Advantages: Good sound, nice vocals

Disadvantages: Still not like her classic sound

Following up Confession on a Dance Floor, Hard Candy is Madonn's 11th studio album. The big question is whether the original Queen of pop is still going strong on this effort?

I'm big fan of Madonn's classic material such as Like A Virgin & Cherish which all had a very distinctive sound, so far though I haven't been so keen on her newer experimental sound which she's used on her last few albums. However this album is slightly more appealing, and I would say a better listen than her last few albums. It's got a very RnB feel about it, although there are moments of pop & electro.

You will recognise the singles Give It To Me, 4 Seconds & Miles Away but there quite a few other stand out tracks on this CD. I particularly like Candy Shop, She's Not Me and Heartbeat. The songs are catchy so will get in your head & there are some brilliant vocals too.

When I first heard this album, I wasn't sure what to make of it but the more I listened to it, the more I started liking it, so I think it's a grower than you might need to give a little time to.

If you were a Madonna fan back in the day but haven't liked her more recent efforts, you might enjoy this. It's not like her classic sound but it is something a little different to give a try to.

Summary: Worth a listen
