Madonna's 'Hard Candy' Leaks Again... And Again... And Again.

Madonna's having a hard time at the moment. Under attack from the press for her 'hard' image, and her refusal to retire, the last thing she needs is a load of tracks to leak from her new album. And yet the whole album was released onto the web today, three days before 'Hard Candy's release.
I'm actually quite impressed... this 'hard' image doesn't really bother me too much- the music is what matters, after all. And people can continue to be frustrated with Madonna, asking her to retire. Why? Would you, when you can continue to produce number 1 singles/albums into your 50's?
The new tracks are fairly impressive, with the production values coming through strong. Pharrell and Timbaland produce the bulk of the album, with Nate Hills contributing the remainder. Madonna seems to have enlisted a who's who of rap and hip hop acts, which is important considering this is meant to be her first foray into hip hop.
'Hard Candy' can be pre-ordered here...
Taken down! damn might actually have to buy the album. Although from the tracks i've heard this is very similar to Nelly Furtado - Loose in terms of production, what it will do for the artist and just how it generally sounds.
I would re-up it, but I'm worried they will take my whole blog down!
I got a hold of the CD, and believe me....absolutely NOTHING stands out on it.
fair play- I still have yet to listen to it!
imho "Give it 2 me" and "She's not me" are two of her best songs ever.
I agree that the production of her album is similar to N. Furtado's "Lose" which was hard to digest for me at first, but "Maneater" was instant love. I also like "Miles Away" and "Heartbeat" very much.
