Album Notes HARD CANDY continues in the driving, club-oriented vein of 2005's CONFESSIONS ON A DANCE FLOOR, proving that Madonna has lost none of her energy and verve with age. In terms of material, in fact, HARD CANDY bests its predecessor, and the artist continues to make herself relevant in the 2000s by adding distinctly hip-hop grooves to her increasingly electronica-driven sound. Remarkably, the result never sounds like a blatant commercial appeal. As with nearly everything she's done, this groove-heavy disc is distinctly Madonna's own. The Material Girl sculpted her sound this time out by hiring some of the hottest producers on the scene, including Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, and Pharrell and the Neptunes. Cuts like the lead-off single, "4 minutes" (a duet with Timberlake), and the thumping, sexy title track sparkle with a contemporary club feel, begging listeners to turn it up and shake it. Yet Madonna's classic pop sensibilities are far from lost in the mix. "Beat Goes On" recalls vintage singles like "Holiday"; "Heartbeat" is sleek, singalong Europop; and "Miles Away" is a love song that rides a sweet midtempo groove. Fun, danceable, and infectious, HARD CANDY is another winner from one of pop's all-time icons. | Find errors in the product description? Submit a catalog update request now. | ||||||||||||
Reviews The beats nice, and the melodies are infectious. You'll find yourself singing along. The first half of this cd seems to be all i listen to though. The music kind of slows down half way through. Overall, a great purchase. Review ID: 10000000008600380 Was this review helpful? Report this review This CD of Madonna is average. I feel all her other albums are more creative, the songs are o.k. This is a continuation of her last cd which is so much better. The reason I chose to buy this cd is because I am going to her concert and I've been a fan since I was a child. Review ID: 10000000008541653 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 08/29/08 by: I absolutely love this album. They say it's suppose to be her last CD with WB. She's had a long career with WB and I guess it's time to move on. Every song is thumping and bumping and the grooves are all delicious and precise! Hooks and melodies that stick in your head like "She's Not Me." This is one of my favorite tracks on the CD. "Give It 2 Me" is infectious especially if you can obtain a copy of the remixes especially Eddie Amador and Paul Oakenfold's remixes! HOT! No matter how many times I listen to the album, I never seem to grow tired of this album. Candy Shop is one my other favs on the CD. 4 minutes is my least favorite. I know, sacriledge! But one can't always like everything. It's the concept I guess. However, the remixes for 4 minutes are much tastier than the original version. Especially the Peter Rauhofer Does New York remix fits the song unlike the original CD version which is lack luster. It's not so much the lyrics as the music. At any rate, Madonna made a good choice as to have Give It 2 Me as the next single. It's marvaleous. Overall you will not be disappointed. 5 Stars!

My purchase of this CD started as just a desire to have the song "4 Minutes", but once I listened to the whole CD I was very impressed. Many great songs fill the CD, some that I could even relate to! The whole CD is great music. Review ID: 10000000008074211 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
