DROWNEDMADONNA.COM EXCLUSIVE - Following the junket in Los Angeles yesterday and now that the album release date is not so far, DrownedMadonna.com can give you more details about Madonna's new album "Hard Candy."

 

Candy Store - This is the same exact as the version which leaked months and months ago. (And we briefly talked about this on our community several weeks ago).

4 Minutes - Very high energy, back and forth between Madonna and Justin Timberlake the whole song. Timbaland speaks throughout, but does not rap nor sing on the track. The song ends with a breakdown and Timbaland's voice. The horn/trumpet sound we hear in the jingle ball clip lasts throughout the entire song. The song ends in kind of a breakdown. Madonna's final words are "tick tock tick tock tick tock" then the beat changes and the horns stop as it goes into a breakdown, with a few more "tick tocks" and Timbaland saying, ''uh , yeah... we only got four minutes'', beats stop, now silence... "to save the world" add Timbaland.

 

Give It 2 Me - Funky, dancey track, this time by Pharrell Williams, who is heard on the track.

 

Heartbeat - Has an 80's feel, totally catchy. Think "Future Lovers" only better! The chorus reflects one of the true Madonna/Pop moments on the album.

 

Miles Away - Melodic, haunting, while still catering to the target audience of this album. One of the best songs.

 

She's Not Me - Hip-Hop, cool, fresh, sexy and EDGY. Madonna sings to a partner about another girl and how this girl just can't measure up to Madonna. She tells him, "she can love you in the shower" but "she doesn't have my name".

 

Incredible - A sleeper track, this one is subtle at first, but its groovy beats can make it grow into a fan favorite.

 

Beat Goes On - Completely different, less melody and more beat driven than the demo that was leaked. As we already revealed on December 4, Kanye West raps rather long verse at the end.

Dance Tonight - This is a fun one. Totally old school, Madonna and Justin duet. Simple wood block beat throughout. "Inspirational" Hey You-ish bits in the chorus about not needing to be rich, famous and beautiful to be understood, with dance/club driven verses and bridge.

 

Spanish Lesson - In this filler Madonna speaks in various languages and keeps with the urban theme.

 

Devil - Previously known to fans as "Even the Devil Wouldn't Recognize You", it's neither a ballad nor a dance song. Could more fittingly be compared to the being the "Isaac" of the album. Fate, angels, stars, disguises and lies make up this cool, dark track that will have you "keep on comin' back for more" as one lyric goes.

 

Voices - Madonna stays with her recent theme of keeping the more wordy, reflective songs for her last track with this one. Probably the most lyrically deep song on the album, the song poses a range of trippy questions to the listener/subject and it has a bit of a slower tempo while still keeping a hot hip hop beat.

sounds SEXY :wub:

Wow candy store is the same as the demo that leaked ages ago? i hope its a tiny bit different!

Tracklist looks amazing! However, was disappointed when she announced the official title..Hard Candy just doesn't do it for me!

 

Looking forwards to hearing Give it 2 Me, Miles Away and Devil!

 

A few critics have already given it some positive reviews. The tracks flow together nicely said a few but aren't linked like Confessions as some claimed!

 

So, it sounds very much like a typical Madonna record with pop/dance elements with a hip hop touch. Judging by 4 Mintues.....its pretty much pop :)

Which cud mean "La La" (The coffee song) will end up on Timbaland's next album....

 

=============================

 

More song descriptions from MadonnaTribe :

 

The excitement over Madonna's new album is growing more and more, and more album trivia and tidbits are just in to tease us fans eager to bite Madonna's Hard Candy". We've learned that...

 

"Hearbeat" does indeed start with the sound of a heart beating (and wouldn't it be very cool if this one turns out to be the sound of Madonna's own heart?).

 

The vocoder is back in the final section of the song"Give It To Me" that ends with the wind blowing.

 

"Incredible" is the longest song on the album, with a running time of over 6 minutes!

 

"Devil" starts with a melancholic piano solo and that the last thing you'll hear when the album ends is the sound of a bell stroken at the end of "Voices".

 

"This album is incredibly rich from a musical point of view", a source tells Madonna Tribe. "You can barely find a song with a traditional verse-chorus structure, most of the tracks have a more complex set-up with bridges, alternate verses and pre-choruses."

"And the best part is that Madonna is actually singing on most of them, with a magnificent, prominent voice.

 

From what we hear - just to mention one song - Madonna performs four different melodies in "Voices" - no matter if this is one of the album's shortest tracks, and she sings them one right after another in an amazing sequence of music and lyrics.

 

I wanted to hear The Coffee Song :(

ENOUGH REVIEWS! I want the album!

Exactly......this is one 'hard' tease :)

Question: Has anyone else downloaded "Give it to me"? I downloaded a version and I know it is Madonna's voice for sure. But the song isn't dancy or hip hop---it sounds like more electronica with a touch of rock with her singing very staccato and her tone constantly went up and down and her voice is altered like "Die Another Day". Is that the version you guys have?

i didn't know give it to me leaked.. i'm not sure if i want it :(
