shows that she really has a flawless talent. Every album that she records takes us on a tour of a renovated Madonna but obviuosly, with her same roots.
Her previous album "Confessions on a dance floor" from my point of view was one of her greatest productions, (I found "American life" not good).
"Hard candy" has a more commercial sound. It has contribuitions of big names in the american music business such as Pharrell Willimas, Timbaland, Kanye West and Justin Timberlake. All the songs sound fresh and have great rhythms. The opennig track, "Candy shop" gives the album's tittle and is fun. My favorite track on this album is "Give it 2 me" ... Read More

Hard Candy being Madonna's latest release is an ok release that is neither really bad or all that good either. I did not expect Confessions part II, knowing that Madonna likes to change her music and image for every record she releases. This time it just does not work all that well. Whilst it worked like a charm with William Orbit. This time around with Timbaland it sounds uninspired many times. 4 minutes, Give it 2 me are great tracks. However, to much Timbaland just gets, well not that fun. As for the book-let. Well Madonna looks even more plastic then usual. That outfit is not especially flattering. No lyrics and the rest of the information is basically impossible to read. I expected a lot ... Read More

Catchy songs including The Billboard Hot 100 TOP TEN Hit "4 minutes" with Justin Timberlake and Timbaland, "Give it 2 me" and "The beat goes on" with Kanya West (not a remake of the 1967 Sonny and Cher classic) In the U.S. "Hard Candy" has sold about 648,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan, and many of the songs can be heard during Madonna's "Sticky and Sweet" tour, where she also gets into Politics. Interestingly, In the 2008 Presidential Primary race, Hillary Clinton earned more Votes than any Presidential Primary candidate in the history of America (hillaryclintonforum, The Denver Group)
