Ok people…shit is about to get girlie.Madonna – otherwise known as Madge, Material Girl, Mrs. Ritchie and other, has released her latest musical effort – Hard Candy. You would have to be completely daft…or deaf…not to have heard the buzz around this album.
Admittedly, I am 100% bias having loved this woman for as long as I can remember (lacey gloves and spangles come to mind, but it’s fuzzy). If I thought the album was shit I would admit it, but this is simply NOT so. Having listened to the 12 tracks non stop over the past week, I’d like to share with you…
The Urban Cowgirl’s official Hard Candy review:
‘Candy Shop’ is a sticky sweet start to the album, produced by The Neptunes, who have clearly
given Timbaland a run for his money. Pop-disco dance track ‘Beat Goes On’, produced once again by The Neptunes and featuring an appearance by Kanye West, makes me wanna boogie oogie oogie, til I just can’t boogie no more. Love it. Madge gives a solid shout out to her Latin fans with the sexy ‘Spanish Lesson’, also produced by - you guessed it - The Neptunes, thoughtfully laced with Latin guitar licks. Shakira called, she wants her hips back…cuz they don’t lie. Monsieur Timberlake collabs on ‘Dance 2Night’, offering up yet another dance track to make you drop it like its hotter then a Kabbalah convention. And let’s not forget the single that started it all, ‘4 Minutes’. Timbaland’s only true gem on the album, although it has become so overplayed I get a little twitchy when I hear it. I digress; it’s still a hot little ditty.
The Urban Cowgirl gives this album 5 Malawi orphans out of 5.
Dust off your stilettos as the official countdown to Sex and the City: The Movie is on – 17 days until the film opens worldwide; 16 days until the Vancouver premier…anyone have tickets and in desperate need of a date? Cosmos on me?
