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 million dollar question is will this be another “Confessions on the Dancefloor” or another “American Life”?
Madonna is old and needs to stop trying to stay relevant. She is embarrassing herself.

Did anyone else immediately think of that Ellen Page movie of the same name? Kind of ruins the “funness” of the name…
Madonna is the Queen. Nobody could do what she does. I cannot wait for this smash hit CD to be playing in my car. I need me some HARD CANDY!
“Madonna chose to stick with the sweet theme because ‘she loves candy…’”
I don’t know why, but this sentence made me crack up. I can just picture Madonna sitting in her castle in England surrounded by Gummy bears and candy canes because she loves candy so much.
Lorne…you better watch your back. How dare you call Madonna “the Queen”?!
Expect an angry press release from Aretha Franklin in the immediate future.
Madonna is, well, blah…but please visit my new Mariah Carey blog and help Mariah’s new single hit number one.
